🖋️ Curator's Notes

Read ahead (Choose a chapter and start with that many lore counters. Add one after your draw step. Skipped chapters don't trigger. Sacrifice after III.)

I — Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a creature or planeswalker card from it. That player discards that card.

II — Search your library for a card, put that card into your hand, then shuffle. You lose 3 life.

III — Put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control.

You must search your library as the chapter II ability resolves, and you will lose 3 life.

2022-09-09

As a Saga with read ahead enters the battlefield, its controller chooses a number from one to that Saga’s greatest chapter number. The Saga enters the battlefield with the chosen number of lore counters. Neither choosing the number nor putting the counters on the Saga use the stack, and neither can be responded to.
