Gameplay

Enchantment

As this enchantment enters, choose a color and an opponent. White creatures get +1/+1 as long as the chosen color is the most common color among nontoken permanents the chosen player controls but isn't tied for most common. When the chosen color isn't the most common color among nontoken permanents the chosen player controls or is tied for most common, sacrifice this enchantment.

If Call to Arms changes controllers, it will continue to check the nontoken permanents controlled by the player chosen as it entered, even if that player isn't an opponent of its current controller.

Call to Arms's third ability is a "state trigger." Once a state trigger triggers, it won't trigger again as long as the ability is on the stack. If the ability is countered and the trigger condition is still true, it will immediately trigger again.

2009-10-01wotc

The game continually counts the number of nontoken permanents of each color the chosen player controls. Multicolored ones are counted for each of their colors; colorless ones are ignored. The moment the number of nontoken permanents of the chosen color that player controls is less than or equal to the number of permanents of one of the other colors that player controls, Call to Arms's second ability stops giving white creatures +1/+1 and its third ability triggers. Call to Arms will be sacrificed when the third ability resolves, even if those numbers have changed by then.

Context

This printing is one of 3 catalogued treatments from ME3 — the lineup includes Foil and Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #4 of *Masters Edition III*, the set that shipped alongside the September 2009 Masters Edition III release.

Card type: Enchantment, color identity white, printed at uncommon. Uncommons fill the middle-tier slots in a standard booster configuration. Mana cost: {1}{W} (2 converted).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #28,443 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
