Well since we had a little discussion on the text but it seems we're getting a little offtopic, I've decided to open a new topic. :)

Will be very glad to even see a card scan of YGO using the word "piercing" u_u seriously, I really am doubting you a lot on having a physical card that says "piercing."

From YGO wikia wiki:

"Piercing" is the UDEized word for Trample (as used in MTG, etc). Pierce is the word used in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Video Games, and the effect is characterised by the following text in the card lore:

During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent.


And we know that in the YGO Video games, they named Elemental Hero Elixir some really bizarre name that is incorrect... don't forget the Dark Spellian and Dark Spellian Girl in the video games too when it comes to wording.
I'm serious about having a Cyberdark Horn with the Piercing text. It's just that I don't have a friggin' scanner and that's not an excuse. The Cyberdark Horn is got was not from the Cyberdark Impact booster pack though. It was from the Zane Trusedale Duelist pack, not that it really matters.

Never liked ideal808 because their layout is so unprofessional, so checked pokeorder, and that cyberdark horn exists >_>; All the zane pack has "piercing." All the Cyberdark Impact ones have the long text. Not sure on the 1st edition or preview ones. Malicious Edge also has 2 copies as well, though I am not sure on which edition/pack contains which type of text.

Piercing is now accepted and official in YGO vocabulary. I'm definitely using it since it just cut two sentences from the already long effects in YGO cards. Yay for changing font 8 to font 9!

So...it's basically an unusual edition card with wonky wording. That doesn't really change the fact that convention favors the whole "During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card..." thing, so that's standard. If one card says it this way and all the others use the other, which card is more likely to be faultily worded?

*Stares at post*

What, Malicious Edge too? The traitors. :< I guess it saves space, but...still seems weird, though. Yay for adding another term for the newbie players to get themselves confused over.
