{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|W=1|U=2|B=1|R=2|G=1}} as of ''[[Saviors of Kamigawa]]'' }} '''Zubera''' (ZOO-beh-rah)<ref name="Glossary 1">{{DailyRef|arcana/kamigawa-glossary-part-1-2004-09-14|A Kamigawa Glossary, Part 1|[[Magic Arcana]]|September 14, 2004}}</ref> is [[creature type]] unique to the ''[[Kamigawa block]]''.<ref>{{DailyRef|truth-fantasy-2005-03-07|Truth in Fantasy|Alex Smith|March 07, 2005}}</ref> A Zubera is the faceless [[kami]] of a [[human]] who has been pulled into the spirit world. Zubera are said to attack solitary travelers in order to steal their faces. In fact, Zubera is essentially a species of [[Spirit]]s. No Zubera is printed without the Spirit type. ==Kamigawa== The type first surfaced as a [[cycle]] in the set ''[[Champions of Kamigawa]]''. Each of these [[common]] 1/2 creatures costs {{1}}M and has a triggered ability when it goes to the [[graveyard]] that grows with each Zubera put into a graveyard from play that [[turn]]. There's one for each color: * <c>Silent-Chant Zubera</c> ({{W}}) * <c>Floating-Dream Zubera</c> ({{U}}) * <c>Ashen-Skin Zubera</c> ({{B}}) * <c>Ember-Fist Zubera</c> ({{R}}) * <c>Dripping-Tongue Zubera</c> ({{G}}) ''[[Saviors of Kamigawa]]'' added two mirrored 3/3 [[uncommon]] creatures for {{2}}MM with an ability that triggers if they go to the graveyard from play after being dealt four damage or more that turn. *<c>Burning-Eye Zubera</c> ({{R}}) *<c>Rushing-Tide Zubera</c> ({{U}}) ==Trivia== * Zubera is a corruption of ''[[Wikipedia:Noppera-bō|Noppera-bō]]'', the term for the Japanese [[Wikipedia:Yōkai|yokai]] that inspired these creatures. * The creative team made Zubera an additional creature type (alongside Spirit) so that they could key off of type when they died.<ref>{{DailyRef|five-small-spirits-2004-10-15|Five Small Spirits|[[Aaron Forsythe]]|October 15, 2004}}</ref> * A giant Dripping-Tongue Zubera is depicted in <c>Unchecked Growth</c>. * The names of the Zubera don't link directly to the [[Shrine]]s (like the [[Myojin]] do), but the connection still comes through with their abilities. * The Zubera were made as a [[Kindle]] variant that went on creatures and only counted other Zubera that died the same turn as it did.<ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/182164465508/its-my-birthday-today-the-20th-can-i-get-some|title=Can I get some sweet Zubera trivia?|January 20, 2019}}</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Creature types|Races}}
