Rules Announcements / Re: Tournament Format Changes (T1, T2, Teams) - UPDATE 8-13-26 - Now In Effect
« Last post by RedemptionAggie on August 14, 2026, 12:22:32 AM »
The updated Deck Building Rules implementing these changes is now available on Cactus' downloads page. There are also updates to some of the Tournament documents available there, described here.

The document also includes updates to the Teams Rules, mentioned but not described above, to make the category more accessible and make the format feel more like a partnership for the teammates:
- Teammates will sit next to one another.
- Teammates will take one shared turn.
- Shared areas and card types will add the following: Sites, Artifacts and Artifact pile. This limits a team to one Artifact activation on the Artifact pile for their shared turn.
- Teams decks are not limited to 1 copy of a Dominant per team, however a team may only collectively play 1 copy per game. Those copies will be tracked in the team's Land of Redemption.
- Teams will have one shared battle phase. While only one player can attack/block, either player may play an Enhancement on their team's character in battle when the team has initiative.
- All Lost Souls will be played as meek. Players are not required to swap out SA souls to play.

It also includes the ban lists for each category on the last page. These are the CHANGES (not the full list) from the previous single ban list:

T1-Limited
- Ephesian Widow is no longer banned
- Imitate LS is BANNED

T2-Limited
- Ephesian Widow is no longer banned
- Imitate LS is BANNED
- Harvest Time is BANNED

T1-Teams Limited
- Ephesian Widow is no longer banned
- Burial (GoC) is BANNED
- High Places (GoC) is BANNED

T1-Unlimited
- Daniel (CoW) is the only BANNED card
- Ephesian Widow, Lost Souls (2-line and 3-line), Mourn and Weep, Samuel (RoA) and The Foretelling Angel (PC) are no longer banned. The original Endless Treasures (with the draw ability) is no longer banned, but it plays as the errata version.
