Got a couple KF decks early. One has 2 Witch of the Wilds. If both are in play do I get to play 2 Untamed card or still just one?

The wording is this:
"During each turn in which Untamed is not your active house, you may play one Untamed card."

I'd say just one. Two instances of that ability seems redundant.

Yeah, if it's straight text, and not tied to a something like a Reap ability, then I agree with @Saibrock . Only once.

I figured this was the case. Thanks!

I don't know... If

I don't know... If that's the case would 2 Grey Monks only give your other creatures +1 armor? Or is it the '+1' that makes this different?

That + makes all the difference.

Why? Why wouldn't each Witch of the Wilds allow you to play one Untamed card? I don't see the difference, although I admit I'm not sure which way it should go. It just seems a little weird.

If it was worded as " Each turn you may play an additional Untamed Card." then you could play 2. The limit is imposed as the card says you specifically can play "one Untamed card".

They could put "only one Untamed card" for the limit...

I would say each copy of WotW allows you to play one Untamed card. I’m basing this on how other cards in the game work, not parsing the english language.

I’d also agree one for each copy in play based on how other cards with similar effects can stack.

I thought one for each card at first.

But if you think about it in terms of fulfilling requirements - once you play one Untamed card you have fulfilled the requirement for both copies of the card.

You could have ten Witch of the Wilds and the requirement would still be filled by playing one Untamed card.

I think...

What cards would that be?

I'm completely torn on this one as well. Using this same argument you could also say 2 Grey Monks only give your creatures +1 armor because once they have +1 armor both cards have fulfilled their effect.

two, seems like they’d stack based on how other effects in the game work. One instance triggers then the other

I’ve thought about this a little more and still think you could use both via the rule of six.

Succubus, Mother, and especially Labwork.

I assume you aren't talking about this Labwork?

For Succubus and Mother there is a key difference, they have the words 'less' and 'additional' in their text. So if WotW said 'You may play an additional Untamed card each turn', she would work like them.

Saying “additional” would imply that you had other ways to play Untamed cards off house prior to using the ability.

Even with the word additional (or less) you could argue that playing Mother or Succubus twice only modify’s your hand by one either way. I don’t see how their use on either of these cards predicates whether or not WotW can stack or not. Either they all stack or none of them do.

If they were two different cards (say a creature and an artifact) with the exact same ongoing ability this wouldn’t be a discussion.

Sorry, I meant Phase Shift.

I'd go with the each copy gives a card play out of house. As far as I can see, every card ability so far stacks with multiple copies of a card.

I agree. Based on the way Constant Abilities and Rule of Six are worded in the rulebook, I think you could do this more than once up to the number of copies Witch of the Wilds you had in play (up to six as per the Rule of Six).

Pretty sure it's one based on the wording of the card. There is nothing there that suggests once I've played my one card, I can play another.

Edit: I think the thing that sets it apart from other cards is that it very specifically mentions you can play "one card"...there is no "additional", "for each", "extra" or whatever words apply to situations like these, it's just straight up "one card", which doesn't matter if you have two or 15 on the board, it's still just one card allowed and not "one for each".

I'm going to call it. There are good reasons to think either result is correct.

Therefore the interpretation is ambiguous and requires an official ruling.

Each card produces a trigger that allows you to play one untamed card when it isn't the active house. The one card isn't a restriction, it is simply what you do. Therefore, two triggers = two cards played.
