Haste Rules on Tokens

New 15 Jan 2013 Asked by chewylsb 10 Comments

It kind of bothers me that you keep printing tokens without the Haste rules text (Hellion Crucible, Thatcher Revolt, and now the two cards that make W/R Tokens in Gatecrash). It especially bothers me because there can actually be rules implications that can be derived from the tokens having haste, like mind control effects which players may miss because the tokens don't have the Haste line on them.


Adding haste requires an entirely different frame and thus a different art ratio. It can matter but it matters so infrequently, the decision was not to write haste on them. This allows development to add or delete haste after art has been commisioned.
