What it does

Remove a charge counter from Umezawa's Jitte: Choose one —

• Equipped creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn.

• Target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn.

• You gain 2 life.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2005-02-01

    If the Jitte is moved after the "+2/+2" mode is announced but before it resolves, the bonus is given to the creature that is equipped when the ability resolves.

  • 2005-02-01

    The ability can be used any time Umezawa's Jitte's controller has priority — only the "target creature" choice has additional requirements. Choosing the "Equipped creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn" mode does nothing if the Jitte isn't equipped to a creature when the ability resolves.

  • 2005-02-01

    If the "target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn" mode is chosen, the target creature must also be announced.

  • 2005-02-01

    Umezawa's Jitte's activated ability generates a modal choice. The choice is made when the ability is activated.

  • 2005-02-01

    If the Jitte leaves the battlefield after the "+2/+2" mode is announced but before it resolves, the bonus is given to the creature that was most recently equipped once the ability resolves.

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

7 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 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 Umezawa's Jitte. 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.
