Boreal Outrider

Boreal Outrider Rulings

• Feb 5, 2021

  A creature affected by Boreal Outrider’s triggered ability will enter with only one additional +1/+1 counter on it, even if you spent more than one snow mana of the appropriate color(s) to cast it.

• Feb 5, 2021

  If you control multiple Boreal Outriders, each of their triggered abilities will trigger separately. A creature could enter the battlefield with multiple +1/+1 counters on it this way, even if you spent only a single snow mana of the appropriate color(s) to cast the creature spell.

  Snow is a supertype, not a card type. It has no rules meaning or function by itself, but spells and abilities may refer to it.

• Feb 5, 2021

  Snow isn’t a type of mana. If an effect says you may spend mana as though it were any type, you can’t pay for {S} using mana that wasn’t produced by a snow source.

• Feb 5, 2021

  Some cards have additional effects for each {S} spent to cast them. You can cast these spells even if you don’t spend any snow mana to cast them; their additional effects simply won’t do anything.
