Weekly Tournament - July 13th - Law of the Excluded Middle - Unupgraded

Lycanthrope is missing

Nope. Its ability cost is two, so it's banned.

[BeefSupreme]

are pillars allowed? because I don't see them in the list. ARE THEY BANNED OR ALLOWED?!

Pillars and pendulums are always allowed, unless otherwise stated.

Nope. Pillars and pendulums are always banned from unupped tourneys. THEY'RE NEVER ALLOWED. GOOD LUCK

[Embrada]

why are discord and dissipation shield banned they cost two to play

Those both cost 3.

[UndeadSpider1990]

Only cards with ability cost that is not 2 are allowed.

So Spark is not allowed because it does not have an ability which costs 1, 3 or more???

--> Cards with abilities that cost 2 are not allowed.

Spark doesn't have an ability, silly goose. Spark is allowed because it costs less than 3 quanta.

Sorry I should be clearer.

My issue was just with the wording of the rule. I found it a little confusing at first that's all.

The only problem with abilities is that a creature whose ability costs 2 quanta is banned.

Clarification:

Nymph Queen is capable of making banned cards (e.g. Green and Golden Nymphs), but is it still allowed?

(Just my opinion but if shards are banned probably Nymphs should be too.)

[ddevans96]

If a wording is unclear, you just look at the allowed cards list.

Wording fixed regardless.

Clarification:

Nymph Queen is capable of making banned cards (e.g. Green and Golden Nymphs), but is it still allowed?

Yes, it's still allowed. Again, check the allowed cards list.

The only reason I ask is that previously the TO's have ruled the other way. One time the tournament rule was that your deck could only use either permanents, creatures, or spells (Pillar and Pends excluded, of course). In that tournament Graveyard was banned because it was capable of creating illegal cards. But as long as the rules are clear, I'm happy to play these rules (because I have a Nymph Queen )
