Something I've been asked more and more is if we'll ever keyword "enters the battlefield." Right now we write, "When [this card] enters the battlefield, [effect]." Instead, for example, imagine it's "Arrives — [effect]." Curious: do you like or dislike this? Why? #wotcstaff https://t.co/fB4EvEcokk

      @GavinVerhey Like this idea, because it makes cards considerably more readable, without sacrificing any depth. Please, slaughter a whole field of sacred cows, when it comes to card templating. (Ex: Use 'this' instead of the card's own name.)

        @Celestalon I remember playing as a kid and being like "Wait, if I discard a card to Wild Mongrel, do ALL my Mongrels get +1/+1?"
