Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryUPlayers write colors as letters: U for blue. Blue is U because B was already taken by black.Graveyard/Self-MillGraveyard decks fill their own graveyard on purpose, then play cards from it as if it were a second hand. Moving cards from the top of your own deck straight into the graveyard is called self-mill.Open the Graveyard/Self-Mill pageCast from GraveyardLets you cast spells or play lands straight from your graveyard, so the graveyard becomes a second hand. This is different from Reanimation, which puts a creature card onto the battlefield without casting it.

Crew N is an activated ability: tap any number of untapped creatures you control whose total power is N or more, and the Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn. The crewing creatures are only tapped: they are never sacrificed, they do not attack, and summoning sickness does not stop them from crewing.

Evasion makes these far more reliable. Ragavan, Nimble PilfererOpen the Saboteur pageVehiclesVehicle decks use Vehicles, artifacts that become creatures when you tap your own creatures to crew them. A Vehicle is not a creature the rest of the time, so it survives spells that destroy all creatures and then turns into an attacker when you need it.Open the Vehicles pageVehiclesVehicles are artifacts that become creatures when you crew them by tapping your own creatures with enough total power.Open the Vehicles page
