{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|W=5|U=3|B=3|R=3|G=4|UR=1}} as of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' }} '''Incarnation''' is a [[creature type]] that first appeared in ''[[Judgement]]''. <c>Personal Incarnation</c> from ''[[Alpha]]'' gained the subtype retroactively. ==Description== Incarnation literally means embodied in flesh or taking on flesh. It refers to the conception and birth of a sentient creature which is the material manifestation of a [[force]] or concept whose original nature is immaterial. ==History== ===Judgement cycle=== Each of these creatures costs 3N and has a static ability that grants all of your creatures an in-color ability as long as it is in your graveyard and you control a land with the associated basic land type. *{{card|Valor||JUD}} ({{W}}, [[first strike]]) *{{card|Wonder||JUD}} ({{U}}, [[flying]]) *{{card|Filth||JUD}} ({{B}}, [[swampwalk]]) *{{card|Anger||JUD}} ({{R}}, [[haste]]) *{{card|Brawn||JUD}} ({{G}}, [[trample]]) <c>Genesis</c> and <c>Glory</c> are incarnations with similar abilities in that their abilities only function while they are in the graveyard, but are not part of the [[cycle]]. ===Lorwyn cycle=== Inspired by the original cycle, ''[[Lorwyn]]'' had a cycle of [[rare]] [[Elemental]] Incarnations which grant their controllers a powerful effect. In direct contrast to the ''Judgement'' cycle, however, the Lorwyn incarnations each have a triggered ability that shuffles them back into their owner's library should they enter the graveyard. Each has a mana cost of 3NNN. *{{card|Purity||LRW}} ({{W}}) *{{card|Guile||LRW}} ({{U}}) *{{card|Dread||LRW}} ({{B}}) *{{card|Hostility||LRW}} ({{R}}) *{{card|Vigor||LRW}} ({{G}}) ===Modern Horizons 2 cycle=== Inspired by previous cycles, ''[[Modern Horizons 2]]'' had a cycle of [[mythic]] Incarnations, but they have [[evoke]]. Like the ''Lorwyn'' cycle, they are also [[Elemental]]s. *{{card|Solitude||MH2}} ({{W}}) *{{card|Subtlety||MH2}} ({{U}}) *{{card|Grief||MH2}} ({{B}}) *{{card|Fury||MH2}} ({{R}}) *{{card|Endurance||MH2}} ({{G}}) ===Universes Beyond=== ''[[Doctor Who]]'' introduces the first [[multicolored]] Incarnation for [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Idris Idris], the physical embodiment of the [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/TARDIS_matrix TARDIS matrix] in a [[human]] body. *<c>Idris, Soul of the TARDIS</c> ({{U}}{{R}}) ==Trivia== *The Incarnation cycle in Judgment were called "Jedi" during design in reference to the quote spoken by the character Obi-Wan Kenobi in the film ''Star Wars: Episode IV β A New Hope'', "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."<ref>{{DailyRef|making-magic/through-riftstone-2002-05-13|Through the Riftstone|[[Mark Rosewater]]]]|May 13, 2002}}</ref><ref>{{DailyRef|arcana/sketches-genesis-2002-07-04|Sketches: Genesis|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|July 4, 2002}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} {{Creature types|Races}}
