You may have seen the first Card Parody; it covered Raigeki, making it pointlessly complicated when all it does is destroy all monsters your opponent controls. This time, I'm looking at another famous Yu-Gi-Oh! card, Monster Reborn. This card is currently Limited, as of May 21, 2018, so only one copy can be in any tournament/competitive deck.
Here's the original:

Back in the day, one of the most popular Yu-Gi-Oh! cards that was designed to interact during the Battle Phase is Mirror Force. What's cool about this card is that it can destroy more than 1 monster on the opponent's side of the field, and it does not target (meaning that you don't necessarily have to commit, if your opponent responds in a way that still lets you resolve the effect).
Raigeki is perhaps one of the most well-known Yu-Gi-Oh! cards of all time. Its effect normally says, "Destroy all monsters your opponent controls." That should be enough. It's concise, and describes enough for you to know what it does, right? But what can we reword it to say that makes it extremely redundant, yet still carry basically the same meaning?
The original is: Problem-Solving Card Text (PSCT) essentially is broken down into several facets: text structure; terminology and phrasing; and conjunctives. The intention with PSCT is to allow for interpretation of the card text and provide a logical way to proceed with as many given situations as possible. The way the wording looks for each case will specify, e.g. what cards can or cannot be activated in response, how an effect resolves in a Chain, which effect can be responded (chained) to, etc. Misreading a card text may give a player an accidental advantage, or sometimes, it may even change the outcome of a Duel. So, let’s consider each facet individually.
