MC - Typos, confusing ability text, grammer etc

Let's keep it separate to the balance/bugs threads, for simplicity's sake. And just the MC stuff.

---

CN-50 Asteroid Cannon: Has an extra 110 attack on defence
High Energy Nebula: it's its
Overload: it's its
Overheard Information: Both players draw cards until they have five in hand
Blood Syphon: attacks a player directly
EY-12 Spy Satellite: revealled revealed

---

Add to the list, or dispute what's up there, and let's keep it out the other threads now.

Edit: Removed any that had been fixed.

the ninjitsu/jutsu one might be ok to leave as is, since it's its name rather than what it is (as in terms of the typo on the spy sat)

for that matter... ju-jitsu is with an I, as is ken-jitsu.

And actually, both spellings of ninjitsu/ninjutsu are considered acceptable.

Okay then, ninjitsu is an acceptable variant of ninjutsu.

SP-39 Arachnid

Current Text Wrote:Allying 6: [Touch Of Death

Reword Proposal? Wrote:Allying 6: Touch Of Death
75%, If SP-39 damages
a monster in combat
it is dizzy-locked

I feel there's no need for the 'otherwise' - after all, you can't dizzy something that's dead anyway, can you? Removing that should erase confusion as that led to people thinking it had a <6 Allying ability (wasn't just me), and also removes the brackets (it doesn't need to build character).

Anything else I've not mentioned?

I would like Space Leech rephrased to "Start turn: attached creature takes X damage" where X is whatever the number was.

Switcheroo uses the word library..... which is maybe a first? and a bit of a huh?


Attatches to own is not a very good sentance, and I have no idea what it does.

ps: any spelling errors are entirely this authors

Yeah, 'library' is entirely new to Switcheroo, and non-CMC terminology (stolen from M:tG). Could make newbies think that Ivory Libraries only contain a certain number of cards, which would be really misleading. Wants to be 'decks' instead.

'Attaches to own' simply means the modifier can only attach to your own entities, and not those of the opponent. The three cards that use this already use four lines of text, so it can't really be expanded upon. But they all use short Modifier Types (device and robot), so it would probably be possible to change the type to 'Attach robot to own monster'. This probably isn't any more easily understandable though, and could be problematic in the future for attaching longer Modifier Types. Probably no solution, so best left as is unless someone can think of something?

since it is -impossible- for a modifier to do ANYTHING in regards to itself I didn't think this specification would be a good idea (because it's not truly what is going on)

WHat happens is that any ability that's triggered or done by a modifier considers the attached entity to be itself, so "(>)(Z) Self is destroyed" would destroy the monster, and dizzy the monster if failed.

Interesting to be told that (I've not properly experimented with mods yet). So, would Electrical Spike stop the passive abilities (generation) of mods attached to effects from going off?

I'll try and salvage a little bit of that and say that the 'Start turn' (or maybe 'Draw phase') may be of merit. I mean, you can assume that much already, but it's better to have it clarified imo.

Although that said, wouldn't 'Draw Phase: Takes X damage' be fine, as it's referencing itself, with self being the monster? I'd probably not use it on this card, as we've got enough space to expand it out, but just wondering?

Should be. I need to go through the mods and clarify most of them actually.

As for whether it blocks mods, it's a good question. i'll have to check where in the code it's stopping when it hits the status effect.

Well, yeah, mostly I just want the start turn in there. The way it sounds now made me think that it'd trigger on my turn and the opponent's turn, getting twice as much damage.
