Rulings
- 2005-10-01 · wotc — All creatures that share a color are affected, even your own.
- 2005-10-01 · wotc — 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.
- 2005-10-01 · wotc — A creature “shares a color” with any creature that is at least one of its colors. For example, a green-white creature shares a color with creatures that are green, white, green-white, red-white, black-green, and so on.
- 2005-10-01 · wotc — You check which creatures share a color with the target when the spell resolves.
