What This Means for Local Play
If you are heading to a tournament or locals from 21 September onward, make sure your decklist follows the new limits. Cards that have moved to Unlimited can be run at three copies again, while the newly Forbidden cards must come out entirely.
As always, double-check your deck before you play, and swing by the store if you need to pick up replacements for your favourite builds.
Good luck out there, duelists!
