maybe even already today....but especially in the future, this card is going to look weirder and weirder for having Shroud. :P The ONLY Evergreen word to get kicked out of MAGIC since BANDING -_-

I'm not sure what was wrong with unblockable. I never remember getting confused when a Phantom Warrior attacked me.

@Ferlord: The problem wasn't people's ability to understand what "unblockable" meant. They changed it because people kept thinking unblockable was a keyword ability.
Normally, that doesn't affect anything, but it does occasionally make a rules difference. Say you cast Sudden Spoiling while a creature is equipped with Whispersilk Cloak. As it stands, "equipped creature can't be blocked/is unblockable" is an ability of Whispersilk Cloak, not the creature, thus the creature still can't be blocked despite losing all its abilities. However, if unblockable were a keyword and the cloak said "Equipped creature has unblockable," it would lose unblockable just like it would lose shroud.
I do agree, though, unblockable was a lot cooler to say and I'll miss it dearly.
