Anyone have any suggestions on cards that have some awkward text that could be better worded?

I came across a post when someone mentioned that Shantotto is worded a bit weird and doesn't mention removing all the forwards from the game FROM THE FIELD when all the other removal cards have a target. Even Ultima specifies to remove them from the field, so Shantotto could use a little editing to copy Ultima's wording, especially if they plan to go forward with another Opus I printing.

I would hope that this TCG will get better templating. I know that if I looked back at the older Magic sets there are some oddly worded, non-standard text describing abilities and whatnot. If anything, FFTCG should have learned from this and created a language that is consistent between cards.

In the case of Shantotto, I initially would've removed ALL forwards from the game because of how it's worded. I wouldn't even think about whether they're on the field or in the player's deck or break zone.

Yep, that's why Shantotto's text should be updated to be like Ultima's text and specify forwards on the fields.

There's going to be a new Opus I wave release soon. I guess we'll see if they've fixed her text or not.
