no expectation that you can just "fly under the radar" or rely on a 40HP buffer No cards referencing a "commander" No cards or strategies that rely heavily on the deck's intended commander being available Limited complexity All cards' text match their Oracle wording (including in reminder text!) as of January 2022, or have an MPCFill proxy that does No cards with lots and lots of rules text No cards that cause lots and lots of board complexity No cards referencing obscure aspects of the game (the stack, phases...) Few non-evergreen keywords unless they come with reminder text Even for evergreen keywords, when available, card versions with reminder text are used No cards that require the player to search through many unknown cards (their library, someone else's hand, someone else's graveyard...) Not too many types of tokens or counters No cards that have or reference "deprecated" keywords: regeneration, shroud, fear etc
