Mox Amber exact wording

Hello,

with reference to Mox Amber, my understanding is that “The word ”legendary“ in ”legendary creatures and planeswalkers“ refers to both creatures and planeswalkers”", as reported here:

http://www.cranialinsertion.com/article/2657

So should a player somehow control, say, a white non-legendary planeswalker, they couldn't get white mana from Mox Amber.

However, the card is worded differently in Italian, i.e. “Aggiungi un mana di un qualsiasi colore tra quelli dei planeswalker e delle creature leggendarie che controlli.”, and seems referring explicitly to “planeswalkers and legendary creatures”.

Which version is correct?

Hi,

The English Oracle text is correct. You either need to control a legendary planeswalker or a legendary creature for the Mox to count it. It will not count a nonlegendary planeswalker (like a token planeswalker made by Jace, Cunning Castaway). It's a known issue in a few languages and will be look at to be clarified in the future.

Thanks,
