I’ve one other query that highlights the significance of appropriately wording card textual content and/or the necessity to learn the textual content of earlier editions of many Magic playing cards (and never solely the out there Oracle Textual content).
Let’s suppose Energetic Participant has a Wardscale Dragon in play from a number of turns, and it is the one creature in play.
It is the draw part, and instantly after drawing the cardboard, the Defending participant –
who has 4 life remaining solely –
decides to play his final Magic card:
particularly, a reprint from one of many newer units.
Defending participant is aware of completely the textual content of the White Dragon card the Energetic participant owns, and subsequently hopes to avoid wasting himself by casting Fog earlier than the Assault part,in an effort to keep away from it,since he cannot forged no extra spells through the assault part
(earlier than harm is assigned).
He believes every little thing is okay, as a result of the current card textual content would not point out the necessity to forged Fog through the Assault part.
So, he tries to stop any harm whereas additionally evading the safety from spells offered to Energetic Participant by the White Dragon.
The Energetic participant, nonetheless, reveals to the Defending Participant a Fog card from the very early Magic units, which clearly states {that a} Participant should:
- “play [Fog] any time earlier than assault harm is dealt.”
This outdated card textual content admits that Fog needs to be forged through the Assault Section (earlier than harm is assigned).
The defending participant, nonetheless, nonetheless complains, mentioning the entire absence of a selected Fog Ruling in its newest reprints.
Lastly, my query clearly finally ends up with this:
-“Who is true?”
Thanks a lot.
