Carte Magic Petrifying Meddler

Petrifying Meddler 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

Devoid (This card has no color.) When you cast this spell, tap up to one target creature and put a stun counter on it. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.) Reach

How it works : Petrifying Meddler

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Petrifying Meddler's triggered ability will resolve before Petrifying Meddler does. If Petrifying Meddler is countered or otherwise leaves the stack in response to that triggered ability, the triggered ability will still resolve as normal.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    A card with devoid is just colorless. It's not colorless and the colors of mana in its mana cost.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid a color. If that happens, it's just the new color, not that color and colorless.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object's color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    Devoid doesn't affect the color identity of the card for the purposes of the Commander variant. For example, while Abstruse Appropriation is colorless because it has devoid, its color identity is still white and black, and it can't be included in a Commander deck where the commander's color identity doesn't include both white and black.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
