Is it Legal for a Tournament?


Well, now you can check!

I feel this was made due to Netrunner having their rotation coming out next year. I doubt we will see this affect the miniature lines though it does help the rest of the world when it comes to what they can use in a tournament.

Totally affects the Miniatures line.

We can now say with more confidence that Wave III will not be legal at Hothgary Regionals...

As it is a premier level event, makes it an 11 day buffer zone, where we were expecting it only 5-6 days beforehand...

But we may be pleasantly surprised

Oh, it's absolutely going to afect the miniatures lines. In fact, it affected Armada last year less than a week ahead of Worlds.

And low and behold, categorically, alternate art cards are not legal....

Are you going to be the guy who tries to get your opponent disqualified because they're using the alt-art ISD-II card they won at Sullust?

No, the guy who points out ffg's stupidity months in advance so they can fix the issue before someone else tries it.

I would argue that tt is still covered by the FFG tournament rules, stating that offical FFG components are required.

Otherwise, you're also stating that Store Championship Acrylic rulers are banned. Which, as we know, they are not. Because they are covered by the Tournament rules.

This set of rules outlies which boxes are... The Leading Shots card is in the CR90a Box. As long as the CR90a Box is Legal, Leading Shots is Legal. Alt Art or Not.

I do entirely get what you are saying, Ginkapo... And, honestly, its no slight against you for saying it. Nonewhatsoever.

Its just a shame that, well, that point is going to be raised at all at some point. Which, yes, I agree with you, it will... But I think any Judge-or-Higher would, in the very spirit of the community, be keeping this in mind...

And notice, as well, this is only for premier events being held in North America. For all lower level events, things are legal at release, as they always have been...

Specifically, this effects only Regionals and Above.

The thing is, I'm not seeing the text that you're reading. Are you inferring it from the fact that tournament kits are not listed as legal products for use in tournaments?

Whereas third party tools are explicitly stated in the tournament rules.

Unless you have the proof of purchase components are not eligible, thats in the rules too.

I think it's just one of those "legal" rules that has to be there but is never asked/used.

Oh I agree. Then they went and made an entire page to being the comprehensive guide on the subject. But it failed to be comprehensive.

Where does it say that? The regs seem to say that "All Star Wars: Armada components are legal for Standard Play tournaments", and the page referenced by the OP is just there to discuss the timing of those products becoming legal.

What am I missing that you're seeing?

it would be funny if they left off the core set to mess with people

Wait.. You mean, technically, I was supposed to keep the silly little "proof of purchase" cardboard tokens?

Bwahahahaha!

Wait. Alt Art cards are "illegal"? Wellllll...I guess I shouldn't have traded for all those alt arts.

Don't you love hyperbole and absurdity?

That is absurd and over exaggerated and you know it.

But yet, it still fails to adequately describe just how much I effing adore it
