{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|Germ creation|U=1|G=1|A=13}} }} '''Germ''' is an exclusively [[black]] [[creature type]] with [[base power and toughness]] of 0, which only appears on [[token]]s.<ref>{{DailyRef|arcana/germ-charge-2011-03-08|The Germ in Charge|[[Monty Ashley]]|March 08, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{DailyRef|savor-flavor/germ-warfare-flavor-living-weapon-2011-06-01|Germ Warfare: The Flavor of Living Weapon|[[Doug Beyer]]|March 09, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{DailyRef|savor-flavor/six-secrets-behind-sets-2011-03-16|Six Secrets Behind the Sets|[[Doug Beyer]]|March 16, 2011}}</ref> ==History== Germs were introduced in ''[[Mirrodin Besieged]]'' and represent [[phyrexia]]n microorganisms carrying [[Phyresis]]. They are essentially analogous to the [[newts]] of Old Phyrexia. Germs are [[create]]d by [[living weapon]]s when they enter the battlefield, which the living weapon automatically attaches to. Thus, living weapons are themselves, creatures, until they die or their controller chooses to equip the living weapon to a different creature. Detaching the equipment will normally kill the Germ, as it would then be a 0/0 creature. <c>Grip of Phyresis</c> is a [[blue]] [[instant]] featured in ''[[Commander 2016]]'' that also makes use of this technique. With the release of ''[[Modern Horizons 2]]'', Germ tokens became [[Phyrexian]] Germ tokens instead. All effects that create Germ tokens received [[errata]] to instead create Phyrexian Germ tokens.<ref>{{DailyRef|articles/archive/news/oracle-changes-2021-06-18|Oracle Changes|[[Jess Dunks]]| June 18, 2021}}</ref> ==Tokens== {{Germ tokens|header=y}} ==References== {{reflist}} {{Creature types|Races}}
