Batching
Batching is R&D slang term used for the action of taking various (preexisting) game components and then connecting them into a larger group with a new word.[1]
- Historic was the first example of batching.[2] It collectively refers to artifacts, anything with the legendary supertype, and sagas.
- An unreleased example of batching is Mystical, a word that bundled artifacts, enchantments, and Faeries. This was a mechanic considered for Throne of Eldraine.[3]
