Confirmed Ria Ivor, Bane of Bladehold misleading

The displayed effect on Ria Ivor might be a bit misleading to some players. Had a lenghty discussion on the interaction with my opponent what would happen if Adeline in the situation in the screenshot below would be blocked or would not be blocked.

As can be seen from the screenshot, the effect attached to Adeline until end of turn states "Prevent all combat damage from Adeline". Ria Ivor states, that only combat damage to players is prevented and then Mites get created.

So if Adeline gets chumped, two outcomes are possible.

1. Gala Greeters blocks, Adelines damage is prevented, 5 mites get created.
2. Gala Greeter blocks, Adelines damage is not prevented, Gala Greeters die and no mites are created.

Now the effect on Adeline would suggest, that the damage will be prevented regardless of being blocked or not and you would get the mites.

Turns out that the effect is handled correctly in game, i.e. Adeline is blocked by Greeters, Greeters die, no mites created.

Suggestion: The effect should read "prevent all combat damage dealt to players by ..."

Hope this makes sense.
