Cow is a seldom used acorn and test card creature type for cards which depict a type of large, domestic bovine.

History

Cow debuted as a creature type in Unglued and has yet to reappear in any other un-set. It later re-appeared on the Dairy Cow test card in Mystery Booster 2.

Black-bordered cards tend to use the Ox creature type for non-humanoid bovines and Minotaur for humanoid bovines. Bartered Cows are traded on Eldraine while Holy Cows have been seen on Thunder Junction.

Trivia

• Hungry Hungry Heifer is a reference to Hungry Hungry Hippos and also later inspired the black-bordered Chisei, Heart of Oceans.
• Krazy Kow was supposed to be "Mad Cow" but this was changed due to the outbreak of mad cow disease in England at the time.
• Raging Bull from Legends was originally printed as a Bull but was later errataed to be Ox in the Grand Creature Type Update.
• The Secret Lair Drop Series: Inside an Elevator Superdrop featured a re-skinned Monty Python and the Holy Grail version of Goblin Bombardment called Cow-tapult.
