Actual card text for "Meklord Emperor Wisel"
Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned by its own effect, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When a face-up monster you control is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Other monsters you control cannot declare an attack. Once per turn: You can target 1 Synchro Monster your opponent controls; equip that target to this card. This card gains ATK equal to those equipped monster's combined ATK. Once per turn, when an opponent's Spell Card is activated: You can negate the activation and destroy it.Excuse me while I vomit.
Looks like Kevin isn't a fan of grammar. I wouldn't have minded the changes so much if they were grammatically correct...
A simple change makes reading the card more pleasant. My take:
Ideal card text for "Meklord Emperor Wisel"
This card cannot be Normal Summoner or Set. This card must be Special Summoned through its own effect, and cannot be Special Summoned through other means. When a face-up monster you control is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Other monsters you control cannot declare an attack. Once per turn, you can target 1 face-up Synchro Monster your opponent controls. Equip the targeted card to this card. This card gains ATK equal to the sum of the monsters equipped to this card through this card's effect. Once per turn, you can negate the activation of a Spell Card and destroy it.
And of course, here was the original intended card effect:

Yeah...the TCG text is pretty garbage...
ReplyDeleteKevin dumbed it down so that 6 year olds won't be going wtf anymore.
ReplyDeleteWhich actually helps because I am absolutely tired of explaining things that are obvious... note I rarely read my own cards more than twice because I know what they do by heart... so this doesn't bother me in the slightest... As long as Wisel's text makes sense and still works as it should it's fine.
