The general idea is to replace card names used as self-references with things like \u201cthis creature.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/magic.wizards.com\/en\/news\/feature\/foundations-release-notes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Their stated intent<\/a> is to make it more clear that such references only refer to one particular object and not to all objects with that name. In the <em>Foundations<\/em> update, only the cards from that set received these new templates. Likewise, the release of <em>Innistrad<\/em> <em>Remastered<\/em> updated only cards reprinted in that set. With <em>Aetherdrift<\/em>, WotC has taken the big step and updated all the remaining cards from <em>Magic<\/em>\u2019s entire history. Slightly more than 13,000 cards received updates to their Oracle text with this update; this makes the <em>Aetherdrift<\/em> update probably the largest update ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What follows is an analysis of the new templates and how they are used. WotC has not published a detailed explanation themselves, so everything is based on my own conclusions after having read through and cataloged these 13,000 updates into <a

Then again, the combination of first using \u201cthis spell\u201d and then switching to the card name within the same ability doesn\u2019t read great to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, there\u2019s one exception in <a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/Pages\/Card\/Details.aspx?multiverseid=640281\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bygone Marvels<\/a>, which uses \u201cthis spell\u201d in both places. However, this seems correct to me, because the template for spells that copy themselves is \u201ccopy this spell.\u201d The current text of Bygone Marvels is therefore consistent with the general templates for spell abilities, but this makes Malicious Affliction inconsistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think at least Malicious Affliction should change to \u201cthis spell,\u201d so that there\u2019s consistency with Bygone Marvels and with self-copying spells. Personally, I would also change the four cards from <em>Planar<\/em> <em>Chaos<\/em> to use \u201cthis spell,\u201d because the current template reads weird to me.

There are quite a few inconsistencies, however: some characters lost what clearly looks like a family name, while others kept a title that should have been removed. What counts as a family name or a byname is subjective, but there are certain trends, and the following cards don\u2019t follow them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cards which omit the character\u2019s alleged family name: Hazezon Tamar, Edgar Markov, Verix Bladewing, Drizzt Do&#8217;Urden, Henrika Domnathi, Runo Stromkirk, Kaito Shizuki, Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, Elanor Gardner, Ryan Sinclair, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and Alta\u00efr Ibn-La&#8217;Ahad. The vampires from Innistrad are particularly strange, since Sorin Markov, Olivia Voldaran, and Anje Falkenrath all use their full name. Verix Bladewing is inconsistent with her son Tarox Bladewing, who uses his full name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Titles or bynames are dropped if they are separated with a comma or if they have the form \u201cof [somewhere]\u201d or \u201cthe [something].\u201d Otherwise, they are mostly kept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cards which should omit the character\u2019s title or byname: Sakashima the Impostor (see Lazav, the Multifarious); Queen Allenal of Ruadach (see General Kudro of Drannith); Anrakyr the Traveller; Kh\u00e2rn the Betrayer; Lucius the Eternal; Magnus the Red; The Balrog of Moria; Nyssa of Traken; Blue, Loyal Raptor; Ian the Reckless. Ulrich of the Krallenhorde should omit the byname in the second ability (see Ulrich, Uncontested Alpha). The \u201cBlackblade\u201d in \u201cGideon Blackblade\u201d should probably not count as an actual byname for this character and be omitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cards which should not omit the character\u2019s byname: Rasputin Dreamweaver, Zurgo Helmsmasher, Zurgo Bellstriker, Arni Brokenbrow, Zoyowa Lava-Tongue, Imskir Iron-Eater, and Hurska Sweet-Tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special group are characters with an adjective as a byname. Eleven of these cards have a self-reference in their rules text. Six of them drop the byname, while five keep it; going by the majority and by personal preference, the following five should omit the byname: Withengar Unbound, Borborygmos Enraged, Ertai Resurrected, Polukranos Reborn, and Jace Reawakened (using the card name at all may be inconsistent for this last one though, see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"castingmodifiers\">Cards which restrict or modify when and how they are cast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <em>Magic: The Gathering Foundations<\/em> update, the rules text of four cards which state that they can\u2019t be cast under certain conditions was changed to use the card\u2019s name instead of \u201cthis spell.\u201d These four cards are: Rock Jockey; Serra Avenger; Rakdos, Lord of Riots; Jace Reawakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66%\">\n<p>Jace Reawakened<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>{U}{U}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legendary Planeswalker \u2014 Jace<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t cast Jace Reawakened during your first, second, or third turns of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>+1: Draw a card, then discard a card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>+1: You may exile a nonland card with mana value 3 or less from your hand.

Therefore, the decision was made to use the card name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this is correct. As per CR 113.6e, these abilities function on the stack and in any zone from which the specific card (or copy of a card) can be cast. Using the card name for these abilities follows the guideline that abilities which function in multiple zones should use the card name if those zones don\u2019t share a single template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, inconsistencies appear when these four cards are compared with other cards with similar abilities. The largest category are cards which read \u201cCast this spell only [at a specific time or if some condition is met],\u201d such as Grim Wanderer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66%\">\n<p>Grim Wanderer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>{1}{B}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creature \u2014 Goblin Warlock<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Flash<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tragic Backstory \u2014 Cast this spell only if a creature died this turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>5\/3<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:34%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/Handlers\/Image.ashx?size=small&amp;type=card&amp;multiverseid=527394\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/Pages\/Card\/Details.aspx?multiverseid=527394\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Gatherer<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/scryfall.com\/card\/afr\/107\/grim-wanderer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Scryfall<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These abilities function exactly the same as the ones of Jace Reawakened &amp; Co. They are governed by CR 113.6e and thus function in multiple zones. Each group can even be rewritten to match the other group. For example, Grim Wanderer\u2019s ability could be changed to read \u201cYou can\u2019t cast this spell unless a creature died this turn,\u201d and Rakdos\u2019s ability could be changed to read \u201cCast Rakdos only if an opponent lost life this turn.\u201d Since they are functionally the same, both groups should use the same template. Either Jace Reawakened &amp; Co. revert back to the slightly inaccurate \u201cthis spell\u201d or the larger group of sixty-seven cards is changed to use card names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next group are cards which can be cast as though they had flash. These are: Grave Servitude, Soar, Armor of Thorns, Lightning Reflexes, Ward of Lights, Necromancy, Mystic Veil, Spider Climb, Parapet, Relic Ward, Rout, Breaking Wave, Twilight&#8217;s Call, Ghitu Fire, Saproling Symbiosis, Qasali Ambusher, Dragon Grip, Hungering Yeti, Swift Reckoning, Timely Ward, Oakshade Stalker, Silver Scrutiny, Asinine Antics, Tegwyll&#8217;s Scouring, Mystical Tether, and Harbinger of Tides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66%\">\n<p>Rout<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>{3}{W}{W}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorcery<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>You may cast this spell as though it had flash if you pay {2} more to cast it. <em>(You may cast it any time you could cast an instant.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Destroy all creatures.

(In this group, Qasali Ambusher was incorrectly changed to \u201cthis creature\u201d and Harbinger of Tides was not changed at all and still uses the nonstandard \u201cthis card.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haakon, Stromgald Scourge\u2019s unique ability was changed to use \u201cthis card.\u201d This ability functions in all zones and even outside the game, and all the arguments for Jace Reawakened &amp; Co. apply yet again to Haakon and copies of Haakon, so Haakon should become part of that group. (Meanwhile, Grist, the Hunger Tide continues to use the card name for its ability that functions everywhere but the battlefield, so at least that one\u2019s okay).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last group are cards that actually gain flash as long as a certain condition is met (unlike the previous ones which behave <em>as though<\/em> they had flash). These are: Crashing Tide, Mutual Destruction, Supernatural Rescue, Graveyard Shift, Take for a Ride, and Colossal Rattlewurm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66%\">\n<p>Crashing Tide<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>{2}{U}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorcery<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>This spell has flash as long as you control a Merfolk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Return target creature to its owner&#8217;s hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Draw a card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:34%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/Handlers\/Image.ashx?size=small&amp;type=card&amp;multiverseid=439691\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/Pages\/Card\/Details.aspx?multiverseid=439691\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Gatherer<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/scryfall.com\/card\/rix\/34\/crashing-tide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Scryfall<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the previous groups, these abilities only function on the stack.

These should change to match the other four. Or maybe the older four should change if all the other cards mentioned in this section are changed to use their card names; while it would be inaccurate for this group in particular, these abilities are superficially similar and might benefit from a single uniform template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"future\">The future<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The card image gallery for the upcoming release <em>Tarkir: Dragonstorm<\/em> shows corrections of some of the errors listed above.
