Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2017-08-25

    You can’t choose more modes for Vindictive Lich’s triggered ability than you have opponents, but you need to choose at least one target if you can.

  • 2017-08-25

    You don’t have to choose a mode for each opponent. For example, you could make one opponent lose 5 life and spare each other opponent. They might not repay your kindness.

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

Every version of Vindictive Lich

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 Vindictive Lich. 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.
