Shoot the Sheriff

Trinket Text Example

what would be an example of trinket text?is the Shoot the Sheriff one?

No, that text matters a lot in limited. Baneslayer Angel’s protection from demon and dragons is an example.

Card Flavor Text Praise

Heyo Maro!I just wanted to say, the card I'm low key most excited about from OTJ is definitely Shoot the Sheriff, and it's for the "Everyone else is fair game" in its reminder text. Reminder text is just such a perfect place to bring back some more of the individual, quirky, just-this-card-in-a-vacuum flavour that was such a strength of early magic, while keeping the rules text itself the well oiled machine that it needs to be now, it suddenly seems like such a waste that all that non-rules-bearing text on cards has been so dry for the last… 20 years?!If having looser and more flavour-first reminder text is a tool that's open now, it could eventually end up having a huge impact on the words the players are actually reading game-on-game, and I'm very excited to see where that could go. Well done to all involved! More of this! 👏👏❤️

I’m on board. : )

Flavor Text Discrepancy

Hi Mark! There is a huge flavor fail in OTJ that I'm wondering how it got made, Shoot the Sheriff can't target Silver Deputy despite Shoot's flavor text explicitly calling out for the Deputy?

“ I shot the sheriff. But I didn’t shoot no deputy.”

Card Power Assessment

Shoot the Sheriff seems rather overpowered. In any format other than OTJ Limited, it basically says "destroy target creature." Do you have any idea why this card is 1B when things like Victim of the Night and Walk the Plank are BB?

We expect it to see some Standard play, but it’s not as overpowered as I think you think it is. The restriction is also more meaningful than it might seem at first glance.

Praising Reminder Text

The reminder text of "Shoot the Sheriff" is just excellent, kudos!

Thanks.

Casual Rules Text

Is flavor rule’s text going to be a thing now? The phrasing on Shoot the Sheriff seems oddly casual for rules text.

Shoot the Sheriff {1}{B}Instant Destroy target non-outlaw creature. (Assassins, Mercenaries, Pirates, Rogues, and Warlocks are outlaws. Everyone else is fair game.)

It’s reminder text. Reminder text is looser than rules text.
