I am unhappy about the very standardized templating of today's cards as opposed to the easy-to-understand text on the earliest cards

No , I'm serious . Although I think I can find a better example.

Coming up with weird ideas to make everyone happy since 2008!

I have now started a blog as an appropriate place to put my crazy ideas.

Except maybe Earthbind, which even in its original form was needlessly obtuse, all of those cards are exactly as straightforward now as they were then.

On the other hand, you had cards like Ice Cauldron, Blaze of Glory, Animate Dead and its brethren, Clone, Copy Artifact, False Orders (which is such a mess it practically contradicts itself), Fork, Illusionary Mask, etc. (I went through Alpha cards and made it to "I"), which all either had bizarre wordings, did things in needlessly convoluted ways that the Comp hugely streamlines on similar cards today, or both.
