Waylaying Pirates

Creature — Human Pirate MV 4

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

When this creature enters, if you control an artifact, tap target artifact or creature an opponent controls and put a stun counter on it. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.)

Rulings

One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

  • 2023-11-10

    The enters-the-battlefield ability can target an artifact or creature that's already tapped. If so, you'll just put a stun counter on that artifact or creature.

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

Every version of Waylaying Pirates

1 printing, 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 Waylaying Pirates. 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.
