Wizards of the Coast added a new Magic: The Gathering term called Finality counters within Lost Caverns of Ixalan—and the term is here to stay, according to game designer Mark Rosewater.
New terms have been emerging as WotC continues to expand upon the design space within Magic. Players have started to see effects changing over time as well, like the “only this turn” effect that keeps cards from being broken within a format. But sometimes, those limitations keep a card from becoming playable as well and it’s a fine line MTG designers have to work around to keep the design space fresh and enjoyable at the same time. A new term called Finality counters was introduced within Lost Caverns of Ixalan, acting as an “only this turn” clause for reanimated creatures, which Rosewater confirmed on Nov. 22 through Twitter that players “will see again.”
