Can I activate Rarity's 2nd ability with MLP Miniatures?

Asked by H3y_Im_Rob 3 years ago

I have a question regarding Rarity 2nd ability:

If I where to use a miniature (https://wizkids.com/my-little-pony/) would I be able to activate Rarity's 2nd ability if I paint the mini all 5 colors?

Also, If I use a grey My Little Pony toy would that count as colorless and would I be able to activate Rarity's 2nd ability for colorless spells/abilities?

First question, can you use painted minis?

Silver-bordered cards, like Rarity, allow players some leeway with the official rules, and are subject to interpretation. I think most playgroups would say that minis count as toys and thus would allow you to use it for protection purposes. There might be some, however, that say you are trying to manipulate the situation for protection purposes, and request you only use official colored toys.

Second question, would grey provide protection from colorless?

This actually does have a real answer--Rarity specifies it provides protection from the "color[s]" in the toy; per the official rules, colorless is not a color, so you will never be able to use a toy to gain protection from colorless.
