What it does

Flying, lifelink

Ward—Sacrifice three nonland permanents.

If a card you didn't control would be put into an opponent's graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead.

During your turn, you may play cards exiled with Valgavoth. If you cast a spell this way, pay life equal to its mana value rather than pay its mana cost.

Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2024-09-20

    You follow all timing rules for spells cast and lands played using the permission granted by Valgavoth's last ability.

  • 2024-09-20

    The spells you cast using the permission granted by Valgavoth's last ability have an alternative cost that's paying life equal to their mana value. You can't choose to pay their mana cost and may not pay any other alternative costs. You may still pay for additional costs, such as kicker costs, and you may pay mana for those as normal. If the spell has mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.

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

Every version of Valgavoth, Terror Eater

5 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 Valgavoth, Terror Eater — 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.
