The Reserve

(1/8) > >>

Gabe:
Beginning May 26th, 2017 players may begin using the Reserve in tournament play. The Reserve is used in both constructed and limited formats (effective January 1, 2019) only used for constructed events (Type 1 and Type 2). As a reminder, here is how it works:


* The reserve must contain between 0-10 cards.
* You must have a written list of the cards in the Reserve for each deck.
* Your deck + reserve must be a legal deck (ignoring Lost Soul to deck ratio rule as it applies to cards in the reserve).
* If you check in more than one deck, each deck must have its own Reserve.
* You check in the Reserve with your deck at the start of the event.
* At the time it's checked in, the reserve cannot contain Dominants or Lost Soul cards (the “Hopper” Lost Soul does not count towards Lost Soul deck building requirements and may be be included in the reserve).
* The Reserve is kept separate from your deck during game play.
* Each player's Reserve may only be viewed by the owner unless a special ability allows another player to view it.
* Only cards that specifically mention the Reserve can target cards in the Reserve.
* Your deck and reserve must be reset to their original state after each game.
We want to make this as clear and easy as possible for players and hosts alike to adjust to this deep new area of strategy that we've added to the game. If you have any questions or suggestion please feel free to leave them below or contact myself, The Guardian or Red Dragon Thorn directly by private message.

Gabe,
Thank you for posting this information.
Everything seems clear (to me), except this part:
"Your deck + reserve must be a legal deck (ignoring Lost Soul to deck ratio rule as it applies to cards in the reserve)."
Does that mean we cannot put extra copies of a card (with a special ability) in the reserve for a Type 1 deck?
Thanks,
EM

Correct

dermo4christ:
So say my deck is 56 and my gain soul comes out to shuffle a card from reserve...is the deck still legal....because the shuffle woukd out it at 57. Just confused still about reserve....

Gabe:
The line that is confusing is simply supposed to cover this:

If I have Hamans Plot in my main deck (99 cards or less T1) then I cannot also put Hamans Plot in my Reserve. Replace Hamans Plot with any card that has a SA and this still holds true. The Reserve is not a way to get an extra copy of a card that you could not otherwise use.

Your deck has to be legal at the start of the game. Events that make a deck illegal during a game have been allowed for years now (you can rip Hamans Plot if you're using a 50 card deck, the deck just won't be legal in subsequent games). Unlike the Hamans Plot example, the Reserve resets between games and your deck becomes legal again.
