I think it's actually correct in this usage because "effect" is a keyword in the game, so using "effect" triggers specific rules.

Plus Duke has a secret ability that if someone tries to argue the sentence isn't grammatical you get to give them a swirlie.

Pretty sure they're right. If something has no effect on you, it doesn't affect you.

I can't do a comprehensive search right now, but I've so far been unable to find the word "effect" on card text.

It’s not. Source: I gave the best years of my life to this game.

That's a noun. It's used as a verb in this card description, which is wrong.

Effect can be a verb also, but then the meaning is like "cause."

"The president's policies effected change."

It's technically accurate that cards with lots of text aren't going to effect me, I think.

Unless the cards with lots of text are actually your parents.

Irregardless, I don't think theirs really a difference between the too in this case.

No, that's definitely not how it works. It would never be worded this way to begin with, but this "effect" is just a homonym of the word you're referring to.

I don't make the rules fam
