Rulings

9 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2015-08-25

    Eldrazi and Scion are each separate creature types. Anything that affects Eldrazi will affect these tokens, for example.

  • 2015-08-25

    Eldrazi Scions are similar to Eldrazi Spawn, seen in the Zendikar block. Note that Eldrazi Scions are 1/1, not 0/1.

  • 2015-08-25

    Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid color. If that happens, it's just the new color, not that color and colorless.

  • 2015-08-25

    Cards with devoid use frames that are variations of the transparent frame traditionally used for Eldrazi. The top part of the card features some color over a background based on the texture of the hedrons that once imprisoned the Eldrazi. This coloration is intended to aid deckbuilding and game play.

  • 2015-08-25

    Sacrificing an Eldrazi Scion creature token to add is a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.

  • 2015-08-25

    If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object's color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.

  • 2015-08-25

    Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.

  • 2015-08-25

    A card with devoid is just colorless. It's not colorless and the colors of mana in its mana cost.

  • 2015-08-25

    Some instants and sorceries that create Eldrazi Scions require targets. If all targets for such a spell have become illegal by the time that spell tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't get any Eldrazi Scions.
