You can remove all +1\/+1 counters from Sage of Hours, and for every five counters removed, you take an extra turn. \u003cem\u003eSage of Hours\u003c\/em\u003e is primarily a combo piece. While it never broke into competitive formats, it became a known card in Commander (EDH) due to its ability to generate infinite turns. It’s a combo finisher in blue or Simic decks that can repeatedly target it or produce huge numbers of counters. It synergizes with spellslinger strategies (Heroic), and because it only costs 2 mana it’s easy to include. \u003cem\u003eSage of Hours\u003c\/em\u003e is played with commanders that can go infinite or near-infinite turns with \u003cem\u003eSage\u003c\/em\u003e, like \u003cem\u003eEzuri, Claw of Progress\u003c\/em\u003e (put 5+ counters each turn, take infinite turns), \u003cem\u003eVorel of the Hull Clade\u003c\/em\u003e (doubles counters, easy to hit 5 repeatedly), Animar, Soul of Elements (counter growth + protection), and The First Sliver (Heroic Cascade builds).
