Sometimes WOTC likes to make little jokes, like with Shadowfax having the definition of haste printed on it

This isn’t true for color combinations and it’s not even a few cards. Abzan is the only wedge color combination that follows WUBRG. While only Naya and Bant are the only shards that don’t follow WUBRG.

Wait it’s even more genius, besides obviously being USA colors, it’s an older color order, which makes him seem like a relic now in modern times, which cap is in lore.

is there a point to naming every single ability other than to emphasize the flavor

If it’s WUBRG why are the Jeskai printed with blue before white? If it’s following the pentagram shouldn’t it be WUR?

Mana cost pips for 3-color cards are in WUBRG order for shards but not wedges. Jeskai is a wedge. The rule for wedges is: reverse the allied color pair and put the enemy color in the middle. For Jeskai, white/blue are allied, so the order should be blue/red/white.

It’s not that they broke the rule in early days. They hadn’t made the rule yet. They had no particular order established

Nax, the Raven :
Yeah I have an old Teneb that has the BGW order instead of the modern WBG order. It’s because back in the day the wedges had a pattern of going around the wheel and doing “start at a color, go 2, then go 1” where it was essentially the enemy duo + the next color in the wheel, whereas the current standard is “start at a color, go 2, go 2” which gives us a convenient “the middle color and its two enemies” to pair with the “middle color and its two allies” design of shards. So since the enemy duo order is Orzhov, Izzet, Golgari, Boros, and Simic, it used to be Orzhov + Red = Mardu, Izzet + Green = Temur, Golgari + White = Abzan, Boros + Blue = Jeskai, and Simic + Black = Sultai. Now it’s Orzhov + Green = Abzan, Izzet + White = Jeskai, Golgari + Blue = Simic, Boros + Black = Mardu, and Simic + Red = Temur. A change I think they made with OG Tarkir since that was the block centered around Wedges and each identity was “an allied pair and their common enemy” which fit the new pip order better. I personally find pip order design to be interesting as well even if the comments are hating.

Why would it be Blue, Red, White? The color order is WUBRG… White, Blue, Black, Red, Green… so it should be White Blue Red. So all of them are wrong

It’s also a flavor win cause he was in the ice when the mana value changed happened. (This is not actually the lore but a fun idea)

I think the change came from jeskai cards being blue splashing white/red essentially. Definitely could be wrong though.
