'''Keywords''' or "'''keyword abilities'''" are words attached to rules text and that represent an ability that is constant.
== Overview ==
 
'''Keywords''' or "'''Keyword Abilities'''" are words that contain rules text. Many abilities are explained in [[Reminder text]], which is recognized by being in parenthesis and italics directly following the Keyword. Example:
 
   
 
[[Category:Mechanics]]
*Fear ''(This creature can’t be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or black creatures.)''
 
 
But others are very common or would require too much space to define on the card. In these cases only the Keyword itself will be present on the card, and the underlying rules will be explained in the [[Comprehensive Rules]]. Examples of common Keyword Abilities are:
 
 
*Flying
 
*Haste
 
*Vigilance
 
 
The above-mentioned Keyword Abilities would rarely receive reminder text in an [[Expert Level]] set.
 
 
 
As of May 2006 there are '''53''' different Keyword Abilities.

Below is a complete list of all 54 Keyword Abilities.
 
 
[[First Strike]], [[Flanking]], [[Flying]], [[Haste]], [[Landwalk]], [[Protection]], [[Shadow]], [[Trample]], [[Banding]], [[Bands with Other]], [[Rampage]], [[Cumulative Upkeep]], [[Vigilance]], [[Phasing]], [[Buyback]], [[Horsemanship]], [[Cycling]], [[Echo]], [[Fading]], [[Kicker]], [[Flashback]], [[Threshold]], [[Madness]], [[Fear]], [[Morph]], [[Amplify]], [[Double Strike]], [[Provoke]], [[Storm]], [[Affinity]], [[Entwine]], [[Equip]], [[Imprint]], [[Modular]], [[Scry]], [[Sunburst]], [[Bushido]], [[Soulshift]], [[Splice]], [[Defender]], [[Offering]], [[Ninjutsu]], [[Epic]], [[Enchant]], [[Convoke]], [[Dredge]], [[Transmute]], [[Substance]], [[Bloodthirst]], [[Haunt]], [[Replicate]], [[Forecast]] and [[Graft]].
