5 most recent
  • Aug 25, 2015 A card with devoid is just colorless. It’s not colorless and the colors of mana in its mana cost.
  • Aug 25, 2015 A creature doesn’t necessarily have to be dealt lethal damage by Serpentine Spike to be exiled. After being dealt damage, if it would die for any reason that turn, it’ll be exiled instead.
  • Aug 25, 2015 Cards with devoid use frames that are variations of the transparent frame traditionally used for Eldrazi. The top part of the card features some color over a background based on the texture of the hedrons that once imprisoned the Eldrazi. This coloration is intended to aid deckbuilding and game play.
  • Aug 25, 2015 Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.
  • Aug 25, 2015 Each target must be a different creature. You can’t cast Serpentine Spike without three different creatures available.
