Maximum number of cards in a T1 deck

[SomeKittens]

I've always thought it was 153, but the REG says:

There is no maximum of cards to a deck as long as it contains the appropriate number of Lost Souls; one Lost Soul for every six cards over fifty (50).

*Standard REG is old answer*

150ish was always kind of the effective limit of T1 deck sizes anyway, since non-ability Characters and Enhancements maxed out at three per deck, and if the point was to basically double and triple (and more) the same 50-ish cards from a small T1 deck, it became more complicated once you got past 150 and the number of cards you could repeat dropped off.

The actual T1 limit is 154 because that is the closest to 150 at exactly a 14 count of lost souls.

So there's nothing stopping me from making a 1000+ card deck?

Aside from irate tournament hosts, that is.

[The Guardian]

The deck max for T1 is 154 cards.

[TheJaylor]

The deck max for T1 is 154 cards.

Rob at one point had a post detailing the new deck limits but that post is now gone.  Did it get deleted or cached any where?  Is this rule no longer applicable? 

[Minister Polarius]

It's still valid.

Wouldn't a 154 card deck have to have 21 lost souls?

[Warrior_Monk]

Yeah. 14 is for 105.

[Korunks]

It's still valid.

Is it recorded any where?  It makes me more comfortable to have something to point people to.  I hate having to tell people "I can't prove it but trust me that is how it is".

[Minister Polarius]

I feel your pain.

Yeah, i just relized that a couple days ago, it is 21.

It took me awhile to find it since it's not in any official rulings threads, but here is the announcement from Rob regarding formerly experimental rules that are now official: http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=12852.msg268271#msg268271

He's got a good point. We should put this somewhere we can get to before its lost.
