Shadow is a keyword ability on creatures that serves as both an evasion ability and a blocking restriction, featured in the Tempest block.[1] Shadow made a minor appearance in Time Spiral.[2] It is unlikely to return again.[3] Shadow was independently designed by Mike Elliott [4] and Richard Garfield.[5]
Description
An attacking creature with shadow can only be blocked by a defending creature with shadow, and a defending creature with shadow can only block an attacking creature with shadow. It was first seen in the Tempest block, and was revisited in the Time Spiral block. Shadow is found on black, white and blue creatures, while a few red and green creatures are able to block shadow creatures. The aura Æther Web permits enchanted creature block creatures with shadow as though they didn't have shadow.
Storyline
Rath was Yawgmoth’s ever-expanding plane of flowstone. When it merged with parts of Dominaria as part of Yawgmoth’s interplanar invasion tactics during the Tempest Block storyline, some Dominarian races became trapped in the interstitial void between the two planes. These unfortunate Soltari, Dauthi and Thalakos are known as “shadow creatures.” [6]
Rules
Rulings
- It is possible for Banding to result in a Shadow creature blocking or being blocked by a non-Shadow creature. This is legal.
Example
Creature type
- The creature subtype Shadow became Spirit in the Grand Creature Type Update (Nether Shadow).
