Wording on Uxlyx the Zookeeper and Collector Worm

By Felipe Rocha, in KeyForge

My question is regarding the different choices on the wording of Uxlyx the Zookeeper and Collector Worm 's habilities.

In the first case, Uxlyx says: " Put an enemy creature into your archives " (on Reap).

On the other hand, Collector Worm says: " Archive the creature Collector Worm fights " (on Fight).

In both cases the effects are making you (the active player) put an opponent's card into your archives, period.

My question is: why doesn't Uxlyx simply say "Archive an enemy creature"(on Reap)? Why does one effect have the word " your " and the other doesn't? If it is clear in both cases that the card is going to your archives, then having two completely different ways of saying the same thing seems like a waste of time, and just a way of complicating things.

While I don't have definitive proof, if I had to guess, the reason for the difference is that the creatures are from different sets, and the editing/proofreading team changed between CotA and AoA. (Rulebook credits show there was a change to the editing/proofing team, but I have no proof that this is what caused the difference.)
It would appear FFG is clearly still figuring out their card templates, and until those get sorted, these differences will pop up, especially in between sets.

Now that they have the timing chart out of the way, perhaps a codified card template will be next.
