Moonsilver Spear in Olivia Voldaren deck
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on Jan. 18, 2015, 6:28 p.m. by redkhan
So I'm doing an Olivia Voldaren deck to switch between normal EDH and Duel Commander but I need to ask something possibly stupid. Moonsilver Spear creates white angel tokens but does not have a white mana symbol anywhere on the card. Therefor I should be okay to put it into a deck with Olivia Voldaren right?
Sorry about flavor discrepancies and posting in the wrong forum. Thank you for answering the question though.

Same way Nim Deathmantle can be run in non-black decks or fetch lands that aren't 100 percent color specific can be run (e.g. Arid Mesa in a R/B or W/G deck). Mana symbols count towards color identity, not words.

Oh no, you're fine. It's just a nitpicky thing-why the hell would a Vampire wield Avacyn's spear? In the actual game, it doesn't matter but for me it makes me feel awkward when I equip it. Like equipping Emrakul with Lightning Greaves, because that guy doesn't have feet. Or Griselbrand with Hot Soup because that demon can't eat soup.

Cuz Olivia Voldaren is a boss
That's why
If you don't have Blade of the Bloodchief in there though...
Also Basilisk Collar, Quietus Spike, and Illusionist's Bracers will get you so much further w Olivia; I'd consider running those over Moonsilver Spear

JA14732 - I agree with putting greaves or boots on the spaghetti monster.
greyninja - I have blade in there and forgot about those other three equipments thank you for reminding me.

Despite it making me want to scream from the flavor discrepancy, yes. It doesn't have a white mana symbol on it, so you're good. Also, please ask questions in the Q&A, not in the Commander (EDH) forum. Epoch will not be happy.
