Title: Flipped Color question
Post by: Gorzo on May 31, 2012, 03:56:43 PM
So I know that a card's color is determined by its mana cost unless the card says otherwise. I also know that flipped flip cards have no CMC for the purpose of stuff like {Ratchet Bomb}. So...

What determines a flipped flip card's color? They do not state on the card "{Lord of lineage} is black." or "{Terror of Kruin Pass} is red." Is there a rule somewhere that states a flipped card's color is determined by its un flipped side's CMC? 

And here's the kicker that got me thinking about this. What of {Unhallowed Cathar}? Sure, the border of his card is black, but what possibly makes him black? It states nowhere on the card that he is a black creature, and the day side CMC is white if that is a factor. So is he really black? Immune to the {doom blade}, and black if given intimidate?

Or am I completely over-thinking this and the color of the border of the cards is the new official updated text for saying "this card is (color)."

Yeah I think you're over thinking it but it's be nice if someone could explain this in detail

{Ravager of the Fells}
The colored dot next to where it says creature and that creatures type. So like to the right of
💊Creature - Werewolf (Ravager)
🎱Creature - Zombie Soldier (unhallowed cathar)

Does that help?

Aha. Never noticed that dot, and probably never would have. Thanks!
