Hideous Taskmaster Rulings
- Jun 7, 2024 A card with devoid is just colorless. It's not colorless and the colors of mana in its mana cost.
- Jun 7, 2024 Annihilator abilities trigger and resolve during the declare attackers step. The defending player sacrifices the required number of permanents of their choice before they declare blockers. Any creatures sacrificed this way won't be able to block.
- Jun 7, 2024 Devoid doesn't affect the color identity of the card for the purposes of the Commander variant. For example, while Abstruse Appropriation is colorless because it has devoid, its color identity is still white and black, and it can't be included in a Commander deck where the commander's color identity doesn't include both white and black.
- Jun 7, 2024 Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.
- Jun 7, 2024 Hideous Taskmaster's second ability will resolve before Hideous Taskmaster does. If Hideous Taskmaster is countered or otherwise leaves the stack in response to that triggered ability, the triggered ability will still resolve as normal.
