Evergreen
The term "evergreen", as in the context of "an evergreen keyword", refers to keywords that can be used in any set.[1] As the core set has always been the place for new players to start, as of Eighth Edition R&D decided to begin including reminder text with the evergreen creature keywords. [2]
