Okay it reads.

E commit 1 Foundation destroy 1 assesst: The check to play your next attack gets +X. X Equals the difficulty of the Assest destroyed for this ability.

Alright might be nit-picking here but with all the other wording issues running rampant does it technicaly do nothing because it dosen't specifiy CONTROL CHECK. A check is a vague term because you can CHECK the cards in your hand to see what you got. Again might just be nit-picking this but with all the other wording questions and issues poping up might as well ask.

in all seriousness, what else would it be referring to besides a control check...?

Problem is if you interupt to the 'spirit of the game' Than there is a can of worms about every other card that is taken in the 'spirit of the game' Just really illustrates the need for Errata and new TR that is coming.

did you really make a thread to point out the lack of an excess word on a card?

Check is perfectly fine:

302.2 To attempt to play a card, a player reveals it from their hand and makes a control check . If their check is equal to or greater than the difficulty of the card they are attempting to play the player puts that card into their card pool to the right of any other cards played this turn, then they have played that card. If the player’s check was less than the required difficulty then they must either commit foundations to make themselves successful (see 302.3) or they will fail the control check , and their attempt to play the card.
302.3 If a player checks less than the difficulty they needed to pass the check , they may commit a number of ready character or foundation cards in their staging area equal to the difference between their control check and the difficulty they were checking against. If a player does so they are then successful and they continue on as normal. A player may also commit their character card like it was a foundation to make up the difference between the check and the difficulty needed.

Of the nine instances underlined above, two thirds use check rather then control check .

If you read the TR there are tons of other similar instances.
