Hurricane

On Spells and Green Color

Are bite spells that can hit players in-pie for green? Obviously they're in-pie for red... Also on the topic of green spells hitting players (though largely an unrelated question), spells like Hurricane. Which is the bigger issue with them: Hitting players unconditionally being out-of-pie for green, or the "killing everyone" gameplay issue? I assume those are both significant.

They are not in pie for green.

Hurricane's Color Pie Status

As I understand it, due to dealing direct damage to players, cards such as hurricane or squall line shouldn't be in pie anymore yes? Or does green get this one specific symmetrical player sweep.

No, Hurricane is no longer in pie for green.

Green Color Pie Examination

Is Tsunami still in Greens color pie? I realize power level is too high for Standard and the move from mass land destruction also pushes it further away. But just from a color pie perspective. The same question with Ice Storm, Thermokarst, Fallow Earth, Kudzu and the destroy non creature permanent cards?

No, green can’t do damage to players. It still can damage fliers though. EDIT: Oops, I was thinking of Hurricane. Green can still destroy lands, so destroying islands is in color pie. Being in color pie, doesn’t mean we’ll print it though.

Hurricane in Modern Green's Pie

Hi Mark, is Hurricane a break or a bend in modern Green's color pie?

A break. We don’t let green do direct damage to players.

Disallowed: Green Direct Damage

Can green still get the hurricane effect where it does damage to all players and flyers?

No, green can’t hit players with direct damage any more.
