As a custom card designer there are a bunch of little things, about how some mechanics are worded that can limit design possibilities. So I made this post about some things that I think would be cool to see, changed to help fix those smaller problems. https://t.co/9Mtu3oVjyF

        @BionicDoor @ben_heathstone @IksarHS @Songbird_HS @MyntyPhresh It's reasonable that you'd want to keyword things like Chilling and Elusive as you use them in creative ways in custom cards. We would do the same, if we used them more extensively.

          @BionicDoor @ben_heathstone @IksarHS @Songbird_HS @MyntyPhresh Keywording things comes with an overhead; if they're only used on a couple cards, it's not worth it. Elusive is one we have considered keywording several times. If we do use it a bunch in a set, and build synergies off it, we probably would.

            @BionicDoor @ben_heathstone @IksarHS @Songbird_HS @MyntyPhresh So if you make a custom card set and say "I'm using Elusive enough in this set to justify keywording it", that sounds totally reasonable.

              @Celestalon @ben_heathstone @IksarHS @Songbird_HS @MyntyPhresh Totally understand that! I do hope eventually we do get a cool Faerie Dragon set one day to see it happen! What do you think of the idea of giving the minions that have "Freeze any characters damaged by this" a symbol like the poison vile Poisonous minions have?

                @BionicDoor @ben_heathstone @IksarHS @Songbird_HS @MyntyPhresh I think that's a similar situation to keywording. If we do a lot of it, it'd be worth doing. When we do it on more than just a card or two here or there, it'll be worth the overhead.

                  @Celestalon @ben_heathstone @IksarHS @Songbird_HS @MyntyPhresh That’s definitely fair. Mainly brought it up because I traded into the new snowman card the other day not realizing it had that effect. Thought it would be a cool addition. Pun very much intended. Thanks for the answers man, very appreciated!

                    @BionicDoor @ben_heathstone @IksarHS @Songbird_HS @MyntyPhresh Yeah, I think AV came the closest to justifying it as we're going to see in a while, and didn't quite make the cut.
