You say that the Fanatics' wording is different, but the wording simply says, 'pieces of terrain.'

If you're calling open ground 'terrain,' then isn't it essentially a large 'piece of terrain' (or, rather, many pieces)? Isn't a 'slice of pizza' still 'pizza'? o.0

No - pieces of terrain is the things you generate and place on the field. In your pizza example, "pieces of terrain" would be pizza topping.

And it got FAQd for a reason. For a similar scenario, check out the "What is a succesful cast" discussion going on, primarily because of Dark Acolyte. Dark acolyte told you to apply it after a successful cast (adding to the cast value), but got FAQ'd to be BEFORE dispels. This technically means "succesful casts" happen before dispels, which is obviously not true - It got FAQ'd because it was obviously poorly written.

The word "all" is as inclusive as they come, and claiming it doesn't include something, despite no indications that it shouldn't, is rulesbending, in my opinion at least.

"Does not affect the game" is pretty clear-cut, in my opinion. To me, that takes precedence.

So it takes precedence over another rule being equally clear in "All terrain is threated as difficult"?

I mean, that's the debate.

To answer the question, yes: I think that it does overrule 'all terrain' (even if you want to call it terrain) because of that 'does not affect the game' bit. *shrug* Up to the gamers.
