Rulings
- 2015-08-25 · wotc — Sacrificing Smothering Abomination will cause its last ability to trigger.
- 2015-08-25 · wotc — If Smothering Abomination is the only creature you control as its first triggered ability resolves, you must sacrifice it.
- 2015-08-25 · wotc — 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.
- 2015-08-25 · wotc — A card with devoid is just colorless. It's not colorless and the colors of mana in its mana cost.
- 2015-08-25 · wotc — 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.
- 2015-08-25 · wotc — You choose which creature you control to sacrifice as the first triggered ability resolves. Players can respond to this ability triggering, but once you choose a creature to sacrifice, it's too late for anyone to respond.
- 2015-08-25 · wotc — Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid color. If that happens, it's just the new color, not that color and colorless.
- 2015-08-25 · wotc — Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.
