Hmm... I don't know if this is a known bug, or what it is, but as far as I can see, that Wyrm has either the Destroy ability or the Dive ability. This Wyrm was mutated from another card (an Antlion, unburrowed and unmodified) using the Mutation card. When I use the ability, it uses the Destroy ability, but the fact that the card states that it has the ability "Dive" simply makes this segment of the game confusing.

I don't know if this can be classified as a bug, or if it's simply how the game has been made. But either way, it would be really helpful if someone told me which status to look at (the text under the card, or the full description on the card).

Thank you!

It's not a bug -- it's just confusing.

Treat the stats and ability on the card itself to be the definitive ones. Whatever's on the thumbnail that appears when you hover over it can be ignored.

For example, your Wyrm is now considered to be a 5/5 creature (if I read the numbers correctly) with the Destroy ability for 2 :air.

the ability you see on the card is under normal circumstances(the original), the second ability you saw was due to the fact that it was a mutant and the normal ability/stats became replaced with random stats and a random ability. Only the randomly given ability can be activated.

Yep, what assassim said - the rollover card is the "real" card, not the mutated one. Making the the rollover card the same as the mutated one would require lots of additional coding and perhaps even more confusion in the long run.
