Wondrous Crucible
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
Permanents you control have ward 2.
At the beginning of your end step, mill two cards, then exile a nonland card at random from your graveyard. Copy it. You may cast the copy without paying its mana cost. (A copy of a permanent spell becomes a token.)
Rulings
4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2022-10-14
If you cast a spell “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t pay any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
- 2022-10-14
The card remains exiled no matter what happens to the copy.
- 2022-10-14
If you don’t cast the copy (perhaps because there are no legal targets available or you don’t want to), the copy will cease to exist.
- 2022-10-14
If the copy has X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

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