My neo discovery scizors double claw attack reads Flip 2 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads.
but it says that it does 20+ damage
does it do 20x damage or 20 + (20 x the number of heads)
Thanks.

Basically, Wizard messed up ![[Frown]](../tcg/frown.gif) , and then messed up even worse when they ruled on thier mistake ![[NoNoNo]](../tcg/graemlins/nonono.gif) . The original Japaneese translation was 20+ 20x the number of heads on 2 coins, so 20 damage (no heads), 40 damage (1 heads), or 60 damage (both heads). They printed the card with the base damage being 20+, which was right, but then in the text said that the attack does: Flip 2 coins, this attack does 20 times the number of heads (no 20 plus basically) then when asked, Wizards said that the base damage shoulda read 20x not 20+. Funny since my Japanese ones all read 20+ as well! Bad, bad, bad. And I was really looking forward to the release of this card to, now it is just a kewl looking card that just sits there, and never gets used ![[Mad]](../tcg/mad.gif)

Maybe they should change the ruling again ![[Embarrassed]](../tcg/redface.gif)
I mean paying CCC for an average of 20 damage..... ![[Dubious]](../tcg/graemlins/dubious.gif)

Don't dredge *that* pond - I had collected 4 of these in anticiption of being able to play with them - then .... Phhhhht! Cardboard. Not worth diddly to play with on a mere whim of a bad ruling. I must say one of the few bad calls from the MT's. The part that always puzzled me is how they would go to Japan on other things - why would they not on this?
