What's up with not using keywords on cards that have rules text of keyword abilities? Ex. Metalcraft on inventor's fair, or morbid on life goes on.

We don’t use keywords outside of a set that uses them. The ongoing nature of the game means we have to keep isolating elements for themes. We name them within that world, but we need the ability to touch upon things without having to always label them. Landfall, for example, shouldn’t mean triggering off of lands being played shouldn’t happen outside of Zendikar.
