Rules text
Rules text defines a card's abilities. It is contained within the text box and is not italicized like reminder text or flavor text.
Trinket text
Trinket text is rules text on a card that is more for flavor than mechanics.[1] “Can't be blocked by saprolings” (Vindictive Mob) is an example of trinket text.[2]
