Bug with Castle and creatures with Vigilance

Post by Evilelvis »

The text on Castle states that attacking creatures do not get the bonus, but a creature with Vigilance will retain the toughness bonus when attacking.

The text on a card is irrelevant, the only thing that counts is the official wording from gatherer

Code: Select all

Untapped creatures you control get +0/+2.

1.3 Misleading card texts

Over the years, many old cards have been updated with new texts, subtypes, or abilities, to reflect rules changes. These updated texts are the basis for Wagic's implementation of any card. However, if you are playing the game with images of these cards, then these images might show the older, now obsolete text.

There are two places where you can check the card texts:

- In-game, you can press "Triangle" in many screens to switch between the display of images and the card texts as implemented in Wagic (or you can tell Wagic to never load any images at all, in the Options screen.

- Out of the game, there's the Gatherer. This is the official database for cards, and it always shows the most current rules text ("oracle") in a card's data sheet (note that the card picture in the Gatherer may still show the old, obsolete text; it's the data sheet / oracle that counts!). Just search the Gatherer for the name of the card that you suspect to be buggy, and check the rules text.

The Gatherer also has additional explanations for some cards' rules, mostly to handle specific cases or common misunderstandings.

Alternatively, you can also check the MagicCards site. It contains most of the information from the Gatherer, but uses a slightly different structure and may load quicker due to being less script-heavy. However, if the information on MagicCards is in contradiction to the Gatherer, then the Gatherer (as an official source) is assumed to be correct.
