If you have any questions about whether or not a particular card you wish to use is banned, please ask an admin!
While not banned, it is worth noting that search effects and draw cards are useless in our format. The exception to this is land search cards, as they will function the same way they would in a normal game.
Also not banned are cards that modify the amount of counters on other permanents. However, charge counters and time counters may never be modified by cards that did not originate them.
Fastbond and related effects (such as Burgeoning) may be used, but are limited to one additional card a turn. Effectively, these cards function as an additional Exploration.
The following cards cannot be used.
All cards with the creature type Eldrazi, including creature tokens and all cards that create Eldrazi tokens from the Zendikar sets. You may use the mutated Eldrazi creatures from Shadows over Innistrad and Eldritch Moon.
All ante cards.
All conspiracies.
All cards that force a player to discard his or her entire hand (e.g. Sire of Insanity)
All mana-generating non-creature artifacts
All cards with Amplify.
All cards with Manifest, Morph, or Megamorph.
All of the Power Nine
All fetch lands
All cards that grant additional turns
All cards that interact with revealing a player's hand to do damage, such as Darigaaz
Non-creature Ritual Effects, including High Tide and Bubbling Muck
Non-creature Silence effects
All cards that make players mill until they reveal a land (like Balustrade Spy).
All cards that require you to reveal cards from the top of your library, such as Epiphany at the Drownyard
All planeswalker cards
All cards that require beginning a new game, such as Shahrazad
Leylines and Chancellors can be used, but you cannot reveal them from your opening hands.
