Numbers are represented as so:

| | | | | | = 6
# # | | = 10.


Some examples
Spoiler: Show
Heroes' Reunion

-
life # | | |


Spoiler: Show
Shock

-
, | |


Spoiler: Show
First Volley
, sub_type Arcane
-
and, previous_element |


An alternative wording for First Volley:
label , A. andA, A |



Syntax

The syntax works as follows.

Spoiler: Show
is a placeholder, I'll use it for examples.




.
,

In the first line something occurs, for example "you win the game".
In the 2nd line something occurs that requires information, for example paying life, the information, in this case the amount of life is the 2nd .
The 3rd line shows two things occurring one after another.
And finally the last line shows something happening that needs two pieces of information.


| |

The means damage, its given 2 and returns the concept of 2 damage to the next level.


, | |
Now something is delt 2 damage. The means delt, this takes two peices of information instead of 1, so brackets and commas are used.
All the parameters must be calculated before we can continue, being that one is a placeholder, this example cannot work.


, | |

The means target. A target creature is delt 2 damage. The order this would be calculated is:

and
then ,


This could alternatively be symboled as:

| |

The  means that the 2nd thing is related to the 1st, being something the first has, in this case being able to be delt damage. It is also analogous to the previous example.


means or. For example target creature or player would be , .



Meanings

Spoiler: Show
# | | | = 7
= or(a, b, ...)
= delt(target, damage), target delt damage.
= damage(number), number damage.
= instant.
= creature.
= player.
= target one(condition/s).
= controls.

okay, the arrow is "target", the split arrow is "or", the other two in double parentheses are creature and player, and the sun is damage, with the 2 in it being 2. what's the arm?

I thought the 2 was just 2, while the arm/tower/fire/arm thing was damage.

I'd like to see Jace, Architect of Thought .

that seems inefficient. you can just have a symbol that represents "deal X damage" and superimpose a number on it. I'd format shock like this (ignoring pictures)

{deal 2 damage}{target}({creature}{player})

4 symbols. you can define {target}({x}{y}) as "target X or Y". then if you wanted to do first volley or something, you'd go {target}{x}{target}{y}.

I imagined you could be delt life for healing. Like the way the wording has you adding mana or a number of mana to your mana pool instead of just adding numbers.

I also wanted to be able to group things together with 'and' and have something occur to all of them for example.

Welcome to the community!

First use some deck tags so that others will see the cards in your deck:

(deck)20 Mountain
20 Goblin Guide
20 Lightning Bolt(/deck)

Just replace the ( )s with [ ]s:

20 x Mountain
20 x Goblin Guide
20 x Lightning Bolt

I will give u advice after u have completed this task!


I am Red/White

I'm both chaotic and orderly. I value my own principles, and am willing to go to extreme lengths to enforce them, often trampling on the very same principles in the process. At best, I'm heroic and principled; at worst, I'm hypocritical and disorderly.

I was browsing through some cards in gatherer and I noticed something really odd - the transforming cards from Innistrad like Mayor of Avabruck have separate comments and ratings for each side. Isn't that totally stupid? It feels as senseless as having two different pages for each side of a split card or having different pages for Nimble Mongoose with and without threshold.
