If you're spending a bunch of time and money to attend an official national tournament, I really don't see why you wouldn't talk about potential legal cards -- released or unreleased. Also, this thread IS suppose to be about the implications of the new FAQ and tournament rules document...
Furthermore, those not wanting discussion about unreleased cards -- please don't share any comments in the future on spoiled cards (by FFG or otherwise) until they are officially out. Probably shouldn't even read the spoiler articles because really -- what would be the point?
As for the FAQ update, I think everything is fine. Thought a bit more could have been done, but I guess since the 4th chapter pack won't be legal for GenCon (bummer, it's Regionals all over again) FFG felt they could wait on a few things until after the tournaments are over.
