Bunny modifiers when returning to life

[TheDavii]

As I was going through Quest Card Companion today, I noticed this apparent inconsistency between the "Get Out of Death Free" and "Insurance Porpoises" cards. In particular, the bold bits. In both cases, the bunny dies ("... bring any one bunny back to life..." i.e., it is dead and then comes back to life, and "... the bunny is killed..."), but what happens to the bunny modifiers is different. In the first case, they are discarded. In the second case, they remain on the bunny.

Wacky Khaki Bunny Bits:

0587: GET OUT OF DEATH FREE
Get Out Of Death Free may be used once by a player to bring any one bunny back to life immediately. Must be
used during the same turn as the death. May be used at any time!
If the bunny was carrying any Bunny Modifiers, then they are discarded since the bunny was technically dead
first, and then brought back to life.

Ominous Onyx Bunny Bits:

0666: INSURANCE PORPOISES
Insurance Porpoises may be placed on any bunny along with 5 Dolla. If the bunny is killed, then the player may
return it to The Bunny Circle at the start of his next turn and discard both Insurance Porpoises and the 5 Dolla.
Bunny Modifiers remain with the bunny.

Does anybody have a reasonable explanation (even if said explanation is "it's an error.")?

No, but nice catch. Both of those statements are directly from the Bunny Bits themselves.

Thanks for pointing that out. However, I think it’s just two similar cards, so they don’t necessarily have to have the same outcome. The one keeping the modifiers would probably be a stronger card, but it might also be a tactic to not want a modifier.

Two potential thematic explanations:

1. The insurance policy from the porpoises also comes with modifier replacement insurance. What a great deal!

2. Check out the ID of Porpoises, clearly there's some deals with the devil going on to keep those clovers.

Realistic Balance Explanation:

1. Get Out of Death Free, being a very special, can be used whenever it's needed, while Insurance Porpoises, being a special, must be planned in advance, not to mention the extra 5 Kaballa payment. Because of this, Insurance porpoises is given the extra bonus of keeping the modifiers. It gives the cards relatively the same balance in terms of strength, each being better situationally

Ha, I guess I've contacted Jeff enough to come up with predictions for his responses. Lol.
