Sage of Ancient Lore's power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards in your hand. When this creature enters, draw a card. At the beginning of each upkeep, if no spells were cast last turn, transform this creature.

    If you have no cards in hand after Sage of Ancient Lore enters the battlefield, it will be put into your graveyard before its first triggered ability resolves. You'll draw a card, but Sage of Ancient Lore will already be gone.

  • WotCApr 8, 2016

    The abilities that transform a Werewolf back and forth look at the entire previous turn, even if the Werewolf with that ability wasn't on the battlefield for some or all of that turn.

  • WotCApr 8, 2016

    To trigger the Werewolf's back face's transform ability, a single player must have cast two or more spells during the previous turn. If multiple players each cast just one spell during the previous turn, the ability won't trigger.
