fixed oracle wording

by Doombringer:

This wording is still pretty confusing, especially for a common.

by Alex:

I think it's fine. Remember these are "duel decks" not intended to come out of boosters, so rarity doesn't mean quite the same thing (though it's not irrelevant either).

by Jack V:

I don't know what the wording was before, but couldn't the current wording be shortened to "If ~ dies while attacking,..."

by dude1818:

Then it wouldn't be a triggered ability. This is the correct template according to Cathedral Membrane.

by jameschanlee:

Yes, I hate it. I agree with Doombringer, kind of confusing. Before, it was simply "When ~ dies while it's attacking...", but someone pointed out that Cathedral Membrane is the correct templating and now it's unintuitively crap. Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

I can replace it with "When ~ dies, if it attacked this turn..." which is not the same but similar enough, and avoids two confusing clauses.

by Doombringer:

This card needs changing... Ok alternate wording time: Whenever CARDNAME attacks, it gains "When it dies, each opponent loses 4 life." until end of turn.

CARDNAME cant block. When CARDNAME dies during combat, each opponent loses 4 life.

Sacrifice CARDNAME: Each opponent loses 4 life. Activate this ability only if CARDNAME is blocked.

by Vitenka:

Or just ignore the templating team and use the intuitive wording?

If you can say "when ~ is put into the graveyard during combat" I don't see why you can't say "when ~ dies while attacking" just the same way.

by Doombringer:

Ok final wording suggestion: "When CARDNAME dies, if its attacking, defending player loses 4 life."

by Doombringer:

Actually looking at Avacyn's Collar makes me think this should be worded: "When CARDNAME dies, if it was attacking, defending player loses 4 life."

Before:

Infested Terran {2} {b}
Creature - Zerg Soldier [c]
When Infested Terran dies, if it attacked this turn, target opponent loses 3 life.
2/1

Since Mutalisk is not discard anymore, gave the discard ability to this guy.

2/1 -> 3/1. before: When ~ dies, if it was attacking, defending player discards two cards

2B 3/1 -> 1B 2/1

2018-11-13 01:05:32: jameschanlee edited Infested Terran:

before: When ~ becomes blocked, sacrifice it and defending player discards two cards.. Now: Black cat

2/1 -> 1/1

by Tahazzar:

So close to a functional reprint of Black Cat. It's target player instead of target opponent :)
