Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationDeviation: The Defictionalized Card Wars cards made later on have abilities that are either somewhat different from or entirely different from the cards shown in the episode.
** Ancient Scholar's ability to raise the dead is its only ability, while Finn implies it can learn other spells. It also doesn't need to study, having the ability to return a creature to your hand from the discard pile from the start. Accordingly, the Schoolhouse doesn't allow it to study, instead granting 5 defense to the creature in its lane if it floops.
** Archer Dan is depicted in the episode as destroying all of Finn's buildings in one turn. In-game, its floop lowers an enemy's attack by 4.
** The unnamed Astral Fortress gives creatures 3 defense in the episode. In-game, it gives 4 defense.
** Cerebral Bloodstorm attacks the enemy with its own attack value in the proper game, while the episode keeps its effects vague but establishes it cannot do anything to the Pig, since it wasn't attacking by eating Jake's corn.
** The Fortress of Solitude renders the Pig inside invulnerable to all harm, while in-game it empowers the creature on its lane by 5 defense and attack for each empty lane.
** Jake attempts to use Field of Nightmares to scare Finn's Pig to death, but it was later given the ability to instead make a creature unable to be flooped the next turn. This still would have solved Jake's problem, since Finn kept flooping the Pig and weakening his corn creatures.
** Field Reaper is depicted as brainwashing all of Finn's cards onto Jake's side. Naturally, it has a much less OP effect in the real game, lowering the attack of all enemies by 4.
** The Immortal Maize Walker gets a triple damage bonus for being on a cornfield in this episode. The game makes it a Useless Swamp creature, meaning it can only be played on the Useless Swamp.
** The Silo of Truth allows Jake to see Finn's hand and take one of his cards. The game makes it so that the creature in its lane gains 2 extra attack for each card in the opponent's hand.
** The Spirit Tower moves an enemy onto the player's lane. In the game, it deals 5 damage to the opponent when a new card is played on its lane.
** The game version of the Volcano card destroys all creatures in play on both sides, and is combined with a Reclaim Landscape card to revive all of Jake's creatures at once. There is no Reclaim Landscape card in the proper game, and Volcano only wipes out creatures and buildings on one lane for both the user and opponent.
** The conditions of victory in the episode are to eliminate all of the opponent's creatures. The game uses a life points system, in which the players both attack each other directly until they run out of health.

Added DiffLines:

* AchillesHeel: The pig's ability to eat Jake's corn heavily dampens his units' abilities. The fact that it doesn't count as a movement also renders it safe from his Cerebral Bloodstorm. However, it sinks into a mud landscape after killing the old man on it, which Jake implies is a specific weakness of the pig.


Added DiffLines:

* BadassPacifist: Finn doesn't ever actually attack, his only actions being sending his pig to eat Jake's corn, having his Ancient Scholar study to raise the dead, and reviving the pig after Jake uses a volcano to eat his corn again, which prompts his Spirit Tower to bring Jake's Maize Walker onto his side of the board.
