In Magic: The Gathering you could argue that there's nothing basic about land cards
Kraven, the Hunter is going to have people building all of the edicts decks, and while I certainly feel like its a valid way to build him, I also think its very uninteresting and will probably lose you friends

Overall, its pretty easy to jot down a basic outline of what you want a card to look like, even if some of the bells and whistles youd wish were there arent present
