Problem-Solving Card Text
Revision as of 21:12, 12 August 2011 by Nicholas Ranayhossaini (talk)
Problem-Solving Card Text was an update to card lore text, starting with the release of Generation Force,[1] with the intent to simplify card effects to the point that most situations could be resolved simply by applying logic.[2] It was announced by Kevin Tewart through a series of blog posts to Konami's Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's TCG Strategy Site.[2][3]
Currently announced changes include:
- "Remove from play" → "Banish"[4]
- "Is removed from the field" → "Leaves the field"[4]
- "During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent." → "If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing Battle Damage to your opponent."[4]
- "Selected as an attack target" → "Targeted for an attack"[4]
- "Hero" → "HERO"[4]
- Conditions are now denoted with a colon (:).[5]
- Activation text is now denoted with a semicolon (;).[5]
- Special Summoning origin is now denoted with parentheses (()).[6]
- "[This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set.] This card can only be Special Summoned by..." → "Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Special Summoned..."[6]
- "[This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set.] This card cannot be Special Summoned except by..." → "Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned..."[6]
