About The Birth of Meletis

The Birth of Meletis, Enchantment — saga, designed by Tyler Jacobson first released in Dec, 2019 in the set Theros Beyond Death and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.05.

A deck focused on controlling the board and gaining incremental advantages over time, such as a white-based control or midrange deck, would benefit from including The Birth of Meletis. While this card provides some utility with card advantage, token generation, and life gain, there are potentially better options available depending on the specific strategy and format. Cards like Wall of Omens or Wall of Blossoms might offer more immediate impact or card draw, making them stronger choices in certain situations, but The Birth of Meletis could still see play in slower, more defensive decks looking to grind out value over the long term.

Rules

01/24/20

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 III chapter ability to trigger, but I and II won’t trigger again.

01/24/20

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.

01/24/20

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.

01/24/20

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.
