Forcing a devoid creature to gain colors?

Asked by TheOfficialCreator 4 months ago

How does Leyline of the Guildpact interact with devoid creatures? Does it make them become not colorless anymore?

Here's a ruling from the MTG wiki: "Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid color. If that happens, it is no longer colorless, but it still has devoid." Hence, Leyline of the Guildpact will give devoid creatures all colors. My best understanding for the specific ruling behind this interaction is that devoid's characteristic-defining ability is on an earlier layer (613.1) than Leyline's color-changing effect (613.1e).
