Okay, here's AlexChurchill's thoughts:

  1. "Winston Churchhill"
  2. "when things are going you're way"
  3. Image: Legacy glass "broken" rather than Saga cog
  4. "R&D as an entirity" (entirety)
  5. "I'm not going to try and explain" (try to explain) maybe too picky?
  6. "(Time Spiral, Frantic Search, Tolarian Winds, etc.)" (not hyperlinked) maybe not a mistake as such, or one by webmaster rather than MaRo?
  7. "Band with Others" (the mechanic's called Bands with Other)
  8. "If something's was broken before,"
  9. "I feel its important to understand"
  10. It wasn't Robbie the Robot who said "Danger, Will Robinson" in Lost in Space
Robbie appears in Lost in Space. He plays the Robinsons' robot. 'Danger, Will Robinson!' and all that.  Actually, no, thinking about it, he didn't play that robot, he was a different robot. But he was in the TV series.
I thought the "Danger, Will Robinson!" robot in Lost in Space was a robot named B9 or something, not Robbie from Forbidden Planet? --AC
The 'Danger, Will Robinson' robot was a different one, yes. But Robbie was in Lost in Space. Can't remember anything about the episode though. Ah, there we are. Year one, episode 21, 'War of the Robots'. See http://www.racprops.com/issue3/lostinspace/pg3.php .
Thank you - useful. I've amended the error description ;) --AC
  1. "its important to remember that there are numerous other sections"
  2. No mistake number 12
  3. "The card doesn't have flying!" (cards themselves never have flying... only creatures) maybe too picky?
  4. "Whiporwill" (misspelled)
  5. "some innovations in how templates is generated."
  6. "the Planeshift development team" (Dead Ringers is Apocalypse) maybe it was moved during development?
  7. "But as Randy talked about in his column three Fridays ago" (two Fridays ago)
  8. "column on the creation of Phage ("Phage of Enlightenment")." (was called Phage against the Machine)
  9. Wrong Kamahl hyperlink
  10. "neither Elaine or I" (should be "nor")
21.  The link to Regrowth shows the image for Reclaim. --qqzm
Further additions AC suspects likely to be in MaRo's "intentional" set:
22. "a simple replacements" (how did I miss this?)
23. "(Cards that cost a card" (capitalised C)
24. "five Circles of Protection from Tempest" (six, with all six clearly included in the discussion from the comment below the image)

And like I say, I was expecting to have to use "Not 20 mistakes" as one of them. But in the list above, I don't have to...
It could count as an extra one...

PeterTaylor's list:
  1. going you're way
  2. honor unintentional, but blatantly an error 8-p. There were a couple of other Americanisms I didn't note down
  3. thus could exist AC: what's wrong here? The lack of subject. Should be "thus they could exist".
  4. entirity
  5. a simple replacements
  6. cantrips (Cards that cost a card but essentially not mana) two mistakes - capital C, and incorrect definition AC: The defn I believe is of his alternative to cantrips. The defn as stated fits the free mechanic being described (until you break it). In that case the mistake is grammatical - the definition binds to its antecedent - and he should have written "alternative to cantrips, namely cards that cost..."
  7. Regrowth link has Reclaim art
  8. its important
  9. Maybe combining tutoring and comes into play for free should require some extra mana.  - UU -> 2U is "extra mana" FSVO
  10. five Circles of Protection - 6
  11. Adkison could be correct, but might be a misspelling of Atkinson AC: Google: alchor's tomb tome peter suggests it's correct
  12. templates is generated
  13. belongs I believe to needs commas

Vitenka : Posted the quiz somewhere the wiki would find it.
