Does Svellsongur copy only the printed text on a unit, or does it also copy text added from other sources like equipment and keywords granted by other cards?

Ruling: Svellsongur is intended to copy only the printed text on the unit card, not text added from other sources like equipment or keywords granted by other cards. However, the current rules (version 1.2) do not clearly support this limitation, and the developers acknowledged that broader guidance, FAQ, or errata will be needed to clarify this.

Nuances:

• Equipment abilities are appended to a unit's rules text in the same layer as Svellsongur's duplication effect, which creates ambiguity about whether they should be copied
• Keywords granted by spells or other temporary effects would similarly be unclear under current rules
• The card text says "that unit's text" rather than "that card's text," which contributes to the ambiguity
• Developer intent is clear (printed text only) but rules support is insufficient
• Svellsongur does trigger abilities like Aphelios twice when attached, because its copying happens "as it attaches" and the text exists when the trigger evaluates
