The article says:Whenever a nontoken permanent originally printed in the Arabian Nights expansion other than City in a Bottle is on the battlefield, its controller sacrifices it.
Players can't play cards originally printed in the Arabian Nights expansion.
But it still seems to me you can't play an Arabian Nights Mountain. Am I missing something or is the article wrong?The change that took place for the card is a subtle, but important, change. The new rules text now states that it only cares about cards which were originally printed in Arabian Nights, and it no longer cares about what the actual expansion symbol on the card is. This means that you can safely play your Arabian Nights Mountains against City in a Bottle, but you can't play your Ali from Cairo that was printed in Masters Edition IV or City of Brass printed in Modern Masters.
You do notice the word "originally" in both lines, right? Since Mountain was originally printed in Limited (Alpha), it is unaffected by City in a Bottle. But I seem to remember this change happening a while ago...But it still seems to me you can't play an Arabian Nights Mountain. Am I missing something or is the article wrong?
Yeah, I understand what the errata means. But from what I can tell from here, City in a Bottle and its two like cards are not listed in any of the Oracle Update Bulletins from when the rule 109.3 was changed in M14 until now. So I think the "will receive errata in the future" means now; it didn't have up until now.Oversoul said:I don't have time right now to track down when the errata were introduced, but I do think it was last year
Message board ate my first attempt at responding to this. I checked the wayback machine and found that the snapshot of the Gatherer page for City in a Bottle from November of last year (the only snapshot for last year, unfortunately) includes the change. Whenever that "later date" was, it turned out to be some point last year (some time between July and November).Yeah, I understand what the errata means.
