Porcelain Legionnaire...Does it count?

Asked by Alphawolf626 13 years ago

I was laying here playing hooky from work and a thought popped into my mind.

Since you can pay 1 white mana, is Porcelain LegionnaireMTG Card: Porcelain Legionnaire considered a white creature as well as an artifact creature.

If so, since Vault SkirgeMTG Card: Vault Skirge can be paid with a black mana, does that make it immune to both Doom BladeMTG Card: Doom Blade AND Go for the ThroatMTG Card: Go for the Throat since it's an artifact?

Color is determined by the symbols in a card's mana cost. Since Porcelain LegionnaireMTG Card: Porcelain Legionnaire has a white (or Phyrexian white) mana symbol in its mana cost, it is a white creature. For the same reason, Vault SkirgeMTG Card: Vault Skirge is a black creature.

And, more accurately Ohthenoises, any black creature that a Phyrexian MetamorphMTG Card: Phyrexian Metamorph copies can't be targeted by Doom BladeMTG Card: Doom Blade or Go for the ThroatMTG Card: Go for the Throat.
