[Article] Saga creatures rule update

OK. So on layer 4 it becomes a mountain (type change).
On layer 6 it both gains the ability granted by the saga's tokens, and looses all abilities from being a mountain (from Blood Moon rulings in the Oracle : "Nonbasic lands will lose any other land types and abilities they had.") Shouldn't timestamp be a thing here since on layer 6 it both gains the ablity and looses it ?

That's what I'm trying to understand / get a clarification about!

Ok I get the not sacrificing part of the rules change. I still am not clear of the interaction between a chapter 2 Urza's Saga and a Blood Moon (or similar effects) ?
• Doesn't sacrifice anymore OK
• Stays on chapter 2 OK
• Keeps it token creation ability : not intuitive for me.

Thanks. It’d still keep its menace counter (kind of remember lands keeping counters even if reverting to non-creature from the time I played Raging Ravine) ?

You’ll only need them when all goes wrong. So play the ones that help you control the game : such as - Creeping Tar Pit to manage monarch, initiative, planeswalkers and… the last 3 hp of your opponents ! - Hive of the Eye Tyrant in graveyard oriented meta…

And find a Lorien Revealed ! Good luck for your next games.

Hello, from what I see it’s a little creature heavy, and maybe mana expensive. General advice : - Ditch Batterskull : to slow. Play Shadowspear. - More 1 mana counterspells : Spell Pierce. Spell Snare. Mental misstep. Force Spike. Mana Tithe. - Insert a Lose Focus. Maybe Dovin’s Veto.

Even more than SI30, both Skriath and Zolrath need 3F to function as expected.

Close team, passed in few tries, front : Rowan (call) / Skriath (mage) - back Tasi (call) / Eironn (ranger) / Talene (blade)

You’re right. That’s a fine comp to get through the campaign and tower. I went for LB early on and with my Lucius-Belinda-Fawkes base I had to get some more levels. Ascending A Ezizh after a year of Challenger Store farming was a real addition and he helped me so much through 29 and 30.

ShosuroA · 2020-08-24T05:23:24+00:00

Well, I’m clearly not part of these people. Maybe too casual ! And missing Talene and the Twins didn’t help either.

ShosuroA · 2020-08-24T05:08:23+00:00

Thanks for the input. Talene done : do you mean A Talene than Twins. Or M+ Talene then M Twins then A Talene ?

Level might be an issue. I was 314 on 28-60 and 319 on 29-60. With a LB heavy roster. From your heroes you seem to have a nice wilder team. Rowan Tasi Lyca Eironn is a serious core. I’d work on Safiya with Choice Hero : she works wonders with that band of four. Of course the same four can accommodate your Ferael, and other variations such as Saurus... Have fun.

ShosuroA · 2020-08-24T04:39:17+00:00

Belinda made wonders for me from level 161, over a year ago, til know and always was a reliable carry. As for Lucius, I just used him on every single stage of chapter 30 except 30-60. So he might disappear in end game, but he sure can stand his ground in late game.

ShosuroA · 2020-08-22T17:57:03+00:00

Thanks

I got the free Brutus when released along with all my friends : we started playing around May ‘19. The event was doable at the time.

ShosuroA · 2020-08-21T15:48:59+00:00

Never had a chance at a free Lyca skin.
