What it does

At the beginning of your upkeep, secretly choose a number between 1 and 5 that hasn't been chosen. If you do, an opponent guesses which number you chose, then you reveal the number you chose. If they guessed wrong, they lose life equal to the number they guessed and you draw a card. If they guessed right, sacrifice this enchantment.

Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2023-10-13

    If The Toymaker's Trap leaves the battlefield and later returns to the battlefield, it has no memory of which numbers were chosen for its effect before. The same is true if you control a second copy of it.

  • 2023-10-13

    To secretly choose a number, write a number from 1 to 5 down without showing it to anyone else.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of The Toymaker's Trap

4 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for The Toymaker's Trap — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
