TCG people must've copy-pasted the translation without thinking of making them clear.

OCG Bullet points are so good. Why do only some TCG cards have it like that?

Edit: also why Mekk-Knight Avram flavor text got shafted like that??

They purposely didn't adapt the bullet points because it turned 5 lines into 7-8 lines, which looks horrible in english.

They're going by some maximum 7 lines rules. Monsters have a lot of required text, so they are maximum 7 lines. Meanwhile spells/traps don't have required text like the monster type etc, so they can be 9 lines, so they use a lot more bullet points and are more readable

There are several solutions to this and they took the option of just not using bullet points I guess. I don't agree with it but I guess they're not allowed to deviate from the original format.

Rush Duel cards have so much more real estate while the cards look a lot more modern. Their card text is more akin to how Vanguard does things, where activation condition are literally written as such rather than being separated by a ;

Avram being the way it is was a fucking joke by the English branch. Literally everybody hated it, and they just kinda said well we can't do anything about it cuz they're already in circulation.

Hopefully in the future, we get a lost art type update
