BTW errataing Illusions of Grandeur, would not change the way it was intended to work, it would only change the way Donate was intended to work.
What would have been the point in printing Donate if you aren't allowed to Donate unwanted things to your opponent?
The broken part of Trix was not the Illusions/Donate combo, it was the card-advantage engine Necropotence. If they had banned Illusions/Donate the next Necro-fueled combo would have stepped in it's place.
And I can't believe people still think that Dark ritual isn't broken!
This is one of the most broken mana-acceleration cards in magic:
Black Lotus 0
Artifact
T, sac: add 3 mana of any color to your mana pool
Pretty close to DR if you ask me.
back to topic, I think erratas because of rules change are absolutely neccessary, or else many cards don't work at all, for instance spells which affect interrupts would be unplayable, or some cards wouldn't work how they were intended to, e.g. Phyrexian Devourer, Waylay etc.
I think the way Waylay got errataed is okay, I don't really see the point how removing the tokens during Upkeep is different from being able to cast it only during combat, as the functionality is the same, becuase combat is the only phase where you could realistically need the 2/2 knights.
The only reason the errata killed WW is that WotC was too lazy to check how all the cards would work with 6E rules, and forgot to errata them with the release of 6E.
