Host is an acorn supertype with no inherent functionality. Instead, it serves as an identifying characteristic, and is closely tied to cards with augment.[2][3][4]
Description
Host appears on creatures in Unstable and Unsanctioned.[4] All host creatures have an enter ability which becomes a repeatable triggered ability when the host is combined with an augment. The exact condition for the triggered ability depends on the augment.
Host creatures always have a card name in two parts divided by a fissure, a metal bar running vertically through their art and a text box split in two unequal parts.[2]
Unlike other supertypes, like basic or world, but similar to snow, host does nothing other than to identify host creatures. Instead, various effects reference host creatures, mainly the augment ability.[5]
Host/Augment is close to make it into black border.[6]
