About Thought Gorger

Thought Gorger, Creature — horror, designed by Jason Felix first released in Apr, 2010 in the set Rise of the Eldrazi. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.29.

Thought Gorger would be most beneficial in a deck that focuses on card draw and discarding, such as a Black-Blue reanimator deck or a Rakdos discard-themed deck. While the potential to scale its power with hand size is interesting, there are likely better options like Tombstalker or Gurmag Angler in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. However, Thought Gorger could still see play in casual or themed decks for a fun and unique gameplay experience.

Rules

06/15/10

As Thought Gorger’s first ability resolves, putting a +1/+1 counter on it for each card in your hand is mandatory. The effect says “if you do” because performing that action might be impossible. If Thought Gorger has left the battlefield by the time the ability resolves, you can’t put any +1/+1 counters on it, so you won’t discard your hand.

Once an ability starts to resolve, it’s too late to respond to it. For example, you can’t count a card in your hand while determining how many +1/+1 counters Thought Gorger gets and then cast it in response. If a card is counted, it’ll be discarded.
