# Obosh, the Preypiercer
- **Mana Cost:** `{3}{B/R}{B/R}` (CMC: 5)
- **Type:** Legendary Creature — Hellion Horror
- **Keywords:** Companion, Double

## Oracle Text
Companion — Your starting deck contains only cards with odd mana values and land cards. (If this card is your chosen companion, you may put it into your hand from outside the game for {3} as a sorcery.)
If a source you control with an odd mana value would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage to that permanent or player instead.

## Official Rulings
- *(2020-04-17)* For spells with {X} in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine the spell's mana value. If a permanent or card in any other zone has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
- *(2020-04-17)* You may have one companion in the Commander variant. Your deck, including your commander, must meet its companion requirement. Your companion is not one of your one hundred cards.
- *(2020-04-17)* If multiple replacement or prevention effects try to modify damage that would be dealt to a permanent or player, the player or the controller of the permanent chooses the order in which they apply.
- *(2020-04-17)* The requirements of the companion ability apply only to your starting deck. They do not apply to your sideboard.
- *(2020-04-17)* If a creature with trample you control would deal combat damage to a blocking creature while you control Obosh, you must assign its unmodified damage. For example, a 3/3 creature with trample blocked by a 2/2 creature can have 1 damage assigned to the defending player. It will then deal 4 damage to the blocking creature and 2 damage to the defending player.
- *(2020-04-17)* If more than one player wishes to reveal a companion, the starting player does so first, and players proceed in turn order. Once a player has chosen not to reveal a companion, that player can't change their mind.
