No glitz. No double faced cards, split cards, commander cards, or universes beyond. Just the simple, clean, consistent aesthetic of modern cards in the modern card frame.

Intuitive Mechanics No cumbersome tracking issues, complicated rules text, or secret combos.

Authentic magic. Not “best of” power maxing. Lots of commons and uncommons, pump spells are playable, bombs are beatable, card advantage is earned, and synergy is rewarded.

Rules References

Changeling only adds creature types - it does not count as cartouche or arcane. You cannot splice blessed breath onto nameless inversion.

If you bestow it is no longer a creature - a bestowed indebted spirit will not trigger celestial kirin and you cannot "flash bestow" with scout's warning or rattlechains. A bestow creature is also only an aura when bestowed (cannot be tutored with tallowisp).

Changelings have the army creature type - amass will put counters on changelings instead of creating a token. If you control an army token and a changeling you choose where to place the counters.

Gods are creatures by default in all zones, devotion count is only active while on the battlefield. You can use vigor mortis on thassa, god of the sea with one blue devotion as it is a creature in the graveyard even though it will not be on the battlefield.

Tallowisp cannot find rune of mortality (“enchant permanent”) but runes can be used to reanimate evershrike (aura with valid target).

Attaching auras with evershrike or rise of glory requires legal targets for the auras - the aura is not cast so does not target, it will not trigger heroic but can bypass shroud.

A card with “do x if y” always triggers and checks for the condition, but “if y do x” only triggers if condition is met. You can pump a creature with Mayael's Aria on the stack - but you cannot volatile claws to make demons for Liliana's contract.
