Sage of Shaila's Claim card art
Sage of Shaila's Claim enters and puts three energy counters in your pocket — straightforward, immediate, no strings attached. The floor is a 2/1 for two mana that replaces itself with a resource; the ceiling is a Wulfgar of Icewind Dale trigger that doubles that haul to six energy on a single attack.

Sage of Shaila's Claim is bulk filler in every competitive format — energy isn't a dominant mechanic in Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer, and a 2/1 body goes nowhere in those environments. Pauper is the one exception worth noting: energy synergies at common are narrow but real, and a guaranteed three counters on entry at least clears a functional bar. Commander is where Sage of Shaila's Claim finds its actual home, specifically in dedicated energy builds where each counter matters and the attack-trigger doubling from enablers pushes its ceiling up meaningfully.

Price Context

Current price

$0.12 bulk tier

At $0.12, Sage of Shaila's Claim sits firmly in bulk — you're not buying it for value, you're buying it because your energy deck needs the density. It will not hold or gain monetary value, but at this price point that's irrelevant; you acquire it for the effect and move on.
