About Champion of Wits

Champion of Wits, Creature — snake wizard, designed by Even Amundsen first released in Jul, 2017 in the set Hour of Devastation Promos and was printed exactly in 10 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.10.

The Champion of Wits card could be beneficial in a control or midrange deck that focuses on card advantage and graveyard recursion strategies. While its ability to draw cards and filter the graveyard is useful, there may be better options available such as Snapcaster Mage or Jace, Vryn's Prodigy, which offer more versatile and immediate value. Whether Champion of Wits sees play would depend on the specific deck strategy and meta, but it could be a solid inclusion in the right build.

Rules

07/14/17

If a creature card with eternalize is put into your graveyard during your main phase, you’ll have priority immediately afterward. You can activate its eternalize ability before any player can try to exile it, such as with Crook of Condemnation, if it’s legal for you to do so.

07/14/17

If the card copied by the token had any “when [this permanent] enters the battlefield” abilities, then the token also has those abilities and will trigger them when it’s created. Similarly, any “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” or “[this permanent] enters the battlefield with” abilities that the token has copied will also work.

07/14/17

The token copies exactly what was printed on the original card and nothing else, except the characteristics specifically modified by eternalize. It doesn’t copy any information about the object the card was before it was put into your graveyard.

07/14/17

Use Champion of Wits’s power as the first ability resolves to determine if you want to use the ability and how many cards you draw if you do. If you use the ability, you discard two cards regardless of how many cards you draw. If Champion of Wits leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, use its last known power.
