Rulings

Oct 1, 2005

All creatures that share a color are affected, even your own.

Oct 1, 2005

A creature “shares a color” with any creature that is at least one of its colors. For example, a green-white creature shares a color with creatures that are green, white, green-white, red-white, black-green, and so on.

Oct 1, 2005

If it targets a colorless creature, it doesn’t affect any other creatures. A colorless creature shares a color with nothing, not even other colorless creatures.

Oct 1, 2005

You check which creatures share a color with the target when the spell resolves.

Oct 1, 2005

Only one creature is targeted. If that creature leaves the battlefield or otherwise becomes an illegal target, the entire spell doesn’t resolve. No other creatures are affected.
