Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2016-09-20

    Verdurous Gearhulk can be the target of its own triggered ability.

  • 2016-09-20

    If one of the target creatures becomes an illegal target in response to Verdurous Gearhulk's triggered ability, the +1/+1 counters that would have been put on that creature are lost. They can't be put on another legal target.

  • 2016-09-20

    You choose how the counters will be distributed as you put Verdurous Gearhulk's triggered ability onto the stack. Each target creature must be assigned at least one counter.

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

Every version of Verdurous Gearhulk

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 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 Verdurous Gearhulk. 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.
