Animating Artifacts Shift

New 11 Aug 2017 Asked by eternitieslibrarian 16 Comments

Is Xenic Poltergeist's effect (to animate an artifact on the table) still in black and if so, could black animate other permanents/enchantments? Also could red gain control of a permanent until end of turn?


Animating artifacts is no longer in black’s color pie. It’s a blue thing.

Alphabetical Card Naming

RE: Quarum Trench Gnomes trivia. They completed the cycle of cards starting with all letters of the alphabet.


Correct! Quarum Trench Gnomes was the first Magic card to ever start with a Q and it was the last letter to appear as the start of a card name. Xenic Poltergeist had gotten X in the previous set.

"What card was the last to be printed such that a Magic card existed with an English name that started with each letter of the alphabet?" Not sure if I understood the question right, but was it "Quagmire" from Legends?


The correct answer was either Quagmire or Quarum Trench Gnomes, both from Legends. Q was the last letter. X had been done in Antiquities with Xenic Poltergeist.
