About Calcite Snapper

Calcite Snapper, Creature — turtle, designed by David Palumbo first released in Feb, 2010 in the set Worldwake. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.35.

A deck that focuses on landfall triggers and tempo strategies would benefit from including Calcite Snapper, as it offers protection with shroud and the ability to switch its power and toughness for combat tricks. While Calcite Snapper can be a fun and versatile addition to such a deck, there may be better options available depending on the specific strategy, such as Tarmogoyf or Snapcaster Mage, which offer more immediate impact or versatility in gameplay. Overall, Calcite Snapper could see play in casual or budget decks looking for a unique and interactive creature option.

Rules

03/19/21

Effects that switch a creature’s power and toughness apply after all other effects, regardless of when those effects began to apply. For instance, if you target a 1/2 creature then give it +2/+0 later in the turn, it’s a 2/3 creature, not a 4/1 creature.

03/19/21

Switching a creature’s power and toughness twice (or any even number of times) effectively returns the creature to the power and toughness it had before any switches.

04/15/13

Effects that switch power and toughness apply after all other effects that change power and/or toughness, regardless of which effect was created first.

03/01/10

The landfall ability triggers whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control for any reason. It triggers whenever you play a land, as well as whenever a spell or ability (such as Rampant Growth) causes you to put a land onto the battlefield under your control. It will even trigger when a spell or ability causes another player to put a land onto the battlefield under your control (as can happen with Yavimaya Dryad’s ability, for example).
