What 3 Words (W3W)

W3W (What 3 Words) is an official method that uses three keywords to uniquely identify any 3m by 3m parcel of land on earth.

One may use a similar system to help create unique cards. Since Planeswalkers typically have three abilities, a card creator may use three words to describe a PW, then create abilities from those words. Obviously a PW could be identified with over three keywords, thereby creating many variations of that PW.

I have used this method even before discovering W3W. This makes it easy to meld a card's flavor with mechanics. Especially converting real life people onto cards.

For example, regarding my favorite Korean idol, I created many cards using such sets of keywords for the same person:

1. Refined. Dedicated. Stimulating.
2. Dawn. Rise. Ever.
3. Reliable. Initiative. Clearheaded.
4. High-class. Award-winning. Non-stop.
5. Queen of Popping, Locking, & Hip Swaying.

Etc.

After submitting the keywords, hone in on making abilities appropriate for that card's colors. For simplicity, each keyword would match one ability.

Ex. For a white PW:

• Dawn = untap all friendly creatures.
• Rise = friendly creatures gain flying.
• Ever = resurrect creature or planeswalker card from graveyard or exile.
