Does Casey Jones - Pain 101 work when blocking anyone or only when blocking a sidekick or TMNT villain? The printed wording is:

If your life total is less than 15, and Casey Jones blocks or is blocked by a sidekick or (TMNT Villain), gain 1 life.

If the card were reworded along the lines of the following, which would be correct:

If your life total is less than 15 and Casey Jones does one of the following:

• Blocks
• Is blocked by a sidekick or (TMNT Villain)

Gain 1 life

OR

If your life total is less than 15 and Casey Jones does one of the following:

• Blocks a sidekick or (TMNT Villain)
• Is blocked by a sidekick or (TMNT Villain)

Gain 1 life

I'm new to Dice Masters, so it could be there's an established precedent for this kind of wording ambiguity that I'm missing. If that's the case, I apologize for my lack of knowledge and would appreciate being pointed to wherever that may be.

As a new player, welcome to Dice Masters!

The second interpretation is correct. One way to reach this conclusion would be a suggestion from this post: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8510
When in doubt, choose the weaker option.

Mousers: Rat Eradicator works in the same way. As another example, Guy Gardner: Heated works similarly too, but has different wording as it is an older card:

Guy Gardner also counts as [Green Lantern]. Guy Gardner gets +5A and +5D when engaged with a [Black Lantern] character die.
