Not so say that M:tG has not, on several occasions, dropped, changed, or revised card types. Saying "From this point onward, all cards that read 'Shaman' actually mean 'Sorcerer', so when you see 'Shaman' read it as 'Sorcerer,'" is completely possible, even probable. And any reprints going forward would have the same revisions. (And please, apologies for nerd'splaining if you already knew that.)And while I'm assuming some sort of "Shaman-as-a-name-for-a-class," to be published in the book, given how "Shaman-as-a-card-type" are grouped in the Strixhaven card set, some sort of sorcerer with scroll-as-implement would probably be a better match, given they fall into the history nerd college and the theatre kids college. (ETA: For the non-M:tG folk, Strixhaven University is divided into five colleges based on opposing colors of magic. Shaman are the iconic "Red" class. Red is shared by Lorehold College--the history nerds--and Prismari College--the theatre kids/"Art School"). Actually, now that I type that out, just changing/errata'ing/updating Shaman TO Sorcerer in M:tG would solve the "cultural appropriation" concerns, provide that assumed brand synergy between D&D and M:tG, and make more sense to the card type flavor. Also, I'm a fan of D&D sorcerers, so pending what this book looks like, that may be what I do anyway for those two colleges in my setting! Thanks for the idea!</blockquote>
