Extended Tournament Format
This page contains updates through the 12/01/03 tournament announcement.
Legal Card Sets
Decks can be composed of cards from any edition from Sixth Edition on
or expansion from Tempest to the present. This means that cards from
Limited Edition, Unlimited Edition, Revised Edition, Fourth Edition,
Fifth Edition, Chronicles, Arabian Nights, Antiquities, Legends, The Dark,
Fallen Empires, Ice Age, Homelands, Alliances, Mirage, Vision, and
Weatherlight
are legal only if they also appear reprinted in a newer set.
Collector's Edition cards are not allowed. Promotional cards are not allowed.
The poker cards are not allowed (despite the April Fools article in the
Duelist). Unglued cards with a silver border are also disallowed.
Portal cards are not allowed unless they have the same name as a
legal card. In this case, they play as the legal card text and not the
Portal card text. Starter cards follow the same rules as
Portal cards.
New card sets become effective on the first day of the month
following their introduction. If a set is released after the 15th day of
a month, then the set's effective date is pushed out to the first of the
second month. For example, a set released on January 8th is legal on
February 1st, and one released on January 25th is legal on March 1st.

different languages or from different prints but which are the same card
are considered the same.
