If the text of a card directly contradicts the text of the rules, the text of the card takes precedence.
The only exception to the Golden Rule is when a card has received official errata. In such cases where a card has received an official errata, if the text of the errata directly contradicts the text of the rules, the text of the errata takes precedence.
