About Wayward Swordtooth

Wayward Swordtooth, Creature — dinosaur, designed by Chris Rahn first released in Jan, 2018 in the set Rivals of Ixalan Promos and was printed exactly in 8 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Brawl. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of £ 1.73.

A deck that focuses on ramping up mana quickly and controlling the board would benefit from including Wayward Swordtooth, as it allows for playing additional lands each turn, accelerating mana production. However, there are arguably better cards for similar effects like Azusa, Lost but Seeking, which allows playing two additional lands each turn without the requirement of the city's blessing. Whether Wayward Swordtooth should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, as it can be a strong addition in the right context.

Rules

01/19/18

A permanent is any object on the battlefield, including tokens and lands. Spells and emblems aren’t permanents.

01/19/18

Ascend on a permanent isn’t a triggered ability and doesn’t use the stack. Players can respond to a spell that will give you your tenth permanent, but they can’t respond to getting the city’s blessing once you control that tenth permanent. This means that if your tenth permanent is a land you play, players can’t respond before you get the city’s blessing.

01/19/18

If you control ten permanents but don’t control a permanent or resolving spell with ascend, you don’t get the city’s blessing. For example, if you control ten permanents, lose control of one, then cast Golden Demise, you won’t have the city’s blessing and the spell will affect creatures you control.

01/19/18

Wayward Swordtooth’s middle ability is cumulative if you control more than one. It’s also cumulative with other effects that let you play additional lands, such as the one from Enter the Unknown.
