I'm looking for a card that will temporarily change the color of my creatures. I'm fairly certain such a card exists, could someone link me?

I'm pretty sure that's all of the cards that can change the color of a creature you control.

card:Painter's Servant also kind of fits into this category.

Thanks, that's really helpful. I was asking in reference to the card card:Angel's Herald, as I'll likely be playing a deck without many green or blue creatures in it, but still wanted a way to utilize it.

Just so you know, you are going to have to sacrifice three different creatures. You can't make one creature each of the colors and call it a day.

I know that. The point is that I'm never going to have one of all three if the deck is, say, 75% white, and only about 12.5% each green and blue, so this will help to boost my chances.

No, cards like Mind Bend only change the TEXT of the card. So for instance you could use Mind Bend on a Metathran Transport to change its weird abilities so that they affect stuff of some color other than blue, but you couldn't change the color of Metathran Transport itself with Mind Bend .

Since most of their creatures have flying (and things like Nightveil Specter and Desecration Demon are black to dodge Doom Blade ), would sideboarding Plummet be a good idea if running green?

need to see the deck list, i also hear that Arbor Colossus does a good job of handling those 2

Also possibly Skylasher but that doesn't work quite as well with the black If you could bring it in with counters like from Master Biomancer or Ivy Lane Denizen .

It would be a BUG list, but now that I think of it the CMC 1 instant that destroys target black creature would be good vs monoblack.
I am trying to tweak my sideboard to be able to accommodate for slots against the most common devotion decks (Blue and Black)

Dark Betrayal is the card you're looking for harrydemon117. I'd vote Arbor Colossus because it's just overall more useful than conditional removal like Plummet . And you should be able to play it early if you're green considering all the ramp available to you.

This is true, however my BUG list (here: Does it BUG you when I scry?) uses green the least of all 3 colors so having to have triple green makes it hard for Arbor Colossus
Sigh... Dedicating sideboard slots is one of the HARDEST things I've had to do in the current meta due to all of the different types

I will usually mainboard Ultimate Price these days as it's pretty good against just about everything. Doom Blade I usually side in against RG aggro if I think I need more early removal. Price works pretty good these days as there aren't a lot of multi-colored creature threats. Well, Nightveil Specter is still a problem I suppose...

Exactly and he dodges Doom Blade . He still falls prey to Hero's Downfall , but I would like to keep an assortment of removal spells handy. Abrupt Decay deals with him but not Desecration Demon .
Both fall prey to Plummet as does 12+ creatures from mono blue devotion

Guess I'm out of arguments. Still mainboard the blade or price, sideboard in the plummets when appropriate :-)

I like the Ultimate Price
idea as he will hit everything that's a problem except for Nightveil Specter
, which Abrupt Decay
and Hero's Downfall
can take care of.
I was trying to find 2 drop removal spells to help vs these specific decks, but I can't find another card that would seem better. Even Devour Flesh allows them to choose which one, but if it's the only creature then it works.
AHHHH this is soooo frustrating. I thought I had stumbled on something that was better than I thought. Guess that's a benefit of playtesting eh? Se la vie
Thanks for the comments! They have helped alot
