Odyssey followed up with a cycle of Lhurgoyfs: these rare creatures' power and toughness were equal the number of cards of a given related card type to its colour in all graveyards, and each had an ability common to its color. — Cantivore (white, empowered by enchantments, has vigilance), Cognivore (blue, instants, flying), Mortivore (black, creatures, regeneration), Magnivore (red, sorceries, haste) and Terravore (green, lands, trample). Magnivore and Mortivore were reprinted in 9th Edition. The last Lhurgoyfs were printed in Planar Chaos (Detritivore) and Future Sight (Tarmogoyf) [2].
