Q: Hi,
We would like to play in Strict format. Which promos can we use? All Ivory legal promos, for example Family Dojo & Bamboo Harvesters or just the Ivory 2 legal?
Thanks a lot!
A: For questions regarding different formats, you'll want to post them in the Floor Rules thread found here. Jon Palmer, "Strict format", 19 Jun 2014
Q: The rulebook says on pages 89/90 that Border Keep and Bamboo Harvesters (specifically, not "versions of") may not be included in one's deck, but it does not say the same about The Experienced versions.
A: The rule means any card with the title "Border Keep" or "Bamboo Harversters" may not be included in your deck, regardless of version. Brook Cunningham, "Border Keep, Border Keep Experienced", 20 Nov 2012
Q: Hello, I know this isn't a priority what with the giant Kuon thread and there apparently being no scheduled Legacy events for GenCon but has the Legacy Council decided what to do about the new mulligan holdings in the Legacy Format? I apologize if this is already under discussion, but I just wanted to inquire as Border Keep and Bamboo Harvesters seem as if they could potentially break several already overpowered decks.
A: That would be a question for the Legacy Council.
While the Rules Team can (and does) make rulings on older cards, we have no jurisdiction in terms of format design issues.
That falls under the purview of Design, and in this case the Legacy Council. Dan Jacobson, "Legacy Ruling: Border Keep/Bamboo Harvesters", 14 Jul 2009
