You could toss in Dragon Raid and a couple of others, if you chose to extend the implication to all cards on sites.

Since the only cards that can be placed on Sites are evil, any card on a site must be evil and therefore I think Dragon Raid goes with the first group.

Ooops. To clarify--I meant face down cards on sites. Sites themselves are in play.

Most of the cards that can be placed face down on sites are more normally found face up in other places--so they wouldn't go with group 1.

I have since changed my mind about the rule exception. I think errata for the offending cards is the best option. Make the abilities on the 2-3 offending cards capable of doing the only thing they say to do.

Prince of the Air's targeting of Chamber, Falling Away's targeting, etc. can only happen if the abilities are given errata. Let's just give it to them so they can do what we all know they do.

Or we could change the REG, which would be a lot easier.

Maybe Cactus could just reprint the offending cards in foil - with the special abilities fixed to work the way we've all been playing them. Then Cactus could institute a "recall program" where we can mail in our cards that don't do what we want them to do in exchange for foil versions that say what we want them to say.

I think that would be the easiest solution.

In my opinion, the rules should be EASY. "As a default, special abilities target cards in play" is easy. A second sentence that adds an exception to this rule adds a layer of complication that is not needed, especially when we are talkng about only 3 cards that do not contain the right language.

A short errata list (where a card still does what most players assume it does) does not add much complication.
