Undying Malice

On Standard Card Repetition

I am curious about your thoughts of Undying Malice (VOW) and Feign Death (AFR), being functionally identical. The only difference is the name. I’m not criticizing the repeated card, I’m just wondering about the behind the scenes discussions about these two cards both being in Standard at the same time. Is there some benefit to doing it this way, besides being able to play 8 of them?

Sometimes a certain card has the right rules text but the wrong creative, so we give it a new name and art concept. Unless having eight is an issue for play design, we don’t worry about it.
