Wrenn and Seven

Name Changing

Can I use Truss, Chief Engineer to turn Wrenn and Six into Wrenn and Seven? Does that change the properties of what the card can do?

You can do it. It changes its name, but that has minimal mechanical meaning other than it lets you cast a second one and avoids things like Pithing Needle.

Wrenn and Seven Mono Green

Is it safe to say the only reason wrenn and seven is mono green is because arlinn was the other Planeswalker in the set and she got dibs on red green?

That was part of it. Wrenn is core green.

Wrenn and Seven Card Rules

Hey Mark! The new Wrenn and Seven emblem grants no maximum hand size even though it's mono green and also lets you return permanents from your graveyard to your hand. Is this a bend AND a break? Since graveyard recursion is usually black and unlimited hand size is blue

Green is number one at returning any kind of card to your hand (and it goes all the way back to Regrowth in Alpha). Unlimited hand size is a bend, but this isn’t even the first time green got it.

Inconsistency in Change of Rules

"Just as Sleight of Mind can’t turn a Black Knight into a Blue Knight, More or Less can’t turn Wrenn and Seven into Wrenn and Six. It only affects rules text." More or Less doesn't say "change the text" though, and this directly disagrees with one of the rulings which states "You can change power or toughness. If you change a toughness of 1 to 0, the creature will probably die." despite P/T not being part of a cards rules text.

One of my guidelines of being the Un-Rules Manager is I try very hard not to contradict black border rules when things line up. I want as much consistency between the Un and non-Un rules as possible. Sleight of Mind and Magical Hack clearly established that they can only affect rules text and not names (why you can’t Sleight a Black Knight into a Blue Knight). When changing power/toughness came up, it didn’t have a straight parallel, so I allowed it as it had a big rules application.

Use of More or Less Card

Un-rules question: Can I use More or Less on Wrenn and Six/seven to change that number? And if so, can I use it against an opponent with both wrenns out to make them sacrifice one due to the legend rule?
