Keywords

== Overview ==

'''Keywords''' or "'''keyword abilities'''" are words attached to rules text. Many abilities are explained in [[reminder text]], which is recognized by being in parenthesis and italics directly following the keyword.

<div style="background-color: #e3f5f7; border: 1px solid #111111; padding: 10px; padding-top: 0px; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom:20px; margin-right: 100px; margin-left: 100px;">

'''Example'''<br>

*Fear ''(This creature can’t be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or black creatures.)''

</div>

Some keywords would require too much space to define on the card. In these cases only the keyword itself will be present on the card, and the underlying rules will be explained in the [[Comprehensive Rules]]. Examples of common keyword abilities are:

*Flying

*Haste

*Vigilance

The above-mentioned keyword abilities would rarely receive reminder text in an [[Expert Level]] set.

As of November 2006 there are 51 different keyword abilities.
