Color Pie Exceptions

New 17 Sep 2023 Asked by joscis 27 Comments

Hi! I was reading your mechanical color pie 2021 article and you mention in it that you (almost) never make multicolor cards with an ability that is tertiary in one of its colors if the other color doesn’t have access to that ability. That made me wonder if the recent Glissa Sunslayer (BG first strike) and upcoming Weeping Angel (BU first strike) are a softening of this rule, a sign that first strike is being granted to more colors or just two of the rare exceptions. Thanks for looking at my question!


We make exceptions. It’s not the sign of a big change.
