I appreciate those of you who have patiently tried to explain this to me. Thank you.

I now see what I was missing before, and I have four suggestions for the REG:

1. Remove Unholy Writ from the Instant Ability Card List and add it to the Ongoing Ability Card List (maybe under miscellaneous or see suggestion #3).

2. Include "Manually Triggered Abilities" inside the definition of "Triggered" in the glossary (Maybe as a see "Manually Triggered" with a link). The Glossary list is very long and easy to miss key parts. I had no idea that "Manually Triggered" was on the list. I went immediately to "Triggered," which does not include the "Manually Triggered" definition. I thought y'all were just stating it as a well known idea.  ;D

3. Add "Manually Triggered Abilities" to the Ongoing Abilties list.

4. "Play As" and "Errata" for cards in the REG need to be more clearly distinguishable. Either strike out the original wording or put the new SA in bold (for example). I sometimes do not even notice "Play As" when I am looking for a fast ruling.

Hey,

I almost don't want to say this because I imagine quite a few players are already frustrated with all of the talk about the new REG despite the fact that they haven't seen any results.  But I don't want to make it appear like we are ignoring YMT's suggestions so I'll go ahead and say it.

The card list part of the REG is archaic.  It's basic design assumes that cards only have one special ability (or at least that one special ability is the "dominant" special ability) which simply is no longer the case, and hasn't been for several years.  The problem is if we change the card list now then as soon as the new REG comes out we'll have to do significant changes to it again.  So instead I'm waiting until we get the new REG out and then I'll start working on some major changes to the card list.  With how long it's taking to get the new REG out that may sound to people like the new card list will never arrive, but the new card list won't take the collaboration that the new REG is taking (it'll just be a reorganization of information rather than changing the information) and the collaboration is what is delaying the new REG, so the card list improvements shouldn't take nearly as long.

Tschow,
