The art work is really cool.

Anyone else notice the text on Guild feud is a little off.

It's the very last link.

Ya it's almost written as if you'd say it, not the normal text writing style. "You do the same...." doesn't sound right. It seems like a hoax.

Just sent one.

They probably needed to fit it in the box.

I 💜 the fact that they can say "they fight each other" and it makes perfect "rules sense"!  Gooey with flavor!  :-9

[Coffee Vampire]

Ikr!!!

It's both a very technical term with an exact meaning, yet powerfully descriptive and not technical sounding at all!

[Quackmaster5]

I like the technical termonology better. Seems to vibe better with the game then this dumbed down wording.

[cltrn81]

Yea I had to read {guild feud} a couple times

[RevanJJ]

I'm so saving up to get a booster box.

Dumbed down?

"fight" carries with its own set of rules that a player has to learn. Deathtouch factors in, first strike and double strike don't. It's not combat damage, even though it seems like it should be.

Terms like fight, dies, battlefield, exile are making the rules more flavorful while reducing the number of words printed on the card. Fewer words means that more abilities can make it on a card.  They are pretty intuitive, but players still need to learn a new term.

This card would never have made it to print if "fight" didn't exist, and I'm happier for it.

Even if it IS dumbing down, Magic needs a little from time to time because each set, each keyword, each card printed adds that much more complexity to the game. They're trying to be mindful of complexity creep. It's not like they are turning it from Chess to Checkers here.

That wasn't the part I was referring to. It was the "you do the same..." that I don't like. It sounds like they are talking to us and not relaying steps.

[Coffee Vampire]

Yeah that part was a little odd.

[BlackJester]

Sorry Quackmaster. 😓
I hear complaints about dumbing down all the time. It was a knee-jerk rant.

I've seen "do the same" on other cards, though I can't think of one off the top of my 🙆.

[Dudecore]

That new Wurm costs 11 mana? Christ.
