choose the words a, the, and, or something like that. if the main text of the card doesn't have it, the flavor text probably will.

So what about something like Desert Twister? Do you follow what's written, or the erratta? I would assume what's written, but erratta is what is assumed to be written on the card. Also, what if a different edition is worded differently, like the Alpha vs. the M10 versions of Clone?

Simply awful against textless full-art cards. My Fomori Nomad deck would own this any day.

Best words to choose as of the release of Theros:

"If": in 2,457 oracle texts (search terms specified a space afterwards to avoid being part of a larger word).
"May": in 2,496 oracle texts.
"End": in 3,048 oracle texts.
"Turn": in 3,324 oracle texts (search terms excluded "return").
"Card": in 4,073 oracle texts.
"to": in 5,049 oracle texts (search terms specified a space before and after).
"Target": in 5,227 oracle texts.
"a": in 5,730 oracle texts (search terms specified a space before and after).
"of": in 5,965 oracle texts (search terms specified a space before and after).
"The": in 7,165 oracle texts.

"At" was inconclusive, because it shows up in cards containing many words such as "that", "battlefield," and Abbey Matron, but I estimate it's under 1,000.

okay, this is my second favorite card with the word taint in it.
the art is amazing.
the flavor is fun.
I myself like to pick the word "taint" and hope my opponent has font of mythos.

It's obviously an ape. Why is it called monkey?

On a side note: Cheap mill, almost broken -3 life. Besides the misnomer, I give it. 4.5 stars. The name brings it down to 4.
