Well... darn it. Thanks for pointing this out.

I love Abzan and cats, so I'm not sure why my brain decided to put blue in there.

I don't know the official reason it's B rather than K, but [[Dark Ritual]] adding KKK was probably something they wanted to avoid.

This is Maro's reasoning:

" Oh, real quickly. Why do we do that? I’ve talked about this in my column, but for those that haven’t heard me say it, when first Richard made the cards, the problem was that black and blue both start with B. So why not go to L then? Well, land—which we used to—card colors are used to signify the border, the kind of card it’s on. And so land has its own border. So L is for land. Well why not go to A for black? Well, A is artifact. And so U was the first we could get to in either of them, so we ended up going with U.

It’s been pointed out to me that in printing, I believe, black is K, but anyway, we didn’t know that at the time, it’s become sort of institutionalized, so anyway, blue is U. And so WUBRG is what we call sort of the order that we do things in. "

You think that's annoying? Doing t:rat, t:"rat", or "rat" still pulls up every damn pirate card!

try this:
t:rat -t:pirate -t:angrath
