Default Diamondback Rattler (GBM)

It's Bad Stuff say to lose my Steed and any Big item(s). But all Steeds in GBM are Big.
Why so strange wording? may be something I do not understand? Is it Bad Stuff mean just "lose all Big itams"?

Steeds are Big Items most of the time, and without going too deep into more complicated topics in the 101 forum, blended games create an opportunity for non-Item Steeds to exist. However, on the simpler side, since they carry themselves, they are special, allowing you to have more than one Big Item in play, and creating a source for argument as to what that really means in the case of something like Diamondback Rattler's Bad Stuff. By writing out very specifically what is intended, there can't be any argument, and it points to the meaning behind why one loses one's steed: A trope of the Western genre, where a horse is spooked by a rattlesnake, throws off its rider, and runs off.

You can only have one Steed in play (you can't have multiple and just not use some), normally. That counts for non-Item Steeds. So, if you have two that would mean you are using a card that would let you have and use two Steeds and you would be using both.

The Bad Stuff is to discard all of your Steed(s) and any other Big Items you have in play. There's no do one then the other.
