That seems weird if only because Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar technically doesn't have a 'cost' cost and only an ability that costs {R} or {B} and yet she ends up in the gold color identity column and not over with poor accidentally uncolored Greasefang and the Hope of Ghirapur. I guess she has the little pip next to her types. I mean I can see that you might not be using these cards in a format that doesn't rely on color identity, but they still have it and a lot of people use it for deck construction.

I guess if I were to make a suggestion for functional options maybe adding a color identity button would be good.

Oh and couldn't find Jorn, God of Winter  ^Flip or Svella, Ice Shaper just looking for 3 mana legendary green creatures, unless I add in 'legendary snow creatures' which makes it feel like I'm expected to know snow creatures before actually looking for them.

Anyhow you caught me in the middle of typing up the following when I noticed the quick reply:

I have a slightly more complete list of cards that don't seem to have the appropriate color identity at least as far as searching them out and organizing them on my side goes. I was looking for a list of all the possible Tiny Leaders a person could use (so legendary 3 mana value or less creature cards that could serve as a commander in a game that uses commanders) and these are the cards I could not find if I searched by color identity or if once I found them they didn't fit their color identity (in all cases they show up under a single color category instead of 'gold'). There are probably several other cards that have this issue that exist outside my search parameters.

• Alesha, Who Smiles at Death appears under {R} cards even though it is {R}{W}{B}
• Greasefang, Okiba Boss appears under {C} cards even though it is {W}{B}
• Jorn, God of Winter  ^Flip appears under {G} cards even though by rights the card as a whole should be counted as {B}{G}{U} because of its backside being Kaldring, the Rimestaff  ^Flip
• Ken, Burning Brawler appears under {R} cards even though it is {R}{W}
• Plargg, Dean of Chaos  ^Flip appears under {R} cards even though by rights the card as a whole should be counted as {R}{W} because of its backside being Augusta, Dean of Order  ^Flip
• Ryu, World Warrior appears under {W} cards even though it is {R}{W}
• Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest appears under {U} cards even though it is {U}{R}{W}
• Tatsunari, Toad Rider appears under {B} cards even though it is {B}{G}{U}
• Yasova Dragonclaw appears under {G} cards even though it is {G}{U}{R}

Greasefang, Okiba Boss is missing her color identity. She shows up as 'Colorless'.

Also, Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, Yasova Dragonclaw, Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest all show up in mono-color searches, but not when for instance you search for 3 mana Mardu color cards in Alesha's case.

The ability you are referring to on Yasova Dragonclaw is a triggered ability. It triggers at the start of combat on your turn. You get the opportunity to pay {1}{GU}{GU} exactly once each time the trigger resolves. If you copy the trigger or have multiple combat phases on your turn you can use it each time. But without other effects it is a once per turn thing.

So. You have alot going on. 1st off realize if you make it as evil as you mention some play groups will ask you not to play thst deck. Or they will ask you to take certain cards out Shivan Harvest i pulled out of my Yasova Dragonclaw deck for instance. If you don't care that's. Cool we can go evil.

Small note on the answer to scenario 1- SBAs have nothing to do with when something triggers. Willbreaker actually triggers while the Yasova Dragonclaw trigger is being put on the stack. This is a minor issue, but in some extreme corner cases with other triggers it matters that triggers happen at any time, not just when SBAs are checked.

Scenario 1)Yasova Dragonclaw's trigger goes on the stack, targeting Llanowar Elves. State based actions are checked, and Willbreaker's ability triggers and becomes the topmost item in the stack. You will gain control with Willbreaker's ability. Yasova's ability then fizzles, as it can only target creatures an opponent controls.

Scenarios 2 & 3) These are not functionally different, so long as you would control Llanowar Elves when Bazaar Trader's ability would resolve (which you will until the cleanup step, NOTE: there is no delayed trigger from Yasova, just a duration to the control effect).

Hello everyone!

My friend has a deck featuring Yasova Dragonclaw and he asked me some questions about control changing effects, and I couldn't be sure in all of them.

We are aware that control changing effects all happen in the same layer, but a thing or two or a little hard to explain.

Scenario 1)
Yasova Dragonclaw Triggers on combat, and I target an opposing Llanowar Elves with that ability; but I also control Willbreaker. What happens?

Scenario 2)
I take control of Llanowar Elves with Yasova as above, but I don't control Willbreaker. Instead I choose to target the elf with Bazaar Trader at the beggining of my second main phase.

Scenario 3) Same as above but I use Bazaar Trader in response to Yasova's delayed trigger at the beggining of my end step

Throg, God of Thunder

Legendary Creature - Frog Barbarian God

Whenever Throg, God of Thunder attacks you may discard a card from your hand. If you do, he gets +X/+0 until end of turn where X is that card's mana value.

Whenever you discard a land, Throg, God of Thunder deals 4 damage to any target.

Lmao, nice.

Back during Fate Reforged, we got two cycles of hybrid-activation creatures; Five rares and five mythics. Strangely enough, the rares were Legendary creatures and the mythics were not.

We got; Daghatar the Adamant, Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest, Tasigur, the Golden Fang, Alesha, Who Smiles at Death and Yasova Dragonclaw. For the mythics, we got Soulfire Grand Master, Torrent Elemental, Brutal Hordechief, Shaman of the Great Hunt... and then there's this guy, who breaks the mould.

Make a new mono-, non-legendary MYTHIC creature who has an activation cost that follows the pattern of the other nine.
