About this card
Mana cost: {2}{B}{G}
Type: Legendary Creature — Snail Advisor
If you would draw a card, you may instead choose mana base, removal, or win condition and reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card of the chosen kind. Put that card into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. (Mana base cards add mana. Removal cards are instants and sorceries that can damage, destroy, or exile opposing permanents. Win conditions cost 6 or more mana.)

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my The Salubrious Philosopher is real?
The Salubrious Philosopher is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the print quality and cardstock (real cards have a distinctive blue inner core visible from the edge), the rosette pattern on the back, the security stamp on planeswalker / mythic cards from recent sets, and confirm the collector number and set code match the official Scryfall record. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
