Xenagos, God of Revels card art

Xenagos, God of Revels

Legendary Enchantment Creature — God MV 5

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Indestructible

As long as your devotion to red and green is less than seven, Xenagos isn't a creature.

At the beginning of combat on your turn, another target creature you control gains haste and gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is that creature's power.

Rulings

14 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2013-09-15

    Mana symbols in the text boxes of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.

  • 2013-09-15

    If an activated ability or triggered ability has an effect that depends on your devotion to a color, you count the number of mana symbols of that color among the mana costs of permanents you control as the ability resolves. The permanent with that ability will be counted if it's still on the battlefield at that time.

  • 2013-09-15

    Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).

  • 2013-09-15

    Numeric mana symbols ({0}, {1}, and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.

  • 2014-02-01

    The value of X is calculated only once, as the ability resolves.

  • 2020-11-10

    If Xenagos stops being a creature, it loses the type creature and the creature type God. It continues to be a legendary enchantment.

  • 2020-11-10

    Your devotion to two colors is the number of mana symbols among mana costs of permanents you control that are the first color, the second, or both. If an effect counts your devotion to two colors, a hybrid symbol that is both of those colors is counted just once.

  • 2020-11-10

    As Xenagos enters the battlefield, your devotion to red and green will determine whether any replacement effects that affect creatures entering the battlefield apply. Because replacement effects are considered before Xenagos is on the battlefield, the mana symbols in its mana cost won't be counted when determining this.

  • 2020-11-10

    The type-changing ability that can make Xenagos not be a creature functions only on the battlefield. It's always a creature card in other zones, regardless of your devotion to red and green. It's always a creature spell while it's on the stack.

  • 2020-11-10

    When Xenagos enters the battlefield, your devotion to red and green will determine if a creature entered the battlefield or not for abilities that trigger whenever a creature enters the battlefield. The mana symbols in Xenagos's own mana cost are counted when determining this.

  • 2020-11-10

    If Xenagos is attacking or blocking and it stops being a creature, it will be removed from combat. It won't rejoin combat if it resumes being a creature later during that combat.

  • 2020-11-10

    Counters put on Xenagos remain on it while it's not a creature, even if they have no effect.

  • 2020-11-10

    Xenagos's abilities function as long as it's on the battlefield, regardless of whether it's a creature.

  • 2020-11-10

    If an effect causes Xenagos to lose all abilities, its ability that causes it to stop being a creature still applies if appropriate.

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 genuinely 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 Xenagos, God of Revels — a name search across every version, for 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.
