Revision as of 10:11, 8 March 2022
with the 2019 errata, can we consider changing the name of these? none of them emulate other cards anymore. My suggestions + rationale:
- Commanders based on the command type. i don't love it though, because it implies the command type, which some of these do not have, which will be confusing for new players who may as well call them Mice
- Pointers because they point to the card they play; name isn't going to be intuitive to anyone who isn't familiar with the computer science term but at this point neither is emulator.
- Cards that play other cards because uh they play other cards; don't love this because it is going to drastically increase the type of card to include stuff like ghost, golem, vassal, venture, etc

- I agree that we should change the name, but I'm not a fan of any of those proposals. Maybe instead of having a general term for cards that do this, we should change the name of this page to Leaving it there, after the (now-)shared rules mechanic rather than the set of cards.
