Reverse Polarity

This is Reverse Polarity, a card from Antiquities (1994), later reprinted in Revised

Reverse THE Polarity

This is Reverse The Polarity, a card from Universes Beyond: Doctor Who (2023), which is not Reverse Polarity, pay attention to the added article, because a very important and necessary rule in Magic: The Gathering card naming is that, even through reprints and rethemings, one card name must correspond to one effect

Inversion de polarité

This is Inversion de Polarité, the card from earlier, translated into French, of note here is of course that French doesn't allow nouns to be left alone without an article, and that means that, when translating Reverse The Polarity, you can't add an article, because it is already there; you could in theory have "Inversion de la Polarité", but it is clunky, inelegant construction; so, to keep to the rule that a card with a new effect must have a new noun, the translators of Magic the Gathering in France devised this:

what the fuck

and I've been doing just fine! I don't know how good or bad Magic is right now, but, to be honest, it's just refreshing to get back into this lingua franca of card games; Magic works because it's Magic, because it's always been there and it will always be there, y'know? plus, Magic Arena is objectively the best way to engage with Magic's Standard format, because you don't have to spend any money or go anywhere to have fun with a viable deck

case in point, I got this mono-black decklist from online and I've been having a blast just putting its proverbial boots to people's throats

21 Swamp 2 Cut Down 2 Hero's Downfall 3 Phyrexian Rager 3 Go for the Throat 2 Ghoulish Procession 2 Infernal Grasp 3 Vengeful Strangler 3 Diregraf Scavenger 3 Fell Stinger 4 Okiba Reckoner Raid 3 Cult Conscript 4 Knight of Dusk's Shadow 4 Ashnod's Harvester 1 Tocasia's Dig Site
