Rulings
5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2025-02-07
If an ability triggers whenever you activate an exhaust ability, that ability resolves before the exhaust ability resolves.
- 2025-02-07
If an exhaust ability of a permanent is activated, and then that permanent leaves the battlefield and returns to the battlefield, it becomes a new object so its exhaust ability can be activated again.
- 2025-02-07
Multiple instances of ward each trigger separately.
- 2025-02-07
Exhaust abilities can be activated any time you could normally activate an ability.
- 2025-02-07
If an effect causes Winter to become an artifact, its second ability will cause it to gain a second instance of ward.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Winter, Cursed Rider. 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.
