Q: "Why does the wording on the Ember-Fist Zubera not match the other four cards in the Zubera cycle?"
--Matt Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
A: From Del Laugel, Magic Senior Editor R&D:
"The other four cards in this cycle (Ashen-Skin Zubera, Dripping-Tongue Zubera, Floating-Dream Zubera) have effects that happen ’for each Zubera put into a graveyard from play this turn.’ But as Matt points out, Ember-Fist Zubera is worded differently: ’it deals damage to target creature or player equal to the number of Zubera put into all graveyards from play this turn.’ Why isn’t this one like the others?
"The difference is that Ember-Fist Zubera deals damage. Any effect that deals damage is templated so that the damage is dealt all in one clump. This makes everything interact sensibly with damage-prevention effects like Circle of Protection: Red and Opal-Eye, Konda’s Yojimbo that check for ’the next time’ a source would deal damage.
"With that in mind, Mana Clash stands out as the real oddball in the Magic universe. It’s both the only spell that requires multiple Circle of Protection activations and the only coin-flip card that doesn’t let a player call the flip."

ずべらサイクルは、「このターンに死亡したずべら１つにつき」という書き方なのに、《燃えさし拳のずべら/Ember-Fist Zubera》だけは、「このターンに死亡したずべらの数に等しい点数のダメージを与える。」という書き方なのはなぜか？という質問です。
防御円や《今田の用心棒、乳眼/Opal-Eye, Konda’s Yojimbo》などの「次の」ダメージが与えられることに関する効果の挙動を機能させるため、ということです。これはずべらに限ったことではなく、基本的な方針とのことです。その数少ない例外が《魔力激突/Mana Clash》ということも挙げられています。
