As I was going through the above deck again and making some mods and I ran across some wording that has me perplexed.
For the first thing, when the wording on a card is changed from the original it trumps the old wording, correct?

I have an old copy of Monstrous Growth that reads, "Any one creature gets +4/+4 until the end of the turn."
Now, to me, that says you may use it on a creature with I own with Shroud but if I can't do that with that printing anymore I would like to know.
Thanks all.

the oracle text says "target creature gets +4/+4 until end of turn" so you can't use it on shroud creatures

always check gatherer first, and use the text you find online instead of the one on the card

If you're curious as to why the wording is different on that card, Portal was a starter set printed with simplified rules and wordings. One of the terminology changes was the removal of the word "target." If the card had been printed in any other set, it would have read "target creature," so they updated it when it was reprinted in Starter 1999.

Thanks for your help guys. As most of the cards I inherited are old I find a lot of different wordings. That one just jumped out at me.
