Xenagos, the Reveler

Token Keywords Issue

New 08 May 2014 Asked by groblin-deactivated20140524 16 Comments

Hi Maro, Love your work. Just wondering why creature tokens within the last couple blocks don't have haste written on them, even when the card that creates says they have haste. Assemble the legion and Xenagos, the Reveler are examples of this. Thank you!


The problem is that tokens with keywords have a different art ratio than vanilla ones. As haste doesn’t usually have an impact beyond the turn they enter the battlefield, we chose not to write it on the token card to allow development the ability to add or remove haste as needed on tokens late into development.
