Winter, Cynical Opportunist card art

Winter, Cynical Opportunist

Legendary Creature — Human Warlock MV 4

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Deathtouch

Whenever Winter attacks, mill three cards.

Delirium — At the beginning of your end step, you may exile any number of cards from your graveyard with four or more card types among them. If you do, put a permanent card from among them onto the battlefield with a finality counter on it.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2024-09-20

    Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant.

  • 2024-09-20

    Finality counters aren't keyword counters, and a finality counter doesn't give any abilities to the permanent it's on. If that permanent loses its abilities and then would go to a graveyard, it will still be exiled instead.

  • 2024-09-20

    If a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.

  • 2024-09-20

    Finality counters don't stop permanents from going to zones other than the graveyard from the battlefield. For example, if a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into its owner's hand from the battlefield, it does so normally.

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