About Guile

Guile, Creature — elemental incarnation, designed by Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai first released in May, 2020 in the set Lorwyn and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 5.36. It's a key card in 1 combos.

Guile would be a great addition to a control deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides both evasion and a powerful counter spell ability. While it may be a bit costly to cast, its ability to potentially allow you to play countered spells for free can swing the game in your favor. However, there are other cards like Cryptic Command that offer more versatility and immediate impact, making them potentially better choices for competitive play.

Rules

10/01/07

A spell exiled this way was never actually countered.

10/01/07

Guile’s second ability replaces “counter [a certain spell]” with “exile [a certain spell] and you may cast it without paying its mana cost.” You have the option to cast it immediately upon its exile. If you choose not to, it remains exiled and you don’t get another chance to cast it. If the spell or ability that tried to counter the spell has additional effects, it then continues to resolve.

10/01/07

If the Incarnation had lost this ability while on the battlefield (due to Lignify, for example) and then was destroyed, the ability would still trigger and it would get shuffled into its owner’s library. However, if the Incarnation lost this ability when it was put into the graveyard (due to Yixlid Jailer, for example), the ability wouldn’t trigger and the Incarnation would remain in the graveyard.

10/01/07

The last ability triggers when the Incarnation is put into its owner’s graveyard from any zone, not just from on the battlefield.
