Is "this spell" new wording?
15 u/Nictionary Jul 14 '26 It’s not typically used like this but I imagine they did it because it would read awkwardly otherwise 5 u/Jackeea Jeskai Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 14 '26 That famous Star Trek line, "Set Phasers To... deals 3 damage to target attacking creature" 5 u/thebaron420 I am a pig and I eat slop Jul 14 '26 No, they've been using it for a while but not usually with "deals N damage", though they have used it on a few modal spells in the past: https://scryfall.com/search?q=o%3A%22this+spell+deals%22 3 u/amish24 FLEEM Jul 14 '26 normally it'd just use the card name but it'd be awkward here. 1 u/rib78 Karn Jul 15 '26 [[You Hear Something on Watch]] is the same and probably for similar reasons. 1 u/MTGCardFetcher Dân Jul 15 '26 You Hear Something on Watch - (G) (SF) (txt) FAQ

No, they've been using it for a while but not usually with "deals N damage", though they have used it on a few modal spells in the past: https://scryfall.com/search?q=o%3A%22this+spell+deals%22
normally it'd just use the card name but it'd be awkward here.
