Coward is a creature class. Cowards are people who lack courage in facing danger, difficulty, opposition, pain, etc.; timid or easily intimidated persons.
Description[]
The first creature to be printed with this type was Craven Hulk from Kaldheim. Before this, the type was not used in any type line – not even on tokens. Changelings, notably, always counted as Cowards.
The subtype had been only mentioned on three cards before receiving a creature with the type printed on it (Boldwyr Intimidator (Future Sight), and Pyrophobia and Reprobation from Modern Horizons). Unfinity added Scared Stiff, while Duskmourn: House of Horror added the type to Norin.
Card interacting with Cowards[]
- Boldwyr Intimidator, Kargan Intimidator and Gornog, the Red Reaper can change creatures into Cowards and disallow Cowards to block Warriors.
- Pyrophobia disallows Cowards to block in general.
- Reprobation can change creatures into Cowards with base power and toughness 0/1.
- Coward (Doctor Who) is a sorcery that can change creatures into Cowards.[1]
Notable cowards[]
- Norin was a notable coward despite not having the type on his original card.[2][3][4][5]
- He had gained the type on his second card by the time he traveled to Duskmourn.
