About Saiba Cryptomancer
Saiba Cryptomancer, Creature — moonfolk ninja, designed by Aaron J. Riley first released in April 2023 in the set March of the Machine. It see play in 2 formats: Pauper and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.21.
Saiba Cryptomancer would be a valuable addition to a tempo-oriented blue deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides both flash and hexproof, allowing for surprise plays and protection for key creatures. While it offers versatility with the Backup 1 ability, there may be better options like Mist-Cloaked Herald or Ninja of the Deep Hours that provide more consistent value in such a deck. Saiba Cryptomancer could see play in specific situations where the Backup ability can be maximized, but overall, it may not be a staple card in competitive decks.

Rules
04/14/2023
Backup confers only abilities that are actually printed below it. Any abilities that are gained by the permanent are ignored, including abilities gained due to a resolving spell or ability or copy effects.
04/14/2023
If a backup ability causes another creature to gain abilities, the creature with backup will still have those abilities.
04/14/2023
If a backup ability targets the creature with backup, that creature will get +1/+1 counters, but it won’t gain additional abilities.
04/14/2023
If a permanent enters the battlefield as a copy of a card with a backup ability or a token is created that is a copy of that card, the order of the printed abilities is maintained.
04/14/2023
The abilities that backup grants to the target creature are determined only once, at the time the ability triggers. They won’t change if the permanent with backup loses any abilities before the backup ability resolves.
