About Waking the Trolls

Waking the Trolls, Enchantment — saga, designed by Daniel Ljunggren first released in Jan, 2021 in the set Kaldheim and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.65.

This card would benefit a ramp or land destruction deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides a mix of land destruction, land recursion, and token generation. While Waking the Trolls offers a unique combination of effects, there are potentially more efficient cards available for each individual effect, such as Stone Rain for land destruction or Rampant Growth for ramp. However, the versatility of Waking the Trolls could make it a viable option in certain metagames or strategies, especially for players looking to surprise opponents with its diverse abilities.

Rules

02/05/21

A chapter ability doesn’t trigger if a lore counter is put on a Saga that already had a number of lore counters greater than or equal to that chapter’s number. For example, the third lore counter put on a Saga causes the chapter III ability to trigger, but chapters I and II won’t trigger again.

02/05/21

As a Saga enters the battlefield, its controller puts a lore counter on it. As your precombat main phase begins (immediately after your draw step), you put another lore counter on each Saga you control. Putting a lore counter on a Saga in either of these ways doesn’t use the stack.

02/05/21

If multiple chapter abilities trigger at the same time, their controller puts them on the stack in any order. If any of them require targets, those targets are chosen as you put the abilities on the stack, before any of those abilities resolve.

02/05/21

Once the number of lore counters on a Saga is greater than or equal to the greatest number among its chapter abilities, the Saga’s controller sacrifices it as soon as its chapter ability has left the stack, most likely by resolving or being countered. This state-based action doesn’t use the stack.
