Blatant Thievery

Blue's Theft Abilities in EDH

New 29 Nov 2020 Asked by honor-basquiat 45 Comments

Hello Mark, just a note regarding blue theft, the fact that CMC on theft spells hardly matters at all in Commander, the most popular and most played constructed format. Cards like Blatant Thievery and Agent of Treachery are incredibly powerful. We understand theft effects are grandfathered in blue, but please acknowledge that it's incorrect to say "blue can't permanently answer threats that have already resolved". Blue can unconditionally answer (and steal) any permanent type.


That’s not what I said. I said Blue can’t destroy things. Blue can change them, copy them, lock them disn , and yes, steal them. Blue has many ways to interact with permanents. It can’t destroy them.
