About Keruga, the Macrosage

Keruga, the Macrosage, Legendary creature — dinosaur hippo, designed by Dan Murayama Scott first released in Apr, 2020 in the set Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths and was printed exactly in 12 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.94.

A deck that focuses on ramping up mana quickly and playing high-value permanents would benefit from using Keruga, the Macrosage as a companion, as it rewards you for having a board full of mana-intensive cards. While Keruga can be a powerful card draw engine in the right deck, there may be better options depending on the specific strategy and format, such as Prime Speaker Vannifar in a creature-heavy deck or Tatyova, Benthic Druid in a ramp and landfall-focused deck. Ultimately, Keruga should see play in decks that can reliably meet its deck-building restrictions and take advantage of its card draw ability.

Rules

06/01/20

If you reveal a companion outside the game, for as long as it remains there, you may pay any time you could cast a sorcery (that is, you have priority during your main phase and the stack is empty). Once you do, you put it into your hand and behaves like any other card you’ve brought into the game. For example, if it’s discard, countered, or destroyed, it’s put into your graveyard, remaining in the game. This is a change from previous rules.

04/17/20

If a card in a player’s deck or a permanent on the battlefield has in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

04/17/20

The companion’s other abilities apply only if the creature is on the battlefield. They have no effect while the companion is outside the game.

04/17/20

The requirements of the companion ability apply only to your starting deck. They do not apply to your sideboard.

04/17/20

You may have one companion in the Commander variant. Your deck, including your commander, must meet its companion requirement. Your companion is not one of your one hundred cards.

04/17/20

Your companion begins the game outside the game. In tournament play, this means your sideboard. In casual play, it’s simply a card you own that’s not in your starting deck.
