About those new card wordings...

Actual card text for "Meklord Emperor Wisel"
Cannot
be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned by its own effect,
and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When a face-up monster you
control is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You
can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Other monsters you
control cannot declare an attack. Once per turn: You can target 1
Synchro Monster your opponent controls; equip that target to this card.
This card gains ATK equal to those equipped monster's combined ATK. Once
per turn, when an opponent's Spell Card is activated: You can negate
the activation and destroy it.
Excuse me while I vomit.

Looks like Kevin isn't a fan of grammar. I wouldn't have minded the changes so much if they were grammatically correct...

A simple change makes reading the card more pleasant. My take:

Ideal card text for "Meklord Emperor Wisel"
This
card cannot be Normal Summoner or Set. This card must be Special
Summoned through its own effect, and cannot be Special Summoned through
other means. When a face-up monster you control is destroyed by a card
effect and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card from
your hand. Other monsters you control cannot declare an attack. Once per
turn, you can target 1 face-up Synchro Monster your opponent controls.
Equip the targeted card to this card. This card gains ATK equal to the
sum of the monsters equipped to this card through this card's effect.
Once per turn, you can negate the activation of a Spell Card and destroy
it.

And of course, here was the original intended card effect:

Original card text for "Meklord Emperor Wisel"
This
card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special
Summoned, except by its own effect. When a face-upmonster you control is
destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special
Summon this card from your hand. Other monsters you control cannot
declare an attack. Once perturn, you can select 1 Synchro Monster your
opponent controls andequip that target to this card. This card gains ATK
equal to those monsters' combined ATK. Once per turn, when an
opponent's Spell Card is activated, you can negate the activation and
destroy it.
I'm going to add a little poll to see which version people prefer.
