Returned Phalanx

Theros Cards Insights

So today is my birthday and I was wondering if you had anything you could share about my fave limited cards from theros, Returned Phalanx and Shipwreck Singer?

Shipwrecked Singer came about because we realized that Sirens had two defining qualities - they lured people and they killed them. We realized we could do the first in blue as forced attack and the second in black as a withering effect on attackers. We purposefully only put a tap on the black ability so you could use them together and lure creatures to their death. Perfect black and blue card. Happy Birthday!

Creature Count Nuances

Do creatures with 0 power but not defender (Yoked Ox) count towards creature count? How about creatures with defender which can attack (Returned Phalanx)?

0 power creatures can go both directions depending on the set it’s in. In Theros, with tons of ways to build it up, a 0 power creature would count, for example. Creatures with defender that have a way to attack do count for the creature cap.
