Vanguard games will coin terms that eventually become commonplace. For example it's now common in games to use terms like cleave, strafe, aoe, etc.
The reason it took people long to accept mill is because WotC themselves fail to see the big picture. The public will only defer to and trust canon. The sooner WotC made it canon, the sooner people would have embraced this new terminology.
perhaps in any other set, the name would fail the flavor test. however Ikoria the monster world shows a feral side to white that fits. it's like Torment/Innistrad showing the blacker side of other colors, Ikoria brings out the green in other colors.

; rules text ; mana brackets now supports any contiguous length of mana codes
ex. {2gg2/w} is now valid in rules text
pro-tip: you can omit brackets in the 'mana cost' field.
there are a lot of reasons I won't be using the official Magic fonts. however there are benefits to the fonts I chose. mainly they are highly legible and support advanced Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters.
; vogon HD, LS, split frames ; make art pop out toward viewer, 3d illusion effect
; art, watermark, set icon ; allow special instructions at end of URL; can chain multiple instructions; crop, rotate, alpha, flip, flop
Art instructions:
##crop, x, y, w, h
##rotate, degrees
##alpha, value (between 0.0 and 1.0)
##flip (around x-axis)
##flop (around y-axis)
The mechanic cost should show the final cost, and be an alternative cost.
ex.
Blazing Touch 3R
Invert 4RR (You may pay this spell's invert cost instead of its mana cost when you cast this spell. If you do, resolve its effects in reverse order).
[[Major Changes]]
= new Vogon LS frames = landscape format, for arts that stretch lengthwise from left to right = see attachments for examples

= default set icon for all cards
[[Minor Changes]]
= updated hints page
= improved planeswalker rules height proportions to accommodate short abilities
= rules text centered for most frames = for some frames, rules may be pushed toward bottom
= Vogon frames' card names appear bigger = box is slightly taller to fit bigger font size
