Card Naming and Similarity Guidelines

Design question : has there ever been time were you decided against a card name because it was too close of another popular card but whitout similarity in effect? Is it a concern at all? (Exemple: using ancestral in a car name that isn t blue nor draw card)

Spectral Lynx used to be called Spirit Lynx, but changed its name as it didn’t have lifelink, which at the time was informally called “spirit link”.

Last Minute Name Change

Have you ever had to change a card's name at the 11th hour, and why?

Spectral Lynx was almost called Spirit Lynx. I got put in charge of the names of the set at last minute and forced them to change it as the card didn’t have lifelink. It was so late we had to fit the name change cub that it didn’t change the collector number.
