The Reality Chip

Card Types Ordering

New 07 Jul 2023 Asked by thunderweb 38 Comments

Are there rules on how card types and subtypes are ordered?- Dryad Arbor: "Land Creature" vs "Creature Land"- The Reality Chip: "Equipment Jellyfish" vs "Jellyfish Equipment"- The Royal Scions: "Will Rowan" vs "Rowan Will"


That’s an editing question, but I assume there are rules. I don’t know them. My guess is Rowan and Will’s order was based on the art.

Concerns about Type-line Crowding

New 19 Mar 2022 Asked by j-waffles 56 Comments

I’m really disappointed nameless race isn’t the only creature without a creature type anymore. With the advent of “phyrexian” as a creature type, and with cards like the reality chip or the new shrines being so cramped, I hope a new look is being taken to the type-line on ways to make more room for more wordy type-lines, allowing for fewer cards to invade my special space


With 20,000+ cards, exclusivity of effect/quality really isn’t a luxury we have. I remember when we made Changeling, I got a bunch of messages from players about how we were making Mistform Ultimus less special. Your particular case is an odder case, as we did it out of necessity.We are looking into the issue of crowded creature type lines.

Reprinting Reality Chip

Will you be able to reprint the reality chip with it's typeline intact in new products or will tht probably require some tinkering with the typeline?


It will require getting creative somehow.

The Reality Chip's Creature Type

New 27 Jan 2022 Asked by llanowarminotaur 32 Comments

Was there any discussion during design of making The Reality Chip a Licid rather than a Jellyfish?


While reconfigure is similar in many ways to Licids, it’s not exactly the same and that might cause confusion. Also, creatively, Licids have only appeared on Rath (now Dominaria).

Reality Chip Gameplay vs. Lore

New 27 Jan 2022 Asked by jimharbor 38 Comments

In the lore, the Reality Chip affects planeswalkers but their card doesn't involve them. Why is this? Thank you for asking out questions sir.


Gameplay trumps flavor when the two butt heads. Reconfigure works like equipment and equipment can only equip creatures.
