Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2020-11-10

    The creature you sacrifice isn't chosen until Victimize resolves. You can't return the creature you sacrifice because it will still be on the battlefield at the time targets are chosen.

  • 2020-11-10

    You must choose two targets. You can't cast Victimize targeting only one creature card.

  • 2020-11-10

    If one of the targeted creature cards is an illegal target (for instance, because it has left your graveyard before Victimize resolves), you'll still sacrifice a creature and put the other card onto the battlefield. If both are illegal targets, Victimize won't resolve. You won't sacrifice a creature.

  • 2020-11-10

    As Victimize resolves, you must sacrifice a creature if able. You can't change your mind and choose not to sacrifice anything.

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

Every version of Victimize

20 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 Victimize — 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.
