Wording of Voodoo Doll

[az4rel]

if this creature is alive all damage and status previously taken, is inflicted to enemy if not already.

just an idea.

Pretty damned close. I'm a little worried about "...status already taken" tho...will a poisoned Voodoo Doll transfer its status if TU'd? I didn't think so but I'm not sure.

Strangely enough a TU'ed Voodoo Doll does not re apply poison.

but it does reaply the other status?
edit: cause a little except for poison. still fits on the card.
edit edit. no bad idea the except for poison. would be confusing.

why change something that 99% of the people understand and the rest can review the forum for additional help?

the wording is fine the way it is IMO

That's great, but could you please re-read the original post.

Perhaps I should clarify: a game where rules are assumed is not conducive to new players. Elements is great, but unclear wording can avalanche into something nobody wants to play. Yes the forum is here for help, but cards should be easy to understand.

To the point: the idea is the gather ideas to make Voodoo Doll's wording clearer for new players. It's already been established a contingent of folks don't think it needs to be changed. This thread is for people who think it can be better worded. If you have any ideas, feel free to contribute.

This is the very essence of the problem with this thread. It is pretty much saying "We know what the opposition thinks, so you can ignore this thread. We only care about people that agree with us"

As far as poison goes, voodoo doesnt reapply status effects. It doesnt reapply BB, Freeze, or any other thing.  It just reapplies the damage. So poison isnt an exception. Although, I do think since damage & status is mentioned in the card, I think all these should transfer as well.

Here is your misunderstanding.
This thread is for making an alternate wording available for Zanz so it would take less work if he decided to take the time to change the wording. This is more of a resource than a suggestion and was intended as a compromise to both sides of the debate. Those in favor of a word change would offer an alternative wording and both sides would leave it to Zanz to decide if the alternate wording was worth the effort. The debate about whether it should or should not have its wording changed was and is settled. The conclusion was "if Zanz wants to".
