The fact that this is an instant is just hilariously devious.

Change the text on Jaya Ballard, Task Mage's first ability to whatever color you're playing against.

The answer to Iona, Shield of Emeria . The color is declared as she is coming into play, the stack is still open to responses, unless the color called is Blue... oracle ruling, damn you.

@Tobinator: No, it only changes color words, not land-name words.

I love this card. A) it has flashback. if you can use it to positive effect once, then flashback means card advantage. If you have difficulty using it 'normally' the first time, then a discard effect + flashback can set up a very interesting play. In general, flashback cards should get about 1/4 extra star just cuz.


Second, the ability is something wierd. Text-changing cards are very situational at best, but this particular text reference is easily the most useful of the lot, since specific lands are not necessary to generate particular colors of mana, and specific types of creatures are even more 'relevant only when relevant' (tribal decks)

Guess what is probably the best color to call? Black. Yup. Stops Doom Blade effects and Fear effects dead. Iona, the Protection keyword, and a few other cards are also very powerful color-matters effects that you want to have something to stop.

If I ever sat down, looked at all 14,000-something Magic cards, and started rebuilding the Pla... (see all)
