(Creatures with haste, creatures with trample, and instant and sorcery spells with no targets are wild.)
Wild is a batching Keyword (like historic).

Biodiversity [Simic]
Biodiversity N (Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, if it shares no creature types with other creatures you control, put N +1/+1 counters on this creature.)
Biodiversity only goes on creatures.

Enact [Azorius]
Enact N (Reveal the top five cards of your library. Put an enchantment card from among them into your hand or onto the battlefield if it's a Law with converted mana cost N or less. Put the rest on the bottom in any order.)
Law is an enchantment subtype with no inherent mechanical definition that can be referenced by this mechanic and other cards (Like arcane for instant/sorceries and cartouche for auras).
