Gyre Sage and +X/+X spells
Asked by kapow20 12 years ago
If I have Gyre Sage in play and cast Titanic Growth , Phytoburst or any spell that will increase its stats with +1/+1's and then tap for Gyre Sage ability would I get mana of 1xG for the sage's basic power orn would I get 4-5xG due to the spells effect.
In basic, do spells like titanic growth and phytoburst place +1/+1 counters till end of turn?
well thats just burned half of my deck planning. was hoping to create mana from powering the sage up with spells and tapping for loads of mana to have a super fast aggro R/G deck

I mean the card even says "for each +1/+1 counter on this creature"

I wasnt sure if the spells cause counters to be on the creature for short term. Only just back to magic and getting into the rules again and the little details.

So you know, an effect only gives/uses counters if it specifically says so. A card like Blessings of Nature would help you do what you're trying to do here.

They do not. They are just temporary boosts, whereas +1/+1 counters are more or less permanent, and can be checked as different than power or toughness.
