"can't have or gain" is redundant, according to Cranial Insertion: "can't have" is sufficient
I don't see the problem. This is the template on Archetype of Courage...
There's no problem, but the Archetypes are more wordy than necessary. The Archetypes have three aspects: "lose", "can't have", and "can't gain". Arcane Lighthouse though simplifies this down to two, "lose" and "can't have". In fact, it seems "can't have" would be sufficient to accomplish the same, but they decided to keep "lose" in there for clarity.
I'm all for reducing the number of words, so I was removing "or gain" from this card, to match the terminology update on Arcane Lighthouse.
Eh, maybe they'll update the wording in the next Multiverse/rules update. Speaking of, I thought there would've been one already for Commander 2014... Or is it only with Standard sets now?
