No, no- 'debuffs' only affect the opposing team. (unless otherwise stated) Like, Thaddius Brood- the -1 Magic Attack and -1 Health only affect the opposing team.
The -1 Armor (and Health) really help out the "Blast" havers o your team- taking away that pesky armor that might soak some of your Blast damage otherwise.
It affects your team only. Otherwise, the sentence below doesn't make sense.
"Ouch. That hurts. But do the Tactics make up for it? Survey says... you bet."
If it affects the enemy team only, why does the Tactics had to "make up for it"
There's also no rules about if it's negative negative, like Thaddius Brood, it is enemy team only. There just wasn't a summoner "yet" that would affect your team negatively because debilitations hasn't introduced yet so an ability negatively affecting your team didn't exist until now.
But it's just a theory until we see the card release.
You know? on 2nd (3rd? 12th?) read- it IS a little ambiguous. I may even be leaning toward your interpretation, TBH.
It all 'hinges' on the sentences before the one you quoted:
"...as well as a teamwide debilitation. Force Reduction
Reduces maximum team size by 1.
Ouch. That hurts. But do the Tactics make up for it? Survey says... you bet."
That makes sense, as a -1 to team size hurts. Six becomes five, Five becomes four, etc. It's the phrasing of the start of that sentence "...teamwide -1 armor and -1 health debuffs..."
"Teamwide" does seem to indicate your team, not your opponent's but as you say: It's all theory until we see the card release or get some clarity from the team. @clayboyn
Sorry to bother you about this then- I do appreciate that you were able to (mostly) clear up our confusion though.
I checked 'in game' as with your screenshot and it does say "All enemy Monsters have" -1 Armor/Health for the debuffs. So, it looks like- as far as anyone knows: the opposing team all gets -1 Armor/Health not your team.
Whether that holds when the card is released is, of course, anyone's guess.

I don't work for the team anymore. I've been working for the DAO for almost 11 months now.
The card is viewable in game:

If anything, I think the debilitation needs more clarification:

It's fine, just don't want people misunderstanding the situation. I can't speak for them in any official capacity.
As far as the card, I suppose they could change it, but since they published the post and then loaded it onto the site today, my guess is this is it.
