I take comfort in the fact that the nastiest Runner may or may not
always cooperate with his owner.

L5R may not have started that way, but it was pretty well ingrained by
the release of Forbidden Knowledge. There were enough cards in the
original release that prompted the foo rule, among other questions.
Magic was always straying down that path - even in the original set, you
had "Summon Goblin" and "Summon Goblins" cards for the Goblin Lord to
affect equally well - but things only got worse post-Ice Age. The
game's less concerned with keywords, so it simply will never become as
important.

As to SRTCG becoming that way -- I don't know. I'm pushing for it not
to become like that.
