About Gyre Sage

Gyre Sage, Creature — elf druid, designed by Tyler Jacobson first released in May, 2020 in the set Gatecrash 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 3.17.

The Gyre Sage card would benefit a deck focused on ramping up mana quickly, especially in a green-based deck with a lot of creatures entering the battlefield. While Gyre Sage can generate a significant amount of mana with its ability, there are potentially better mana ramp options available, such as Llanowar Elves or Elvish Mystic, which provide immediate mana without requiring additional setup. Gyre Sage could see play in decks looking to generate a large amount of mana over time, but may not be as efficient as other options available.

Rules

04/15/13

If a creature enters the battlefield with +1/+1 counters on it, consider those counters when determining if evolve will trigger. For example, a 1/1 creature that enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it will cause the evolve ability of a 2/2 creature to trigger.

04/15/13

When comparing the stats as the evolve ability resolves, it’s possible that the stat that’s greater changes from power to toughness or vice versa. If this happens, the ability will still resolve and you’ll put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with evolve. For example, if you control a 2/2 creature with evolve and a 1/3 creature enters the battlefield under your control, it toughness is greater so evolve will trigger. In response, the 1/3 creature gets +2/-2. When the evolve trigger tries to resolve, its power is greater. You’ll put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with evolve.

04/15/13

Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, check its power and toughness against the power and toughness of the creature with evolve. If neither stat of the new creature is greater, evolve won’t trigger at all.

Gyre Sage’s last ability is a mana ability. It doesn’t use the stack and can’t be responded to.
