Typo in the reminder text

Wow, shootout is a very high additional cost. Exile (or maybe discard? reminder text uses both) a card, and the opponent might trump you if they think it's worth it.

On the other hand - the added effect probably IS worth it, here. Which instead makes this a lovely game of "Will they discard something expensive" bluff.

I wonder if "cads" is how "cards" would sound with a Boston-stereotype accent?

Anyway, I changed the reminder text to just exile. I actually would like the card to go to the graveyard after the reveal, but that comes across as more words for limited benefit.
