Soul Swallower - Delerium [Solved]

Holocryptic

Ran into a case where Delerium effect did not trigger with black gems. Effect is not supposed to be color bound. At the start of my turn there were 4 black gems on the board.

I have screen shots but don't know how to insert them.

Effect is not supposed to be color bound

Is this a paper rule? Know this: paper does not always translate 100% to MtGPQ.


Unless specified like in the image above, Delirium applies only by the card color. In Soul Swallower's case, it requires Delirium .

Holocryptic

I thought the rule was that if a color wasn't specified, it meant any color. If a color is specified, it's that color.

I could be wrong.

for delirium, no colour specified means card colour.
(not sure about dual colour cards)

There's only one:


There are multiple colorless delirium cards but all specify the color they act on in the card text:

http://mtgpq.info/cards/233
http://mtgpq.info/cards/237
http://mtgpq.info/cards/243

Yes. The above explanations are correct. In Magic: Puzzle Quest, Delirium is only triggered if there are 5 or less gems of that card's color, unless specifically stated as relying on another color.
