Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2019-05-03

    Spells and abilities that cause opponents to gain life still resolve while Tibalt is on the battlefield. No opponent will gain life, but any other effects of that spell or ability will happen.

  • 2019-05-03

    If an effect says to set an opponent's life total to a number that's higher than their current life total while Tibalt is on the battlefield, the player's life total doesn't change.

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

Every version of Tibalt, Rakish Instigator

6 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 Tibalt, Rakish Instigator — 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.
