Bringer is a creature type unique to Fifth Dawn. They are depicted as crystalline humanoid or beastly entities.[2] Their nature transcends the metal ecology of Mirrodin.[3]

History

There were five Bringers, all conceived as manifestations of the energy of the five "suns" (moons) of Mirrodin. Each of these rare creatures has a mana cost of 7 generic manaMM, but can be played for White manaBlue manaBlack manaRed manaGreen mana instead of the mana cost. Each has base power and toughness 5/5, trample and a powerful ability that may be played at the beginning of the owner's upkeep.

Bringer is a creature type that isn't supported anymore. It was used to unify a group of creatures, but the type has not been added to creatures thereafter.[4]

During an Unknown Event, a test card featuring the type was introduced called Bringer of Green Zenith's Twilight which was also a Phyrexian.
