Zaccheeus' play as is wrong.

O_o imo its better that way, stops fort abuse, even though it wasn't the "Original intent"
Actually, it WAS the original intent.  You have never been able to put the fort in play that you searched for with Zaccheus.  Ever since I playtested that set it has always been the same.

Well this needs more publicity, because I've seen a lot of people (many of them experienced - Justin even?) use it the way the "play as" says to.

I'm still curious as to why we have an aversion to making cards do what they were meant to do, even if it makes them stronger.  Is it because we are trying to avoid people getting their favorite card powered up?

I believe its so people don't have to memorize a 100+ card errata page.

Well it wouldn't be much different than it is now, as they have to memorize a 100+ list of cards that do not work.  :P

Players don't have to memorize a list if cards just do what they say they do.

Playtesters should pay a bit more attention to what the Nationals Promo actually does.

So it is a decision to maintain "simplicity" of the game then?  I can understand that. It just seems like a lot of potential fun from what would have been great cards is lost.

Yes. of all the cards, this one hurts the most.  Especially those of us who paid a pretty penny during nats that year in Ohio to get extras only to find out that they are not as powerful as advertized...

Yes, we should have.  I'm sorry that card was not worded correctly.  I can take part of the blame for writing that card (I modified a player's suggestion, but left his oversight in the wording). All of us playtesters should have read it more carefully.  Thankfully, this year, we had a lot of careful eyes on the project.  I think this set will be one of the best as far as card wording goes.

To avoid this issue in the future, Nationals promos will be gold-bordered cards with no special abilities.  Watch this year for the first-ever gold-bordered no-special-ability Lost Soul!

+1 Having cards simply do what they say is worth having some cards be useless.  The alternative is to have a game that people can't pick up and play without reading a ton of extra stuff.

I appreciate Bryon's apology here, and encourage everyone to stop being upset about Split Altar.  Yes it was a mistake, but they have admitted it and apologized.  There is no reason to keep bringing it up.  Let's just move on.
