Can Keywords help clean up Weiss Schwarz’s loose jargon problem?
This week, IgorSquatslav convenes the panel to discuss hard to understand jargon used in competitive Weiss Schwarz. Taking inspiration from Zabuton’s article about just how expansive the term Riki has become. The term Riki comes from a specific level 0 card from the Little Busters Anime Weiss Schwarz set that allows you to search for a card that is level 1 or lower for the cost of one stock and one clock damage. Riki now encompasses almost any beneficial effect that costs one clock and one stock.
PlatPlat offers a solution: More keywords. If there are single word definitions for common effects, such as Deathtouch in Magic: The Gathering, then it gives players a creator approved and standardized shorthand. We cover some potential keywords such as standardizing taking the top card from your clock and placing it in your waiting room as “heal,” or retrieving characters from the waiting room as “salvage.”
