About Staff of the Sun Magus

Staff of the Sun Magus, Artifact, designed by Daniel Ljunggren first released in Jul, 2013 in the set Magic 2014 and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.61.

This card would benefit a white-based control or lifegain deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides incremental life gain whenever you cast white spells or play Plains. While Staff of the Sun Magus can be useful in certain situations, there are potentially better cards like Ajani's Pridemate or Soul Warden that offer more immediate and impactful lifegain effects, making them more viable choices for competitive play.

Rules

07/18/14

Each of these artifacts cares about any land with the appropriate basic land type. For example, Staff of the Sun Magus’s ability triggers when any land with the subtype Plains enters the battlefield under your control, not just lands named Plains.

07/18/14

If you cast a copy of a card that’s a certain color, the appropriate Staff’s ability will trigger. However, if you copy a spell on the stack without casting that copy, it will not.
