People keep flagging Teysa Karlov plus Grave Pact as a bracket 3 problem child, and the debate is worth having instead of dismissing.

The take

The card is fine on its own; the complaint is really about the shell you build around it.

$34.21

for a Commander Masters mythic with an EDHRec rank of 579, which tells you how often it still gets played despite the bracket talk.

Plays well with

  • Blood Artist

    Every sacrifice Grave Pact forces at the table also triggers Blood Artist, so you're draining life off deaths you didn't even cause.

  • Butcher of Malakir

    Butcher's own death trigger already forces a sacrifice, and stacking Grave Pact on top means one creature dying costs opponents twice.

Grave Pact Price Summary

The benchmark price (cheapest playable nonfoil) is $25.67, up 5.5% over 7 days, up 22.7% over 30 days, down 25.8% over 90 days.

Grave Pact Rulings

  • Sep 1, 2023

    If multiple creatures you control die at the same time, Grave Pact's ability will trigger that many times.

  • Sep 1, 2023

    If two players each control a Grave Pact and a creature controlled by one of those players dies, a chain reaction happens. First the ability of that player's Grave Pact will trigger, causing each other player to sacrifice a creature. That sacrifice causes the ability of the other player's Grave Pact to trigger, and so on.

  • Sep 1, 2023

    If you control more than one Grave Pact and a creature you control dies, each of the triggered abilities will trigger. Each other player will sacrifice a creature each time one of those abilities resolves.

  • Sep 1, 2023

    In a Two-Headed Giant game, when a creature you control dies, Grave Pact's triggered ability will cause each other player, including your teammate, to sacrifice a creature. Grave Pact's ability won't trigger when a creature your teammate controls dies.

  • Sep 1, 2023

    None of the players are targeted. A player with hexproof would still sacrifice a creature.
