How is Saint of Virtue's gender handled when played by a person who identifies as a gender other than what they physically are?
Just one more thing...

I don't believe that there is any consideration for this card beyond birth gender.  If you ask because this specific scenario (for this obscure and unused card) has come up, then we can make sure that is the definitive ruling, but I don't see anything in the ability, rules, or precedent that would have it be ruled otherwise.

On a side note, as this is the Rulings Board, given the subject material, I'm going to quote from Da Rules around here, pointing out the key ones in play for this thread:

1: This is a Christian forum, with players and families of all ages.  We ask that you watch the language that you use and the way that you treat others.  Disagreeing is perfectly fine, even encouraged so we can get to the right answers, but while you can say that someone's ideas are flawed, do not say that they are flawed or use your tongue to try and destroy them.
Quote from: Jesus, Matthew 15:18
The things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.
Quote from: James, James 3:9-12
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

3: Do not post spam, or posts that are not about rulings or rule changes.  This board is designed to be a place to have questions answered, differences dealt with, and changes codified.  Therefore, spam is not tolerated.  Jokes or friendly banter in an otherwise-legitimate ruling thread is perfectly fine as long as it does not take a thread over; keep posts on-topic and make sure you are contributing to the discussion at hand.

If a post violates any of the rules or guidelines, it may be edited, quarantined, or deleted outright based on the severity or rule involved, and the poster will be informed of the change and why it occurred.  Additional action may be taken by the moderators, if warranted.

This thread will be moderated accordingly.  If there is a desire to discuss gender identity itself, and not the ruling here, there is a board for that (and a thread already exists).

Thank you  :police:

Thank you both for the answer and the way in which it was handled.
