Anchor word

An anchor word is a word that precedes a choice on a modal spell, to give the respective abilities a bit of flavor and signify the choice when it enters the battlefield. Anchor words don't have a specific rule attached to them, but always tie the existence of a continuous effect to the choice.
==History==
Anchor words were introduced in Fate Reforged, where the "Siege"-cycle featured the choice between "Khans" and "Dragons". 
Anchor words also appeared in Unstable and Modern Horizons. The flavor words from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms have a similar function. Those involving a modal choice can be accounted as anchor words as well. However, many of those do not meet the condition of it being an enters the battlefield-ability.
Anchor words are now considered to be deciduous.

==Rules==
==Rulings==
*The anchor word "Dragons" has no connection to the creature type Dragon. 
*Will of the council options from Conspiracy, and Council's dilemma options from Conspiracy: Take the Crown are not anchor words, because they don't represent a modal choice. The voting is just voting for arbitrary words and referring to how many times certain votes were received.
