What it does

Nontoken creatures you control have riot. (They enter with your choice of a +1/+1 counter or haste.)

If a creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage instead.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2023-04-14

    The damage is dealt by the same source as the original source of damage. The doubled damage isn’t dealt by Uncivil Unrest unless it was somehow the original source of damage.

  • 2023-04-14

    If damage dealt by a creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it is being divided or assigned among multiple permanents and/or players, that damage is divided or assigned before doubling. For example, if you attack with a 5/5 creature with trample and it’s blocked by a 2/2 creature, you can assign 2 damage to the blocker and 3 damage to the defending player. Those amounts are then doubled to 4 and 6, respectively.

  • 2023-04-14

    If you choose for the creature to gain haste, it gains haste indefinitely. It won’t lose it as the turn ends or as another player gains control of it.

  • 2023-04-14

    If another effect (or effects) modifies how much damage your creature with a +1/+1 counter on it would deal—by preventing some of it, for example—the player being dealt damage or the controller of the permanent being dealt damage chooses the order in which any such effects (including Uncivil Unrest’s) apply. If all of the damage is prevented, Uncivil Unrest’s effect no longer applies.

  • 2023-04-14

    Riot is a replacement effect. Players can’t respond to your choice of +1/+1 counter or haste, and they can’t take actions while the creature is on the battlefield without one or the other.

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

3 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 Uncivil Unrest. 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.
