Modern allows cards from the 8th Edition core set and all expansions printed afterwards. Modern was created by Wizards of the Coast in the Spring of 2011 as a response to the increasing popularity of the Legacy format, which although popular proved difficult to access due to the high price of staple cards. The frame has just been a way to easily convey that information.Modern is the newest constructed format. So even the blue Hurricane and Green Serendib Efreet were technically green and blue respectively. It's always been the mana cost, color ability, or color indicator. I don't think the frame has ever been used to officially indicate color. Now, the above cards won't work on older cards with color abilities. They then updated the Oracle text of all the cards to remove the "color ability" of cards and replace them with the color indicator. This was treated as an ability, so you could use a card that changed all instances of one color word on another to change the color of cards like that.īut around original Innistrad, they started using the color indicator to denote the colors of the night side of cards. Yeah, if you look at older printings of it, it will say "Pact of Negation is blue". The mtg gamepedia article on color identity has a good lay description of how it works, as well as the literal rules from the Comprehensive Rules. Really, like the entire issue in this comment chain is because someone started casually throwing around the words identity and indicator and rules text without being precise, and now there's a lot of confusing stuff said. So REB can't hit Memnarch (barring other circumstances) and White Knight is not actually protected from anything Alesha does. However however, when doing stuff like ], or figuring out protection ala ], just the literal color of the card (as indicated by mana cost in the upper right, or a color indicator in the typeline for those without mana costs) matters. Similarly, you couldn't play ] in the Bosh deck, because of the B mana in the flashback cost, but you could play it in the Alesha deck because she's RBW. However, you can't play ] in your ] deck, because Bosh as a color identity of red, and Alesha (while being a mono-red card) has a color identity of red-white-black, which is not a subset of red. It lets you do stuff like have ] as the commander of your blue deck because of his activated ability, or ] in red, or ] as the commander of a Mardu (RWB) deck, even though she's a red card, because of the W/B hybrid mana in her text. r/magicTCG is not produced, endorsed, supported by, or affiliated with Wizards of the Coast.
