With the release of Alison's set I've decided to go back through the old sets and make some QoL changes, mainly to the new keywords. The idea being I want to make sure have them makes sense and their practicality in-game.
After some thought some of the new keywords can be removed and replaced with already existing keywords and mechanics that are in vanilla.
Stuff that needs changing :-
Override :- A good idea in theory, however mechanically it's exactly the same as the card being modal. So this is a simple fix and now these cards are now modal instead.
Funnel/Selfish :- I love the mechanic of being able to spend more mana to avoid negative effects (in the case of funnel) or to be the only player to get the benefits (in the case of selfish), however the wording for these cards can be very odd, especially in the case of selfish. After some thought I think it's best to just use a keyword that's already in vanilla to not cause confusion but can still fulfill both of these effects, so I've gone for Cleave which is perfect for these.
Examples :- Left image before - right image after
