I've seen this rule broken many times. (people putting an ally on their bench each turn)
What's the deal with this rule?

Question!
When a card says "comes into play" does that mean being added to the bench, too? Or strictly when it becomes active? (if so, it should say so)
'cause being on the bench is "in play" in a way. As opposed to being in hand or in deck. XD

I was just going through my deck and the updated card list to check for inconsistencies in energy usage, damage, etc. when I noticed something about one of the cards I made, "GLOMP!"
The original description was "Choose one creature in the battlefield. Roll a die. If odd, 3 Damage is healed from that creature. If even, 3 Damage is dealed to that creature." It must have recently been changed to "Target any Ally in play." The thing is, it's supposed to be a double-use heal-or-hurt card with a risk no matter how you use it. Changing it so you can only target your allies removes half the possible strategies it could be used for, and the whole point. Please, PLEASE change it back. If it's too powerful to be a common, make it uncommon, or lower the HP either direction to 2, just as long as it is once-again true to my idea.
EDIT: Actually, I just looked at the definition of 'ally' and it's kinda confusing. Does it really mean 'a card on your side' or does "GLOMP!" still do the same thing as before.
Onto a question, let's say there's a card with an ability similar to the old 'call to arms', where you can take a card from your deck and put it straight onto your bench. Assuming it doesn't specifically specify, would this use up your one benched card for the turn, or could it be used to bench a second card?

That's why I wasn't too keen on the change of the term to describe creature/forumer cards from "creature" to "ally" 'cause "ally" always implies being on your side. XD

A card on your side = 'ally' A card on your opponent's side = 'enemy' There should also be a term that covers both. Possibly just 'creature', maybe something like 'fighter' or 'trooper'.

I was talking about a term that covered both. =P It used to be "creature" but the term changed everything to "ally" for some reason.

But we've been accustomed to calling our creature cards "Ally cards". Making another term will just confuse us more, since almost all the battles I've seen uses the old term. Besides, we already call a creature card on the opponent's side "Opponent's Ally". And because they're all Allies, technically, only mentioning "an ally" in a card means that both sides are applicable.

Yeah, but it's a term where at least one person (probably a lot more) that's new to the game is bound to get confused when they here it. Kinda like the 'every other turn' rule you came across. I prefer terms that are clear, and understandable with little-or-no explanation to understand and the start, and that you need no reminder on.

It'll be a huge work revising all the cards just to meet that requirement you want. Also, people will still confuse "enemy" for anyone on the opponent's side, benched or active. As if "Deal # Damage to one of your Opponent's Benched Allies" isn't understandable enough. If we need a term that would describe any ally on either side, then we'll just use what I've said. "Any Ally on Either Side."

"Any Ally on Either Side." They already revised them the last time they did it. That's what enemy is supposed to mean, so how is that getting the term confused? Yes, we definitely need a term that covers both. I'd prefer something that only uses one or two words, though.
