Gameplay

Legendary Creature — Human Wizard

Rasputin enters with seven dream counters on it. Remove a dream counter from Rasputin: Add {C}. Remove a dream counter from Rasputin: Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to Rasputin this turn. At the beginning of your upkeep, if Rasputin started the turn untapped, put a dream counter on it. Rasputin can't have more than seven dream counters on it.

The fourth ability has an "intervening 'if' clause," so it won't trigger at all unless Rasputin Dreamweaver started the turn untapped.

2009-10-01wotc

If a permanent with eight or more dream counters on it becomes a copy of Rasputin Dreamweaver (or just gains its last ability), all dream counters except seven are removed from it as a state-based action.

2009-10-01wotc

If a number of dream counters would be put on Rasputin Dreamweaver for any reason that would bring the total number of dream counters on it to eight or more, the total number of dream counters on it is brought to seven instead.

Context

This printing is one of 3 catalogued treatments from ME3 — the lineup includes Foil and Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #170 of *Masters Edition III*, the set that shipped alongside the September 2009 Masters Edition III release.

Card type: Legendary Creature — Human Wizard, color identity blue/white, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {4}{W}{U} (6 converted).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #21,445 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
