How does Darkest Hour and Thran Lens interact?

Asked by Obiv 6 years ago

I looking cards that change a permanent type or creature to a different color and I wondered how they worked if there was two with conflicting text such as Darkest Hour and Thran Lens. What would happen?

This is dealt with layers (rule 613) and color changing effects are handled in the fifth layer. The continuous effects are handled in time stamped order. Meaning the effect that was there first is applied, then the second , and so on. In your example if Darkest Hour was played first then Thran Lens all permanents would be colorless. If played in the other order all creatures would be black and all other permanents would be colorless.
