Ravenous Baboons

Monkey Type Updates

I don't understand the Monkey type updates. Sure, it would be nice to have the monkey and ape type line up with actual taxonomy, but I would imagine gameplay trumps that. Why are cards like Monkey Cage and Ravenous Baboons being changed away from their printed wordings, when they have never been printed with monkey? If you change Ravenous Baboons just because baboons are actually monkeys, shouldn't Hooting Mandrills get changed too, because mandrills are actually monkeys?

The intent is all actual Monkeys should be Monkeys.
