"New" keyword for Ikoria?

Per the patch notes for the today's Arena update, "Cards that deal damage based on their Toughness now use the term "Backbone" in ability hangers."

EDIT: Also "Cards that can assign damage as if they had not been blocked now use the term "Unstoppable" in their ability hangers."

I'd be pretty jazzed to have a little less word salad in my life.

These are keywords the MTG Arena team decided to add, and are not indicative of upcoming changes for Ikoria/tabletop. 🤔 For some reason, we were asked to use something other than "butt fighting" for assigning damage based on toughness...
