the x curve on free casted card

one reason i switched to
"mana count" from "converted mana cost"
in my card designs
it's a stable tracking feature for X

gatekeeping by limiting the upper limit of a "free cast"

i see an unnecessary field

on exit; return the exile card to its hand

target is a word ford on many magic cards

text space could be saved if targeting is assumed
#kingMinusEdit

if you choose it| it's targeted.

#mtg would save a tremendous by not writing "until the end of turn" for most of the alterations

Simply include wiping alterations with clean up step
unless otherwise stated on the card
I know that
#kingminusedit

bsky.app/profile/levd...

they put "until the end of turn," upfront
#mtg #wotcStaff #kingminusEdit

why would anyone use the word "during" on a block step
that is a single incident

we all remember the problems that arose from "during upkeep" use

can we eliminate
"the beginning of" ?

any phrase starting with "at"
is already marked step or phase change trigger condition

"unless otherwise stated"
assumes a non stated default conditions
Like cards enter untapped unless otherwise stated.
Game parameters set Default conditions.

among entrance trigger cards most refer to the playing field
#KingMinusEdit #mtg
if default
"On entry;" could infers that
#wotcStaff
pardon me

for the sake of the judges
this ruling should be reversed
#mtg

Errata for cards people may have never seen before
will bring disillusion to the players
& arguments with the judges

rule of isolation (an the absence of authority)
the written card can only play as it reads
#KingMinusEdit
#wotcStaff

Switch "print to demand" to "print on demand".
Propositions can be so slippery.
#kingminusEdit #wotcStaff #mtg
"On demand; print"
should apply to a self referential object that prints up secret lair cards whenever they are demanded from it.

#mtg #KingMinusEdit

upkeep used to be considered a continuous phase
not a turn step

"When you gain creatures; draw one card."

does that by default resolve by [sets] ?
#mtg #wotcStaff #KingMinusEdit

repeating a proper name on a card
takes unnecessary text space
if a card is self-referential by default
#kingminusEdit
tangentially
Repeating the proper name in an internet post
makes those post searchable by that name

is there a convention to use
"as long as" as a convention of static board effects
rather than "if"?

For each land type you have
Tek gets the following
Swamp -> +2/+0
Island -> Flying
Plains -> +0/+2
Forest -> Trample
Mountain-> First Strike
