Rules Q&A

• Q: Hi everybody
  I don't know if this has been discussed already but... sorry if it already has
  I received today my Imperial Assembly. In it was Dark Oracle of Fire
  Text of the card reads:
  Dark Oracle of Fire - 5G Retainer - Experienced - Unique - Shadowlands Elemental Reaction: Bow the Dark Oracle of Fire when one of your target personalities enters a duel to force the facing Personality's controller to discard a card of his or her choice every time your personality focuses in this duel. Lose 4 Honor. This loss may not be copied or modified.
  Shouldn't it read something like:
  Retainer - Experienced - Shadowlands - Unique Elemental Reaction: Bow this card when one of your Personalities enters a duel to have the opposing Personality's player discard a card of their choice each time your Personality plays a focus. [Extracted from l5rsearch.com]
  Who's wrong, me, the card, the weather man, bill gates, the universe? (I give away, usually, it's me, but who knows...)
  A: Let me get this straight. You're holding the actual, physical card in your hand, and its text differs from an online spoiler, and you're asking me which is the true text on the card?
  If that's really what you're asking...
  The card is right.
