The sentence used on the card is correct, but I think we can improve it indeed (Principle of least astonishment).
The reason I didn't write clarification for the second sentence, is because a default exists (Action modifiers apply for the entire duration of the action, and by extension combat), and any extra would be superfluous. Goal is to reduce card text, like you said.
Okay, we can agree to disagree here. I believe this line of thinking is the reason for the original card text; it was assumed the reader would know to revert to the default for the second effect. I still think using the conditional tense with clarification as I've outlined is optimal, but at least we do agree that the original text needs to change.

That's an interesting way to put it
. But yes, if wishing to use conditional tense in this way on Mind of the Wilds, where we have two effects separated by ", and", with each effect having a unique duration, I think restating the duration of the second effect is needed even if a default exists. Even with full knowledge of the default duration for Action Modifiers, if reading this card quickly and not thinking too intently about how Action Modifiers work, one could easily make the mistake that the second effect is only for the first round of combat.

If stealth is not needed, you cannot play it at superior (but you can play it at inferior).

You're not clarifying, you're changing the card.
Could we clarify the superior text, too, please?[...]

»[ANI][AUS] As above, with +1 stealth.«
Is this "even if stealth is not yet needed" +1 stealth?
