Thought Eater

Creature — Beast MV 2

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Flying

Your maximum hand size is reduced by three.

Rulings

One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

  • 2009-10-01

    If multiple effects modify your hand size, apply them in timestamp order. For example, if you are affected by Cursed Rack (an artifact that sets a player's maximum hand size to four) and then put Thought Eater onto the battlefield, your maximum hand size would be one. However, if those permanents entered in the opposite order, your maximum hand size would be four.

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

Every version of Thought Eater

1 printing, 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 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 Thought Eater. It runs a name search across every version, which covers 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.
