The Lost Caverns of Ixalan offers a lot for MTG players, including new preconstructed decks and a compelling Limited environment. The set also resolves a major translation error that has plagued MTG for years, although there are still some mistranslations in the set. One Reddit user complained about a German translation error on a card in the Wilds of Eldraine set, which significantly affected the card’s abilities. This issue has persisted for years and has affected many German MTG players. However, the Oracle text of the cards ensures that the rules and interactions are correct, even if the card’s text is mistranslated. Wizards of the Coast has made efforts to fix mistranslation errors, and The Lost Caverns of Ixalan has separate words for “permanents” and “permanent cards” in German to ensure the translation is always correct. Despite this improvement, there are still some translation errors in the set, including a gameplay-changing mistranslation on a Chinese variant of a card. Ultimately, while the mistranslations may cause confusion, they do not change the rules of the game.
