Color changer
Jump to navigation

Color changers are effects or spells that change a spell or permanent to a particular color (mostly until end of turn). Note that the color-changing effects are not the same as the subtype of text-changing effects. Blue is the primary color of changing the color of other things. Green can change itself. And white and black can make things their own color.[1][2] As R&D has lessened the number of effects that care about color, this ability isn't used much these days.[3]
