Asked by jotjot 11 years ago

I deck have a Werewolf deck. How does Coat of Arms work? could you please explain in detail?

It works exactly how it says it does.

For a given creature, it gets +1/+1 for each other creature you control that shares at least one creature type with it.

So if you control, say, 3 wolves and 2 werewolves, each wolf will get +2/+2 and each werewolf will get +1/+1.

If you control creatures with multiple creature types, they don't get an additive bonus for sharing multiple creature types. So if you control three bird soldiers, they will each only get +2/+2 because they share "at least one" creature type. The fact that they share two doesn't matter.

Coat of Arms looks at creature types. If a group of creatures shares at least one creature type, that group of creatures gets +1/+1 each. Sharing multiple types doesn't do anything extra; each creature can only get +1/+1 from each other creature that shares a type with it.

For example, you have Afflicted Deserter  Flip , Werewolf Ransacker  Flip , and Doomed Traveler .

basically each werewolf you control gets +1/+1 for EACH werewolf you control

so if 4x Tormented Pariah  Flips were under you control, then would each get +4/+4.. because you have 4 werewolf creatures and Coat of Arms give +1/+1 to each creature that shares a creature type for EACH werewolf creature you control.... so you would end upi with 4x Tormented Pariah  Flips sitting @ 7/6 in the human or non-transformed mode... then once they transform you will have 4x Rampaging Werewolfs at 10/8...

make sense?

Nick, Casual Strategist: Coat of Arms counts each other creature that shares a creature type. No creature will buff itself. If you have four Wolf tokens, each one will get +3/+3 (which is +1/+1 for each other creature that shares a type with it).
