Adding some context: The new symbol is called "pawprint" and it is used as a points system on a single cycle of modal cards in Bloomburrow. The pawprints allow a player to choose multiple modes but only in certain combinations and with an upper limit, unlike Multikicker.
Pawprints are like a resource, but are explicitly not a resource. Players can't generate or earn pawprints. You don't get pawprint counters. Unused pawprints don't float in a pool or carry over step and phases. They only exist as the spell is cast when choosing modes. Each individual card defines the maximum number of pawprints you can utilize and whether using them all is optional or mandatory.
The plaintext equivalent to the pawprint symbol is {P}
. Prior to Bloomburrow, this was the plaintext for Phyrexian mana (as noted in the Mana documentation). The plaintext for Phyrexian mana is being changed to {H}
as of Bloomburrow.
