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 glossaryGPlayers write colors as letters: G for green.AggroAggro decks play cheap creatures early and attack every turn, trying to knock opponents out before their bigger plans come together.Open the Aggro pageOverrunMakes your whole team bigger at once, usually with trample or another way past blockers.

A token is a creature (or other object) that a card creates, not a card from your deck.Open the Tokens pageStat ScalingA creature whose power and toughness count something, so it grows as the game goes on. It might count lands you control or cards in your graveyard.

It does not stop effects that neither target nor damage, like a board wipe that destroys every creature. ProgenitusOpen the Protection page
