About Dictate of Erebos

Dictate of Erebos, Enchantment, designed by Michael C. Hayes first released in May, 2014 in the set Journey into Nyx and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 218.43.

A deck that focuses on sacrificing creatures for value, such as Aristocrats or Sacrifice decks, would benefit from including Dictate of Erebos. While it is a powerful card in those strategies, some players may prefer to use Grave Pact instead, as it has a lower mana cost and can be more easily abused with effects that repeatedly sacrifice creatures. Dictate of Erebos could still see play in decks looking for additional redundancy or as a budget alternative to Grave Pact.

Rules

04/26/14

If multiple creatures you control die at the same time, Dictate of Erebos’s triggered ability will trigger that many times.

04/26/14

If you and an opponent each control a Dictate of Erebos and a creature dies, a chain reaction happens. First the ability of one player’s Dictate of Erebos will trigger, causing each opponent to sacrifice a creature. That sacrifice causes the ability of the other player’s Dictate of Erebos to trigger, and so on.

04/26/14

When the triggered ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is (if that player is an opponent) chooses which creature they will sacrifice, then each other opponent in turn order does the same, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.
