Carte Magic Glister Bairn

Glister Bairn is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Vivid — At the beginning of combat on your turn, another target creature you control gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of colors among permanents you control.

How it works : Glister Bairn

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The colors are white, blue, black, red, and green. Colorless is not a color.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Lands are normally colorless permanents, even if they tap for mana of a certain color.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    The value of X is calculated only once, as Glister Bairn's ability resolves.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
