What it does

Flash

Flying

When this creature enters, if you cast it, counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard, then you may cast it without paying its mana cost.

Combos with Transcendent Dragon

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-04-04

    If a spell has X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

  • 2025-04-04

    If you wish to cast the exiled card, you do so as part of the resolution of Transcendent Dragon’s last ability. You can’t wait to cast it later. Timing permissions based on the card’s type are ignored.

  • 2025-04-04

    If you cast a spell “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs those must be paid to cast the spell.

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

Every version of Transcendent Dragon

2 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 Transcendent Dragon — 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.
