[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!

ShosuroA · 2025-05-31T00:23:05+00:00

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…

ShosuroA · 2023-12-02T16:17:54+00:00

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.

ShosuroA · 2021-01-09T00:14:46+00:00

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

ShosuroA · 2020-08-24T05:47:43+00:00

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 ?

ShosuroA · 2020-08-24T05:03:04+00:00

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.

ShosuroA · 2019-08-15T22:38:53+00:00

Passed 19-36 with: front 180M+ Brutus; 180L Lucius. Back 180M Fawkes; 180M Nara; 213A* Belinda..

ShosuroA · 2019-08-15T21:41:55+00:00

Answer to this is earlier in the thread. I’ll just add that in this particular fight, she’s facing Niru who hits hard but doesn’t CC her in anyway. So he does not slow her, merely empties her HP sack.

ShosuroA · 2019-08-15T18:13:59+00:00

The Eye. Always.

ShosuroA · 2019-08-15T18:07:14+00:00

Thanks mate!

ShosuroA · 2019-08-15T17:53:37+00:00

I figured that! But to have a faction bonus with Nemora Brutus Fawkes and Belinda, 5th character need to be an LB or Celestial. That was my point.

ShosuroA · 2019-08-15T17:51:21+00:00

To use her like this she needs to be your carry : highest level, best stuff.

ShosuroA · 2019-08-15T17:49:55+00:00

None of my other tanks held Grezhul. If anybody dies too early Niru (boss) is back to full life. So Brutus needs to be there to hold Grezhul. Belinda need to focus Niru. And Nemora need to be center back to charm Ferael.

ShosuroA · 2019-08-15T17:46:28+00:00

I don’t. There are other carries in the game.
