Hello everybody. I need help getting clarification on this army card's ability. For ease and reference, I will state it below. Followed by my concerns, thoughts and questions.
"Each non-Zombie creature within 2 clear sight spaces of any Blighted Reavers gets -2 (
)."
So let's start with scenarios, to propose questions and concerns.
Scenario 1.
I play them with Malakir Bloodchasers, which are vampires. Clearly, the text would mean that my own zombies have now reduced my vampire's because their not zombies. My concern is towards the creator's intentions. Would it make more sense to be stated as "Each opponents non-Zombie creature..."?
Scenario 2. (The big one)
My opponent has a creature within 2 clear sight spaces of all three Reavers. Does my opponent now receive a -6? The ability, to me, seems unclear or not specified enough. Per example of the Rhox Veterans, the word "each" is used twice in the sentence to clearly state that they could potentially have a +2 . In addition, against the Eldrazi Ruiner, I could park all three Reavers 1 space way from the Ruiner, and stand another creature on 1 glyph, now giving the Ruiner a -8 and it rolls 0 defense dice against adjacent attacks.
My thought on this is primarily, that I want to be playing it correctly. If that seems the consensus intentions, I would like to know. Personally, that seems to be a bit overpowered. But, if that's how it is to be played, I can work to counter or handle it.
Thank you for your time and thoughts.

does affect their own non zombie teammates. Also that the 
armies being of range 1, they'll likely end up in close quarters together.
