>>37377956i was thinking the same thing, brevity is good here because card text is getting a bit longer/more complicated anyway
iirc some early yu-gi-oh cards used 'his or her' as well, but they changed to gender-neutral terminology much sooner to save real estate
pic related was the first thing that came to mind when i saw this thread, but i'm pretty sure there were other cards that used 'his or her' multiple times in the text, it just looked silly
