Abstruse Appropriation Rulings
5 most recent
- 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 Abstruse Appropriation doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a creature card without flash, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.
- 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 If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object's color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.
