Coolest ruling ever

At nationals RDT Pulled off in my opinion one of the coolest tricks ever, because they had to errata it on the spot. He blocked with angry mob and flipped over their heros discarded one and angry mob dosn't say flip the heros back over so they would be removed from the game. But unfortunatly they errata it on the spot.
Life is not a promise but eternity is...

a.) That is MJB's trick.
b.) It wasn't an errata, it was a clarification (or so I've been told).
c.) This opens the door for way cooler things.

Actually that ruling means discarded characters go back to territory at the end of turn

Angry Mob's special ability is "Discard a random hero from a random territory."  The stuff actually written on the card is only the "how," and the "flip 'em back over" has been an obvious understood step for years. 

Consider Angry Mob's text as part of the same category as the second sentence of the Pale Green Prince of This World.  It is not a special ability.  It was just supposed to clarify what that ability does or how that ability works.

but Angry Mob has an instant ability, not an ongoing ability. with instant abilities, you don't need clarifications. plus, clarifications were only needed pre-Angel Wars and in starters

Then, I have to ask....


How would Angry Mob be worded today (It would not be printed is not the answer I am looking for, haha)?

Select a territory at random by spinning Angry Mob and arguing about the significance of its final position.  Discard a random hero from that territory.

I'm confused by the last three sentences of my post.

you gave clarifications back in those days. Angry Mob doesn't have a clarification. Invisible Beings flips a hero face down. it's face up isn't a clarification. it's a part of the ability.

Angry Mob was printed in 2001? in the Apostles.  That was the same set that had Nero, which has the lame second sentence that the pale green Prince of this World had.  That second sentence isn't a special ability.  It is a "clarification."  It is the same with Angry Mob.  Turning the heroes face down is not the special ability.  Discarding the heroes is the special ability.  The face down part is just a long, incomplete way to say "discard a random hero from that territory."

I assume the spinning is indeed part of the SA and not clarification though, right?

but the card directs you to put it face down. clarifications don't do anything except explain things that the special ability already say.

on that note, does Mask of Vanity end the battle?

I still don't understand why you didn't just errata the card...

Reading MoV literally, no.  The Rescue attempt fails, but it still can continue as a battle challenge.
