A question for the judges out there...
Asked by Free_Iona 4 years ago
I have a question surrounding the colour identity of cards such as Cut / Ribbons and Driven / Despair ; Namely their interaction with Niv-Mizzet Reborn . Can Niv pull these cards into your hand with his ability? Are they technically both colours, or are they only one?

In every zone except the stack split cards have the properties of both halves of the card. So both of those cards could be put into your hand because they are exactly two colors. Breaking / Entering could not because it is three color.

I'm not a judge but... https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=cut
From the page: While not on the stack, the characteristics of a split card are the combination of its two halves. For example, Destined // Lead is a green and black card, it is both an instant card and a sorcery card, and its converted mana cost is 6.

You do not need to be a judge to answer that. Some of those questions are answered on the Gatherer pages for the cards. For example, Driven / Despair :
"While not on the stack, the characteristics of a split card are the combination of its two halves. For example, Destined // Lead is a green and black card, it is both an instant card and a sorcery card, and its converted mana cost is 6. This means that if an effect allows you to cast a card with converted mana cost 2 from your hand, you can’t cast Destined. This is a change from the previous rules for split cards."
I have bolded the relevant part. They are multicolor cards.
