About Jwar Isle Avenger

Jwar Isle Avenger, Creature — sphinx, designed by Ryan Pancoast first released in Jan, 2016 in the set Oath of the Gatewatch and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 20.49.

The Jwar Isle Avenger would be beneficial in a tempo or control deck that aims to cast multiple spells in a turn to take advantage of its surge ability. While it provides a decent flying threat, there are potentially better options for the same mana cost in competitive Magic: the Gathering formats, such as Snapcaster Mage or Vendilion Clique. However, in a limited or casual setting, the Avenger could still see play as a versatile and evasive creature.

Rules

01/22/16

For some cards, surge represents only an alternative cost, a discount that applies if you or a teammate has cast another spell this turn. Other cards, like Reckless Bushwhacker, have additional abilities or effects if you paid the surge cost to cast the spell.

01/22/16

If an instant or sorcery spell cast for its surge cost is copied, the copy is also considered to have had its surge cost paid.
