[Set Release] Outlaws of Thunder Junction roundup
Hi @andrewgioia, just putting a roundup of the new symbols courtesy of the Outlaws of Thunder Junction (OTJ) release.
Arena Ability Symbols: OTJ has three new keyword abilities, and one sort-of-designation.
- Plot is similar to Foretell in that you pre-pay mana to exile the spell then cast it later. Plotted cards are free but can only be cast as a sorcery.
- Saddle is the creature version of Crew.
- Spree is a special version of modal spells where each mode has its own separate cost and you can mix and match the modes however you like.
- Crime is a new term and means any time a player "casts a spell, activates an ability, or puts a triggered ability on the stack and that spell or ability targets at least one opponent; at least one permanent, spell, or ability an opponent controls; and/or at least one card in an opponent’s graveyard." This symbol is not used for spells that are crimes, it's used for cards that get/grant a bonus when a player commits a crime.
Card Symbols OTJ has introduced a new card frame icon for spells with Spree. It's meant to be a way for players to quickly tell when a card has additional costs and those costs are mandatory. The icon itself has no meaning in the rules though, making it similar to the Odyssey block Tombstone icon (labelled as [flashback] in Mana). The Plus icon modifies the right-hand side of a card's title bar and sits after the card's mana cost.
A Spree spell with the Plus icon in the top right corner.
My attempt at a trace.
