rid of the clause altogether so no OTHER gaming groups accidentally
turn inferior Undead Persistence into superior Conquer the Beast (because
they're ignorant and mostly because they'd NEVER SUSPECT IN A MILLION
YEARS that people would waste any ink on such a nit :-P ).

The problem, basically, is that because it contains language similar
to "Trap" and "Conquer the Beast", people assume it does the same
thing. They fail to read it closely, and read in a clause that is not
there.

By itself (had Trap or Conquer the Beast never been printed) the card
just isn't that confusing.
