  • Cards with Renewal are able to activate different abilities depending on the amount of life the player gained during a turn.
• Resourceful
  • Whenever you draw a card, if that card is not the first card you drew this turn, trigger this effect. This happens up to X times per turn.
• Shuffle
  • Shuffle is an effect that randomizes each Gem’s position on the Gem board to make a new stable (non-cascading) board state.
• Spectacle

• Threshold
  • If you have the specified number of copies of a card with Threshold in your graveyard, the associated ability is triggered.
• Trap
  • Cards with Trap cause their specified amount of gems to become Trap Gems. Whenever your opponent matches a Trap Gem, the associated ability triggers. If you match one of your Trap Gems, nothing happens. When your turn begins, if there are less Trap Gems associated with a card than is specified on the card, new Gems are changed to Trap Gems until the specified amount is met.
• Treasure
  • Treasures are tokens created by Pirates and Pirate-related cards. Match these artifact tokens in order to gain precious Mana!

Other cases (that affect creatures as well)

• Adventure
  • Cards with Adventure are two-sided cards. A Spell side, and a Creature side. Whenever you cast the Spell side, the card returns to your hand as a Creature only and becomes a single-side card.
• Assemble
  • Assemble allows the player to choose which opposing target is going to be attacked by all creatures with Assemble the player's control, like soldiers following an attack command. The player can choose to activate this ability or not by having to match by swapping a non-basic White gem in order to trigger Assemble.
• Cast
  • A card is cast if it's played from your hand or played from another zone by paying its mana cost.
• Disable / Disabled (Affects creatures on the battlefield but also creatures in your hand)
  
  • Creatures on the battlefield that are affected by the Disable effect cannot attack or block. They have all their abilities prevented from working. Cards in your hand can be Disabled as well, this prevents them from auto-cast when they are full of mana.
• Herald
  
  • A card with Herald is originally a support. But, if you have a Herald card in hand while already having the same card in play, the cost of the card in your hand becomes its Herald cost, and when cast, its Herald creature token enters play instead of the support card.
• Outcast
  • Outcast is given to cards in the player’s hand, and the card is then exiled at the end of the turn.
• Split Card
  • Split Cards are those that you can select which side of them you want to play. To do so, tap the flip symbol on the card to change its side. Mana gained charges on both sides, up to a maximum of the cost of the currently selected side. Adventure Cards are examples of Split Cards (with one side being a creature and the other being a spell).

Only support related

• For Mirrodin!
  • It’s an effect that triggers when certain equipment support cards enter the board. It creates a Rebel token (2/2 red Rebel creature with Bravery).
• Lotus Field

• Reconfigure / Reconfigured
  • Support cards with Reconfigure will generate their related tokens if the player has available space on the battlefield, and if they can’t, the Support will Buff the player’s first creature at the beginning of combat.
  • If either the token or the Support is destroyed, their related counterpart will be destroyed as well.
• Resilient
  • Whenever a player matches this support's gem, it gains 1 shield. Then, this support's gem changes its color.
• Vanguard
  • A Vanguard is a special support card representing a Planeswalker. Vanguards have activatable abilities which increase or decrease the amount of shield to perform that specific effect (can be used once per turn per Vanguard). Vanguards are considered Legendary and are also only affected by effects that specifically name Vanguards as targets.

Others

• Blood Token
  • Once a Blood (support) token is created, it binds itself to a gem on the board, enabling different interactions and effects depending on specific card texts.
• Cascade
  
  • A cascade match is (usually) a non-intentional match that is sometimes caused when the board replenishes itself, whenever one or more gems are removed from the board.
• Experience
  • Experience is a counter that affects some Planeswalkers. Some abilities grant or create conditions to generate Experience points that, in turn, make these abilities stronger based on the amount of Experience points the Planeswalker has.
• Harmony
  
  • It’s a passive ability of Arlinn and Wrenn Planeswalkers that represents both Wrenn’s symbiotic relationship with Seven and Arlinn’s dream of harmony between species.
  • Arlinn’s version is similar to the Daybound/Nightbound effects, transforming her whenever the period of the day shifts.

• Improved Gem

• Time Bubble (Invisible Support)
  • When the denied gems are matched by a non-Denied player, a Time Bubble is created, invisible to the owner’s opponent.
