Konda's Banner + Human Samurai

Asked by VynnRook 9 years ago

As I'm reading the card Konda's Banner It says that creatures that share both a Color and Creature Type with the equipped creature get a +1+1 Boost. My question is this, Human Samurai, does that relate to two seperate creature types? Humans; and then Samurai? Or is "Human Samurai" a single creature type? If I play something like Hand of Honor Does it get only two +1+1's for Color and creature type, or does it get Three? For Color, Human creature type, and then Samurai Creature type?

All types, subtypes, and supertypes are single words. "Human" and "Samurai" are two separate creature types.

More importantly, I think, Konda's Banner doesn't check for each individual creature type/color. It checks a total of twice: "Does this creature share at least one color" and "Does this creature share at least one type". Any given creature will, at most, get a +2/+2 buff from Konda's Banner .

So it limits the boost to a single creature type? I guess if the card read "Each" creature type that would be different huh?

Right, the "shares a type?" comparison is only going to get a Yes/No answer. An effect that works with "each creature type" would produce a different result, but because of the bookkeeping problems from Avian Changeling and friends, no card would be printed that way.

Oh I can see how that could be quite easily exploited yeah.
