Expedition: When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, if it's your destination, {effect}. In any case, name another land card as your next destination. Used on 2 cards: Royal Palace, Hidden Waterfall

This ability word represents a journey across multiple locations. The "in any case" is an add-on to the current rules for intervening if clauses. Hopefully it's clear what's meant.



In card text or details pages, write the mechanic's code name (playtest name) between square brackets, like "[Crittercast]", "[Bushido 1]" or "[Delay 4 {2}{R}{R}]". It will be expanded to the mechanic's name plus reminder text, such as "Suspend 4 – {2}{r}{r}. (Rather than cast this spell from your hand,...)"
To expand a mechanic's name but not its reminder text, include parentheses at the end of the square brackets: "[Crittercast()]", "[Delay 9 {R}()]".
