question about permanents

[hotsoss834]

If you have a card that reads "creatures power and toughness are equal to the total number of green permanents you control" does a forrest count as a green permanent?

[Josh]

A land is a permanent

But a land is also colorless

so it would not be counted in this case.

[Arix]

Remember that a card's colour is determined by its mana cost. Since lands have no mana cost, they have no colour.

[Josh]

if it just said "creatures power and toughness are equal to the total number of permanents you control"

without the green

then it would be counted
