Overview

Gift of the Wise is an epic spell that gives you extra mana, as long as you can afford its initial price. The amount of mana gained can be upgraded when it is leveled up. Gift of the Wise fits well into control and ramp decks.

Strategies

Gift of the Wise can be used to get your higher cost units on the board on earlier turns.

• Since Gift of the Wise gives you free mana, it is important for some decks to cast it as early as possible. You can do this by either playing mana gain cards like Frozen Core or Archdruid Earyn.
• High cost cards such as Crazy Bombers or Olf the Hammer are great cards to play early with Gift of the Wise.
• You can also use the extra mana to fuel Lady Rime or Visions of the Grove's ability.
• In order to spend all the extra mana more efficiently, you can use Freebooters to draw more cards.
