Scythe of the Wretched reads "Whenever a creature dealt damage by equipped creature this turn dies, return that card to the battlefield under your control. Attach Scythe of the Wretched to that creature."
How it is functioning in game is "Whenever a creature dealt damage by a creature this turn dies, return that card to the battlefield under your control. Attach Scythe of the Wretched to that creature."
This is not correct, and makes the card significantly stronger.
It isn't a may effect so I can't even choose to not use the exploit other than by not using the card.

In this game, my Liliana. Heretical Healer, was destroyed in combat by an opponent's Maelstrom Wanderer while I had a scythe in play (not attached to any creature) and controlled no other non-land permanents.
I cast an Undying Malice targeting my Liliana, to get the creature back after combat, however, when she was destroyed, Scythe's ability brought Liliana back to play (untapped and with no counter, so it wasn't my mistake confusing Undying Malice) and attached itself to Liliana.
