Hey Rules Team,

The Plasma Storm Charizard has a Scorching Fire attack that has a clearly misprinted energy requirement of :fighting: :colorless::colorless::colorless::colorless:. The Boundaries Crossed Charizard has the not-misprinted Scorching Fire energy requirement of :fire::colorless::colorless::colorless::colorless:.

Should Plasma Storm Charizard's Scorching Fire be played as if it had the energy cost of :fighting: :colorless::colorless::colorless::colorless: or :fire::colorless::colorless::colorless::colorless:?

(This is similar to a situation way back in the day where Dark Vileplume had a difference in printed weakness between it's holographic and non-holographic versions. It was ruled that the holographic version would be played with :fire: weakness while the non-holographic version would be played with :fighting: weakness.)
 
It's more similar to the misprint on Blaine's Charizard which was corrected in a later print run.
That also had a "fighting" energy requirement.
Just like that, this is getting an errata.
Play it as requiring Fire.
