Functional reprint

Functional reprint cards serve the exact same function as the card they resemble except for the name, of course.

Unlike strict reprints, a functional reprint only needs identical mana cost, power/toughness and rules text. Subtypes may differ.

This usually has little effect on the game, hence their consideration as a kind of reprint. Functional reprints do not often emulate powerful cards, as they effectively allow some constructed formats access to more than four copies of the same card. Many functional reprints are either of vanilla creatures (creatures with no abilities), or occurred in the Portal sets. Functional reprints are often used to give a new block- or set-themed flavor to a card that plays an important role in defining a particular color.
