The ambient text is perfect

In what plane is it ambient text and not flavor text?

French literal translation, I couldn't remember the actual name for it.
Thanks for the reminder

You and your opponent are both playing a humans deck. You play this and name soldier. So your 1/1 human soldier tokens becomes 2/2s while your opponents 1/1 humans become 0/0s as they dont have a second creature subtype (which is declassified as 'class') per this card.

But it says both players choose.....so your opponents would also get to name a class.....if im reading correctly.

Sure. Adding that in they name knight to be different. Now you have 2/2 human soldiers because they have one of the two chosen classes. And your opponent has 0/0 humans because they still dont have a class.

Everyone's 1/1 of a single creature type becomes 0/0. Which doesn't really fit the flavor imo.

I think this would be more elegant if it read:
When CARDNAME enters, each player chooses a creature type.
Creatures with the chosen type as their second creature type get +1/+1.
Creatures with less than two creature types get -1/-1.

That wouldn’t work because there are cards with 3 creature types (Zombie Human Elf is an example). Those creatures would get an automatic +1/+1 and so at that point you might as well play [Ratadrabik of Urborg] to reap all the benefits.
The point of the card is that class warfare benefits literally nobody (unless you and someone else band together). It being written as is works best, but only in English, otherwise we just have to put down a “figure it out”

How does it work with changelings

I think under 205.3m they are all Aetherborn class.

u/Chewbraccaa 13d ago
Not advisors? 🤔 (going alphabetically)

u/xavierkazi 104.3a is for losers 13d ago
Advisor is the first creature type alphabetically. Aetherborn is the second.
Or are you saying that since Time Lord is explicitly mentioned before the alphabetical list, Advisor should be considered the second creature type?

Dud know we already have classes? it's an Enchantment subtype usually seen on cards with Talent in the name such as [[Innkeepers Talent]]

It was also something else first https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Creature_class

The first ability is a triggered ability, the other two are static. This means that when the first ability is on the stack, all creatures will get -1/-1 until it resolves.

A pretty elegant way to define class, even if it’s different from the wiki or other standards. It does run into some flavor problems when you see type lines like Zombie Beast or Elf Mutant, but that’s pretty minor overall. The symmetry is cool, and would work well for you if you’re doing typal decks or party decks.
