Mechanics
Crime
Crime is an Evergreen that provides buffs to cards if the player has the Crime Emblem. When a player casts a spell with crime, that player's planeswalker will gain a Crime emblem if they don't have one.
Plot
Plot is a numbered Evergreen. When a card with Plot is exiled from a player’s hand while removing the specified amount of mana from cards in hand, it gains the Plotted Emblem. At the end of turn, if a card with Plot has the plotted emblem, it loses the Plot evergreen and returns to hand with full mana. Cards may also have additional effects if they have the Plotted Emblem.
Saddle
Saddle is a Numbered Evergreen that is applied to creatures with the “Mount” subtype. At the beginning of the combat on each player’s turn, if that player controls another creature with power equal or greater to the Mount’s Saddle number, that creature with Saddle becomes Saddled. A Saddled creature can trigger an effect when it attacks or when it becomes Saddled, but also gains “Can’t Block” until the beginning of the player’s next turn, and is the last creature to attack.
Spree
"Spree is a numbered Emblem that a PW will have while a Spree card is in their deck. Cards with Spree also have an Evergreen that grants effects to the card when a player casts a card with spree and matches an equal or higher spree count with the card’s spree effect until the end of the opponent’s turn. For each gem match, the player will increase the spree counter by 1, then at the end of the opponent’s turn the counter returns to 0, thus enabling new buffs on the cards up to the values determined by the spree’s effect."
Outlaw
Outlaw is a hidden subtype added to all Creatures of subtype: Assassin, Rogue, Pirate, Warlock and Mercenary. Changelings count as any of those types.
