As part of a plan to adjust wordings in all pre-{{Set|Empires}} sets, the following changes were made to very few cards for their sets' next print runs between the years 2016 and 2018.

The '''2016 Errata''' made several adjustments to both card functions and card text layouts to all pre-{{Set|Empires}} sets.
  
 
This was the first [[Errata]] and coincided with the [[Second Edition]]s of {{Set|Base}} and {{Set|Intrigue}}.

* {{Card|Mine}}, {{Card|Moneylender}}, and {{Card|Throne Room}} received a "you may" wording for accountability purposes.<ref name=change>In the first edition of Dominion, Moneylender's text did not include "you may": trashing a Copper was mandatory if Moneylender was played. [[Donald X. Vaccarino]] revised the card because that offered no provision for keeping the player honest: if a player claimed that they had no Coppers in hand, and that was why they weren't activating Moneylender's ability, there was no way for their opponents to verify that this was the case. This rarely made a difference in gameplay—if a player didn't want to trash a Copper, they simply refrained from playing Moneylender.</ref>
