Update to Tolabow, Loch Rascal's Rules Text

The Mana Forge Digest

Tolabow's rules text has been updated to clarify its function, allowing decks with a chosen color other than blue.

Key points

• Tolabow’s original rules text was confusing and difficult to understand
• New text allows one non-blue color in instant/sorcery cards and any basic land
• Chosen color can be red, green, white, black, or any combination of these

What you get

• Clearer understanding of card mechanics
• More intuitive deck-building rules for players
• Enhanced functionality in Commander environments

Why it matters

To improve player comprehension and enjoyment, the game team revised Tolabow’s rules text to make its function more intuitive.

Details

The new rulebreaker states that if Tolabow is your commander, you can include one non-blue color in instant/sorcery cards and any basic land in your deck

For example, choosing red as the additional color allows for cards like Lightning Bolt (red) and Mystic Retrieval (blue with flashback)

The change aims to make it easier for players to build decks that comply with Tolabow’s rules text

Good to know

• Effective immediately upon release
• Applicable to all future copies of the card in any set or expansion
• No changes to existing cards or sets, only new cards and expansions will be affected
