About Jade Statue

Jade Statue, Artifact, designed by Dan Frazier first released in May, 2020 in the set Limited Edition Alpha and was printed exactly in 9 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.61.

A deck that focuses on controlling the board and stalling the game would benefit from using Jade Statue, as it provides a versatile threat that can switch between being a defensive artifact and an offensive creature. However, there are better options available such as Karn, Scion of Urza or Walking Ballista which offer more utility and flexibility in various situations. While Jade Statue may have niche applications, it may not see regular play in competitive decks due to its limited impact compared to other options available.

Rules

09/20/13

If Jade Statue is animated by some other effect, you get an artifact creature with whatever power, toughness, and creature types (if any) are specified by that effect. If you subsequently use Jade Statue’s ability during combat, it will become 3/6 and gain the creature type Golem in addition to those creature types until end of combat.

08/01/05

If Jade Statue’s ability has been activated, abilities that trigger “at end of combat” will see Jade Statue as an artifact creature.

10/04/04

It can only make itself into a creature during combat phases and therefore it is difficult to get Auras placed on it.
