Cards that Hate on Specific Colors

Commander Deck Help forum

Posted on July 8, 2017, 10:54 a.m. by RazortoothMtg

I'm looking to compile a list or something of every card that specifically hates a color out. Things like Northern Paladin / Southern Paladin / Eastern Paladin / Western Paladin , Choke, Virtue's Ruin , Flashfires, Boil, Stench of Evil etc. Thanks in advance!

Iona, Shield of Emeria comes to mind.

Gideon's Defeat, Jace's Defeat, Liliana's Defeat, Chandra's Defeat, Nissa's Defeat, though those are in HOU, so I don't know if you want them included just yet.

I'd recommend going to Gatherer and setting the search bar to look for each color and basic land type, one a a time, in card texts. It's pretty easy, though a bit time consuming, but it's going to be much more effective than asking people for cards off the top of their head.

might be easier if you filter that list a bit (otherwise its just an endless search on card databases with basic lands, colors and "destroy"...etc as keywords)

are you just looking to build a database or looking for a specific kind of hate in specific specific colors?

do cards like Invoke Prejudice/Mass Calcify(non-color), Wake of Destruction/Story Circle(choice), Filigree Fracture(hate bonus) count?

or just ones like Volcanic Eruption, Cryoclasm, Reign of Chaos, Display of Dominance, Nature's Ruin, Perish, Reign of Terror, Cleanse, Dark Betrayal or Exorcist

Gloom is certainly one of the meanest cards in black, next to Dystopia. The only problem with colour hate is that you either need to be sure that at least one opponent will always play that colour, or that colour poses a very big threat to your overall strategy. In my green aggro deck and in my gitrog monster I play Choke because I have a bad time against too many counterspells and all that gain control of something crap. I wouldn't need anything against red or white there because it's not that bad for me to justify a slot for colour hate.

Dream Tides shuts down green well enough.

Iona, Shield of Emeria + Mirror Gallery + Rite of Replication, or Progenitor Mimic.

Any permanent copy effect, really, with Iona and Mirror Gallery.
