800 - Shared Tournament Format Rules
- 800.1 - Each tournament format defines what cards are included in that
format, and any special restrictions on deck construction.
- 800.2 - Formats that include recent card sets add new card sets to their
list on the 20th day of the month that closely follows their
introduction. [DCI Floor Rules 104 - 2003/09/01]
- 800.3 - Some formats include "restricted" cards. Cards that are restricted
can only have one copy included in a deck, rather than the normal limit
of 4. [DCI Floor Rules - 2003/09/01]
- 800.4 - Some formats include "banned" cards. Cards that are banned cannot
occur in legal decks. [DCI Floor Rules - 2003/09/01]
- 800.5 - All formats limit themselves to cards with a standard Magic card
back. This means that Collector's Edition cards, Championship and
Pro Tour deck cards, and promotional poker cards (despite the April Fools
article in the Duelist) are not allowed.
[DCI Floor Rules 102 - 2003/09/01]
- 800.5a - Unglued cards with a silver border are also banned from all
formats. [DCI Floor Rules 102 - 2003/09/01]
- 800.5b - Alpha printing cards can only be used if they are in unmarked
sleeves or if the entire deck is Alpha printing.
[DCI Floor Rules 102 - 2003/09/01]
- 800.6 - A sideboard is a set of cards which is brought to the tournament
along with your deck. Having a sideboard is optional.
[DCI Floor Rules 122 - 2003/09/01]
- 800.6a - In constructed formats, if you have a sideboard it must consist of
exactly 15 cards. In sealed deck formats, all your remaining cards are
considered your sideboard. [DCI Floor Rules 122 - 2003/09/01]
- 800.6b - Players cannot look through their sideboard during play.
[DCI Floor Rules 122 - 2003/09/01]
- 800.6c - Between games, you may choose to swap cards from your sideboard
with ones in your deck. In constructed formats, your sideboard must
still be 15 cards when you are done swapping.
[DCI Floor Rules 122 - 2003/09/01]
- 800.6d - You cannot use your sideboard before the first game of a match,
and between matches you must reset your deck and sideboard to the same
as they were at the start of the tournament. Basically, you play the
first game of each match with an unmodified deck.
[DCI Floor Rules 122 - 2003/09/01]
- 800.7 - Players must provide a way to visibly count life totals during play.
For example, counters, dice, pen and paper, etc.
- 800.8 - Your opponent is always entitled to shuffle or cut your deck before
each game and each time you are called to shuffle during a game. They
may not use this opportunity to see the cards in your deck. This rule is
in place to prevent players from stacking their deck.
