Won my first ever Commander game thanks to a massive Italian translation error!

Hey everyone,
I just bought the Quintorius precon (it’s great!) and played my very first Commander game. While playing, I noticed something felt "off" about the card [[Augusta, Order Returner]], and it turns out I was right.
In the Italian version, the text is completely mistranslated. Instead of saying to exile cards from the Graveyard (as it should), it says to exile them from the Library!

The funny part? I actually won my first game specifically because I used the card the "wrong" way (based on the Italian text) before checking the English Oracle text.
Has this ever happened to you? Are there any other famous examples of translation errors so gross that they completely change the card's effect?

P.S. I’ve already reached out to Wizards of the Coast to report this mistake, hoping they’ll fix the text in future print runs so other players don't get as confused as I was!

Traduzione completamente sbagliata di Augusta, l’Ordine Ritornato

Ho comprato il precon di Quintorius e mentre lo giocavo per la prima volta qualcosa non mi tornava con la carta Augusta, l’Ordine Ritornato ed avevo ben ragione. La carta in italiano dice di esiliare le carte dal grimorio e non dal cimitero! Al contrario della versione in Inglese che infatti avrebbe avuto più senso nel mazzo.
Cosa si fa in questi casi? É già successo un errore di traduzione cosi grossolano da cambiare radicalmente l’effetto?
