What happens when Painter's Servant interacts with Mycosynth Lattice?

Asked by silenced 12 years ago

So if you have a card:Painter's Servant that named white as the color, will Mycosynth Lattice still make it colorless or not?

It depends on time stamping. If the Painter's Servant came out first, then everything is colorless because Lattice came out last.If Lattice came out first, then everything is white because Servant came out last.

We're dealing with layers here. When multiple continuous effects would be applied in the same layer, they are applied in timestamp order. This means that the newest effect applies first. If card:Painter's Servant entered the battlefield after Mycosynth Lattice , all cards in the game will be the chosen color. If Mycosynth Lattice entered the battlefield after card:Painter's Servant, they'll all be colorless.

Do you mean the newest effect applies second? First Mycosynth Lattice makes everything colorless, then the (newer) Painter's Servant makes everything white.

I meant last. I edited halfway through and never thought to double-check that. Good catch.

Yes they are right and you picked good cards to demonstrate this with as card:Painter's Servant hints at the answer. You can look at it as layers of paint. Whatever the last color painted was, is what you see, not the color underneath that was put on before.

What if both artifacts were Oblivion Ring ed, and I cast something like Primeval Light , and the 2 artifacts come back simultaneously?

Maybe the cards will be both colored and colorless, in theory. Just like the "colorless" was a particular type of color

As they enter play, the effects go onto the stack and you can order them as you choose and from that point on they continue in that order.

@Cirdan13: The effects don't use the stack, as they are continuous.

Yeah, you're right but the idea is the same. You choose what order they effect the game and then they stay that way.
