#oracle text

And don't let people who're hating on it or getting in their redundant Among Us joke posts subtract from this:

It's the fact that FE could also have a future as an RTS (real time strategy) over its Turn-based roots. And it's a strange change that I would oddly welcome?

My favorite characters (excluding Lion!Dimitri) are Alberta and Carina. Gotta love my Panther and Bull Archtypes.

The story is simple/true to FEs archetype history, the music is good and the voice acting is on par for what we've seen in recent years. But we're literally on the first book, yeah FEs writing is nothing stellar, but expecting or demanding some great Elden Ring kinda story is just as tiring.

It’s mostly just for clarity.

When she was printed, there was a lot of confusion about a couple of corner cases, i.e. what happens when things that aren’t normally creatures would die as creatures and what happens when things that are printed as creatures would leave the battlefield as noncreatures. The printed text made a lot of people think that what was printed on the card leaving the battlefield was what mattered, but that wasn’t the case. Anafenza’s ability, as a replacement effect, has always looked at cards in the zone they’re moving from and not what they would look like in the graveyard, so the change to her oracle text is just to clarify that.The main confusion comes from the fact that “graveyard from anywhere” triggers look at cards as they exist in the graveyard, not in the previous zone.

TL;DR: As printed, Anafenza is worded poorly. She has always worked the same way. If it’s a creature on the battlefield, it’s exiled. If it’s not, then it’s not.
