Legality Question About Zirda
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on Oct. 21, 2022, 12:39 p.m. by Max_Hammer
I'm working on this EDH deck where you've got Zacama, Primal Calamity as your commander and Zirda, the Dawnwaker as your companion for some spammy nonsense.
I figured, well, Illusionist's Bracers should work great in here, giving me double value on Zacama, or whatever else I happen to want.
Well, it's showing up as red/not legal for some reason. Tapped Out does yell at you when something isn't legal for your companion, but the bracers are equipment, and therefore have an activated ability.
I checked and they're not banned from EDH nor is there any weird errata I wasn't aware of, so I'm pretty sure this is just a glitch with Tapped Out.
Same thing was happening with Shefet Monitor before I took it out, even though cycling is an activated ability legal for Zirda. Plus, I have other cycling cards and other equipment in the deck.

Fixes are processing, may take a bit to propagate through the site. Little bit of info:
Zirda's legality is checked by looking at the textbox. Does the textbox have a colon? If yes, it's legal.
This does mean that keyword abilities that don't have the reminder text listed out in the rules text listed on the site (it contains the colon) will be flagged as illegal.
So next time you see one of these you can fix them if you are an upgraded user by adding in that reminder text fully so that the colon is present. It'd be faster than making a forum post I feel. Unless you aren't upgraded that is.

Oh, okay, cool! Thanks for letting me know about that! I didn't know, but I'm definitely going to do that the next time I find an error. (:

Femme_Fatale would be the person to contact for that. I've made EDH decks with Zirda in the past and it's marked various equipment as illegal :)
