About Adaptive Snapjaw

Adaptive Snapjaw, Creature — lizard beast, designed by Tomasz Jedruszek first released in May, 2020 in the set Gatecrash and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 1.07.

Adaptive Snapjaw would be a strong addition to a Simic (Green/Blue) deck focused on creature synergy and +1/+1 counters, benefiting from the Evolve ability with a potential for growth. However, in a competitive setting, more efficient cards like Gyre Sage or Experiment One may be preferred due to their lower mana cost and stronger early-game presence. Adaptive Snapjaw could still see play in casual or budget decks looking to capitalize on creature growth and synergy.

Rules

04/15/13

If evolve triggers, the stat comparison will happen again when the ability tries to resolve. If neither stat of the new creature is greater, the ability will do nothing. If the creature that entered the battlefield leaves the battlefield before evolve tries to resolve, use its last known power and toughness to compare the stats.

04/15/13

If multiple creatures enter the battlefield at the same time, evolve may trigger multiple times, although the stat comparison will take place each time one of those abilities tries to resolve. For example, if you control a 2/2 creature with evolve and two 3/3 creatures enter the battlefield, evolve will trigger twice. The first ability will resolve and put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with evolve. When the second ability tries to resolve, neither the power nor the toughness of the new creature is greater than that of the creature with evolve, so that ability does nothing.

04/15/13

When comparing the stats of the two creatures for evolve, you always compare power to power and toughness to toughness.
