Civic Saber on Alesha, Who Smiles at Death
Asked by scotchtapedsleeves 6 years ago
Wondering if Civic Saber gives +1/+1 or +3/+3 on Alesha, Who Smiles at Death given that she technically has 3 colours?

Ah danke, I was confusing colour identity with colour then

No. Alesha, Who Smiles at Death has one color: red.
A card's color is determined by its mana cost plus any characteristic-defining abilities and color indicators.
Alesha, Who Smiles at Death has a red mana symbol in its cost and doesn't have any color indicators or color-setting CDAs. While it's color identity, which includes colored mana symbols in rules text, is black red white, its color is only red.
Also, note that Civic Saber gives +1/+0 per color, not +1/+1. Alesha, Who Smiles at Death will get +1/+0.
