I normally don't like doing the errata thing to cards, but in this case I have to agree with Hedge. If a card is going to break the normal rules of the game, it should have such clearly listed in the card text. Thus, if they want to keep the current ruling on Mind Control, they should errata the card.

I want to say they released new version which would make them fall under an MRP(most recent printing) rule. I don't know if they have that rule anywhere though.

I think if Arcane W. would include the errata cards with the new text in Forged in Flames, with all the copies are necessary to play,  players will be very happy and these problems would get a wonderful solution.

We, Spanish, are expecting of a translated version of Mage Wars.

Remember when things like this are proposed, that this will reduce the number of new cards that come out with the set and with the duplicates everyone would want would basically make everyone call it a "weak" set. I am not sure why people do not use the online resource as the final source as card references.

Great resource, up to date, and free....

...and not lying on the table while playing the game.

Personally, I'd pay for an "errata pack" that only contains all cards that were errata'd / changed / extended since the game's original release.

I hope Arcane are clever, so they should not reduce the number of cards of a new pack in order to include the errata ones because they are only their responsability. I am sure it would not suppose a very special cost to them. This is my opinion.

Throw in a few extra die, markers, and tokens and you got something everyone would buy ;)

Now that is something I would pay for. But as we both know, someone will complain the other way. That is the problem with all of this. It is damned if you damned if you don't....

If you want an object of yours with multiple instances of Upkeep +X on it to survive the Upkeep phase, you will have to pay each one.

Yes, I believe the general rule is that +X is cumulative while X without the + sign is not.

Compare Regenerate X and Aegis X with Melee +X and Upkeep +X.

OK but for essence drain does it make a new upkeep on the creature or does it only work on creatures with upkeep already
