  • Oct 1, 2005 All creatures that share a color are affected, even your own.
  • Oct 1, 2005 If it targets a colorless creature, it doesn’t affect any other creatures. A colorless creature shares a color with nothing, not even other colorless creatures.
  • Oct 1, 2005 Only one creature is targeted. If that creature leaves the battlefield or otherwise becomes an illegal target, the entire spell doesn’t resolve. No other creatures are affected.
  • Oct 1, 2005 You check which creatures share a color with the target when the spell resolves.
