    Rules

  • If Sage of Fables enters at the same time as another Wizard (due to Living End, for example), that creature doesn't get a +1/+1 counter.
  • If a Wizard would normally enter with a certain number of +1/+1 counters on it, it enters with that many +1/+1 counters plus one on it instead. If a Wizard would normally enter with no +1/+1 counters on it, it enters with one +1/+1 counter on it instead.
  • The creature gets the counter if it would enter under your control. It doesn't matter who owns the creature or what zone it enters from (such as your opponent's graveyard, for example).
  • The effects from more than one Sage of Fables are cumulative. That is, if you have two Sage of Fables on the battlefield, Wizard creatures you control enter with two additional +1/+1 counters on them.

  • If Vedalken Shackles becomes untapped before its ability resolves, you won’t gain control of the creature.
  • If Vedalken Shackles leaves the battlefield, it’s no longer tapped, so the control-changing effect ends.
  • The creature’s power and the number of Islands you control matter only when the ability is activated and when it resolves. After that, only the fact that Vedalken Shackles remains tapped matters. If the creature stops being a creature, you’ll keep control of it.
