Rulings

  1. Mar 20, 2026 · Wizards of the Coast

    Because targets are chosen before costs are paid, the target of Cauldron of Essence's last ability can't be the creature sacrificed to pay its cost.

  2. Mar 20, 2026 · Wizards of the Coast

    If one or more creatures you control die at the same time that Cauldron of Essence leaves the battlefield, its first ability triggers once for each of those creatures.
