Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2020-04-17

    If an effect says that an opponent may cast a spell during your turn, Tidal Barracuda’s restriction overrules that permission.

  • 2020-04-17

    Tidal Barracuda’s first ability doesn’t grant flash to any objects. It just changes when spells can be cast.

  • 2020-04-17

    Tidal Barracuda’s abilities apply only while Tidal Barracuda is on the battlefield. Notably, its first ability doesn’t apply to Tidal Barracuda as you’re casting it.

  • 2020-04-17

    Your opponents can still activate abilities during your turn.

  • 2020-04-17

    Once a player announces that they’re casting a spell, players can’t try to remove Tidal Barracuda to make it so that spell couldn’t be cast at that time. Spells cast as though they had flash will still resolve if able, even if Tidal Barracuda is no longer on the battlefield at that time.

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

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.
