Colossus of Akros

Artifact Creature — Golem MV 8

Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.

What it does

Defender, indestructible

10: Monstrosity 10. (If this creature isn't monstrous, put ten +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes monstrous.)

As long as this creature is monstrous, it has trample and can attack as though it didn't have defender.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2013-09-15

    Monstrous isn't an ability that a creature has. It's just something true about that creature. If the creature stops being a creature or loses its abilities, it will continue to be monstrous.

  • 2013-09-15

    Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can't become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens.

  • 2013-09-15

    Colossus of Akros doesn't lose defender when it's monstrous. It's just able to attack.

  • 2013-09-15

    An ability that triggers when a creature becomes monstrous won't trigger if that creature isn't on the battlefield when its monstrosity ability resolves.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Colossus of Akros

1 printing, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly. A printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Colossus of Akros. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
