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 was only mentioned on a small number of cards before receiving a creature with the type printed on it:
- Boldwyr Intimidator and Kargan Intimidator can also 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.
Notable cowards[]
- Craven Hulk is the only printed coward.
- In the storyline, Norin was a notable coward despite not having the type.[1][2][3][4]
