| “ | Ach! Hans, run! It's the Lhurgoyf! | ” |
Lhurgoyf is an all-color creature type used for cards that depict large, reptilian creatures, with distinctive elongated limbs and large, toothed mouths. Lhurgoyf are primarily scavengers. They come in a wide variety of shapes depending on their scavenged sustenance of choice. [1]
The first card to bear the creature type was the classical Lhurgoyf in Ice Age. Lhurgoyf's power is equal to the number of creature cards in all graveyards and its toughness is equal to that number plus 1. 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].
