Goblin Balloon Brigade Then Vs Now.

Looking through magiccards.info I saw that Goblin Balloon Brigade used to say "R: Goblins gain flying until end of turn." And when I looked at newer versions of the card I saw it changed to "R: Goblin Balloon Brigade gains flying until end of turn" Anybody know why it changed? Was it too good for Goblin Tribal?
You can use the alpha version to trick your friends though.

I've never seen Brigade pre Revised Edition before. That is poor wording on the card. That's why it was 'revised' and later improved further (the text, I mean. The card's ability has always been the same).

yeah that text is just terribly confusing. You think they would of noticed that when reading it or saying it aloud. haha

From the Gatherer comments:
"Combo with R&D's Secret Lair, then it will give all Goblins flying."

The ability of Goblin Balloon Brigade hasn't changed. Its ability only ever gave itself flying, it was just that its rules text was errata'd to be less confusing.
