Can a Dreadbore kill a Fiendslayer Paladin?

Asked by FalloutCat 9 years ago

Ok so I was playing my white weenie deck vs my friend's rakdos deck. I had Fiendslayer Paladin out and my friend cast Dreadbore targeting it. I reminded him about its hexproof for red and black and he said Dreadbore was neither of them, it was a gold card. I just agreed with him and my fiendslayer died. Is that what was meant to happen?

Do not agree to something like that. Usually in Magic, if a card has multiple characteristics (like Mutavault being a land and a creature when activated), it has all those characteristics at the same time and must follow the rules for each and every one of them.

The same is true for Dreadbore - it is both a black spell and a red spell. The paladin cannot be targeted by either of those, so your opponent cannot destroy your paladin with Dreadbore .

Additionally, the colors in magic are white, green, blue, red and black. There is no gold color, it is just an indicator that uses the card frame to tell you that the card has multiple colors.

There are only five colors in Magic: white, blue, black, red, and green. There are two additional color-related characteristics: colorless and multicolored. "Gold" is not a color. Neither are colorless and multicolored.

But Epochalyptik what colour(s) are artifacts and artifact creatures?

Most artifacts are colorless. They don't have colors. There are exceptions, such as Glassdust Hulk .
