They could even do the QR code in different colors as special treatments

[davidlane]

i love how it starts pretty plausible and reasonable then progresses to become more and more unhinged

[ihuntdolphins]

"Why say lot word when few word do trick" 😂😂

[Tetragrammaton]

“You hand? Unlimited!” Made me laugh more than it should have 😂

[ernestomuniz]

"why write out Byrke's whole name?" *flashes back to pithing needle Borborygmos*

[jonathanrobinson]

At least they haven't resorted to Yu-Gi-Oh font sizes (yet.)

[zacharyellis]

I'm glad Prof is putting his English degree to good use!

[Zofield]

I choked on my coffee with the "GAME ACTIONS" and flavor text of "Good luck".

[jaredwonnacott]

"And Nadu, Winged Wisdom just reads GAME ACTIONS! Good luck!" had me dying.

[LaserfaceJones]

Whenever I make a proxy of a card with a mana ability, I add "to your mana pool" back. They'll never take my pool from me.

[NintendoFan]

Changing "CARDNAME" to "this creature" would have been a far better way to save space.

[Deku_]

"You hand? Unlimited!." had me on the floor🤣

[gilbertgottfried]

"GAME ACTIONS!" lmfao
put that image of Nadu on a shirt, take my money

[roninvampire]

"Scanning the QR code explains the card." rolls off the tongue so nicely.

[TierZoo]

Real talk I would really love it if they changed "library" to "deck". I already sub out the term whenever I'm reading off a card. Library is just such a mouthful.

[moonedge]

Even the prof didn't dare to short Graveyard to just GY.

[bigbrainenergyguy]

The funny thing is, hearthstone already solved this problem. "Battlecry" is a keyword in hearthstone that means "when this creature enters the field from your hand."

ETB triggers are so common that it really should have been key-worded by now. Just like with other keywords, commons can have the full rules text in brackets to help new players learn, while rares and mythics don't need the rules text so they can save space. You can imagine it would be something like:

Impact: gain 2 life. _(Impact means this ability triggers when this permanent enters the battlefield.)_

"Why say lot word when few word do trick?"

The Nardu had me ROLLING! hahaha

[BelfryHex]

Now I'm expecting wizards of the coast to retaliate with a secret lair like this naming it "The Tolarian Community College set"

[sepiroth]

You are totally right professor. But we solved this problem of representing logics long ago, it’s called math. We can therefore just represent your cards, so that for example memory would become something like: ETB = d1, H = inf, +1/+1cCY = dT-1. Leaving much more space for more rules text, saving wizards to have to reprint in every langauge, and most importantly making the game much easier to understand!
