Character Background
Sage of Days is a compact 3/2 for {2}{U} that functions as both a modest early threat and a reliable card-selection engine: when it enters you pick the one card you want to see next and bury the other two in your graveyard. That combination makes it best for value- and graveyard-focused plans and it also fits nicely into tempo shells that need a respectable body while advancing a longer game plan. Practically, it pairs extremely well with graveyard payoffs — Snapcaster Mage, Arclight Phoenix-style Izzet lists that care about instants and sorceries, or delve beaters like Gurmag Angler — because it consistently stocks the bin while preserving the top card you actually want. Deckbuilding tip: include a sweep of cheap instants/sorceries (6–10) and 2–4 graveyard payoffs, plus a couple of top-deck manipulators (Opt/Serum Visions-style) to maximize the usefulness of the card you choose to leave on top.
