Hybrid Cards Explanation

New 30 May 2017 Asked by bobbymcbobbo 47 Comments

Even though hybrid cards can be cast with only a single colour, they aren't a single colour. When you have Balefire Liege on the battlefield and cast a Boros Reckoner, you get to bolt an opponent and gain 3 life, regardless of whether you're in a mono-white deck, mono-red deck, or a RW deck. Commander isn't about what cards you can cast, it's a deckbuilding restriction on colour identity, and Boros Reckoner is always Red and White, even if you're only planning to cast it with a single colour.


Color identity is about what colors are required to cast or activate you. There are plenty of cards that can become a color that is different from what cast them (Caldera Kavu, Kavu Chameleon, Painter’s Servant, Rainbow Crow, Scrapbasket, Spiritmonger,Wild Mongrel, etc.) that don’t require you playing a five-color commander.

Green Colour Changing

New 30 Jul 2016 Asked by somnomancer-deactivated20190915 23 Comments

Is "colour changing" still in Green's colour pie? (eg. Wild Mongrel and Spiritmonger)


We’ve greatly lessened color mattering so it’s not something we’ve had to address for a long time. Maybe.

Spiritmonger Creation Story

New 27 Jul 2016 Asked by dbhoover 33 Comments

I have been reading your blog for a couple years and this is my first birthday trivia question. Spiritmonger from apocalypse was the first rare card I really wanted to find when I first started playing. I have heard a rumor that it was a card created by the public somehow, Is this true? If so how can I get the story of how it happened? Thank you


The card wasn’t created by the public. The card concept (what it flavorfully represents) was. The card was then designed to match the audience’s concept. Happy Birthday! #WotCStaff

Creature Type Confusion

New 16 Jan 2014 Asked by urwurzl-blog-deactivated2019030 26 Comments

So why isn't Ragemonger a Monger? (And by the way, why isn't Spiritmonger?)


I think the better question is why is monger a type?

Why is Spiritmonger neither a Spirit nor a Monger?
