My opponent (chemo) just played a Crystal Golem dealing 9 damage. This should be impossible according the card text, since you can't have more then 8 cards on hand. So either it has counted the Holy card in my hand (Shadow Fairy) or it counted both it's Unliving and it's Holy Keyword separately.

It's kinda sad that exactly by that 1 extra dmg, Lookout Towers condition doesn't trigger.

It does count the holy and unliving separately. If you have multiple crystal golems in your hand the attack and wall increase can be huge.

It does, indeed, always count its own Unliving and Holy keywords for two points. Crystal Golem will always do at least two points of damage.

Holy. Unliving.

Attack: N
Wall: +3N
N = #Holy + #Unliving cards in hand

Reading it a second time it does fit that interpretation somewhat...
Though I think the text could use some clarification. Like:

N = (#Holy cards) + (#Unliving cards) in hand

This way there is more emphasis on this

Still Id appreciate some confirmation from the Mod's, cause it get's somewhat too powerful this way. I think it's somewhere between common and uncommon now. (Id suggest putting a max to it's wall.)

It works just like Zealot does, and is worded the same.

Never realised that too. If so, same goes for that one. Some clarification might not be a bad idea.

Seems obvious enough to me; you just didn't read it literally. It doesn't say anything about holy OR unliving, it's holy AND (ie: +) unliving.

I thought that the card text was clear, but sure we can change the "and" into a "+", if it helps.

That wouldn't help.
It would make a difference if it was mentioned that cards with both keywords are counted double, or if an explicit math-like notation is used.
It's probably as useful just to added this to Game Manual (Card terminology) & FAQ.
