In this place, we know to respect and listen to our ancestors… and they lend us their power!

Restore is a numbered evergreen similar to Aftermath. When the card with Restore is put into the graveyard, and at the beginning of your turn, if it is in your graveyard, it will create activated gems equal to the Restore value.

If you control a creature, destroying one of the activated gems allows you to perform additional effects, and the Restore card is exiled.

That’s not the only way our family remains with us. Stay around to find more.

    Why is it called Restore instead of Renew?

    We already have Renewal - might get confusing?

    @TheHunter That's the best explanation I've heard so far. But is it more or less confusing to have two similar names then to have mtg not match mtgpq? Exhaust and Expend are similar names that both exist and that hasn't seemed to be a problem.

    Kind of a gamble if that's the reason. We're in this situation because renewal was added as an mtgpq word that doesn't exist in mtg and now it's a conflict. If we're making up restore to resolve the issue then we're hoping mtg doesn't make restore later and continue to further diverge the names between the games.

    Haha, I mean we already have cards with identical names and artwork that do different things (eg. Ignite the Beacon) so slightly similar ability names shouldn't have been a problem.

    Yeah the reprint system where whenever a card appears in a set after already being in a prior gets a new design is interesting. That kind of makes sense though because if they made it exactly the same as the previous version and weren't treated as the same card for where they're legal to play it would be really weird or require a lot of changes to make them interchangable. So it does work better to make them functionally different. Though I'm pretty sure that the only cards with more than one version are all PMA for one of the two versions. I have bo idea why that is.
