Q: Sign of Weakness
BAH! Snow Crane is nothing compared to the abuse of the Dragon Tattoo. Nothing. I can attach 0 Fire Tokens... an infinite number of times in my limited phase to get the Ring of Air in play FIVE times in ONE TURN!
Once Gold Edition comes out, this will be neither possible (due to an MRP of the Ring of Air) nor desirable (due to an MRP of Finding the Harmony). I don't want to issue a ruling on one card only to need to reverse it once the more problematic of the two in the combo is changed.

Everybody understands the concept of proxies. I'm not sure what will end up being more confusing - the special deck construction rules ("these Personalities are not the same, but they count as the same for deck construction. Yes, we love the concept so much, there's actually a name for it."),
Remember, text box "real estate" is EXPENSIVE. The concept is word-intensive and will be appearing on multiple cards. That's a good enough reason to have a shortcut expression for it.
