Didact Echo

Descend Mechanic Explanation

New 25 Oct 2023 Asked by bergdg 49 Comments

I'd like to voice a concern with how descend is being used for two separate - albeit connected things. With "descended" meaning "putting a permanent card into the graveyard from anywhere," I can see there being confusion with Descend X not meaning "putting X permanent cards in the graveyard" (eg. Didact Echo only having flying on turns where 4 permanents were put into a graveyard this turn). I know this will mostly be figured out from learning, but it might have been preferable to have a different ability word (such as Depths - even works as Fathomless Depths).


There was much discussion about language, and we decided having them connected was better than having them not connected verbally.
