Problem-Solving Card Text?

Hey guys Stitch here and there’s some pretty interesting news. According to Kevin Tewart, Konami’s current U.S. head of development, stated some new changes in card texts. These changes will be produced and introduced to TCG players around July 2011!

• Remove from play your monster!!

So first off remember the phrase “My Chaos Sorcerer will remove from play your monster” well after July we’ll be saying “My Chaos Sorcerer will Banish your monster” Yes, Konami will be changing the phrase “Remove from play” to “Banish. Honestly it does clear up some confusion while reading card effects. (It’s similar to “Removed from the field” and some people get mixed up)

• “Is removed from field” is now “Leaves the field”.

Hey so now we have “banished” and “leaves the field”

• Piercing battle damage.

Remember your Black Winged Armed Wing’s text stating

- “If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, it gains 500 ATK during the Damage Step only. During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower then the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent.” 

Well now it will say

- ““If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, it gains 500 ATK during the Damage Step only. During battle, inflict piercing damage when attacking a defense position monster”

Wow a lot less confusing and easier to read lol!

• “Select as an attack target

This is being changed to “targeted for and attack”

• Hero monsters

Elemental heros, Destiny heros, Evil heros (and the upcoming Masked and Vision heros) will have the “hero” part of their name changed to “HERO”. This will also lead to the simplification of effects. Instead of Stratos’ effect stating “you can add 1 evil hero, elemental hero, or destiny hero card from your deck to your hand” it will be saying “You can add 1 HERO card from your deck to your hand”
