The ten-second pick check

4 questions

Ask them in this order.

What kind of spell does this cast?

Equipment is a noncreature spell that can supply a Hero. Saga creatures are creature spells, so they do not trigger noncreature-cast rewards.

Can I afford its later use?

Count equip, flashback, transform or Adventure costs as well as the initial cast. A powerful Equipment can sit unused if moving it costs the whole turn.

Do I need bodies, mana or a payoff?

Prefer job-select bodies, early creatures or land search when they complete the deck. A second narrow engine does not supply missing support.

Will the resource still be there?

A Saga can leave before combat and a returned land can delay your next spell. Check the actual sequence before treating that future turn as guaranteed.

What job does this card do?

White Auracite

Answers

White Auracite

Exiles a nonland permanent while adding a white mana source. The threat returns if Auracite leaves, so sacrificing it for value can undo your removal.

Combat Tutorial

Combat Tutorial

Draw two cards while adding a counter to a creature if you have a useful target. With no creature target it still draws; when you do target a creature, losing that target does not stop the still-legal player from drawing.

Town Greeter

Enablers

Town Greeter

Find a land among the four milled cards while filling the graveyard. Taking a Town gains life, but the land goes to hand rather than directly onto the battlefield.

All mechanics →

Equipment can supply the creature too

Job select makes Equipment useful in creature and noncreature plans, but its Hero is not an artifact. Count the Equipment once for artifact entries.

Pay for the mode your board needs

Tiered spells offer several costs. The printed mana value stays the same, while Shantotto and The Emperor check what you actually spent on the triggering spell.

Know when the summon leaves

A Saga creature’s final chapter usually arrives before combat. Plan the next threat before that body disappears and keep normal transform separate from exile-and-return.
