General Rulings - 914

• 914.1 - Decks can be composed of cards from the most recent edition of The Gathering (currently Tenth Edition) and all sets from the two most recent "blocks" (currently Time Spiral/Planar Chaos/Future Sight, Coldsnap, and Lorwyn). A "block" is a stand-alone set and the two expansion sets which follow it. This means that cards stay in use for approximately two years. [DCI Floor Rules 125 - 2003/09/01]
  [DCI Update 2007/09/01]
• 914.2 - Cards from previous editions or expansions which also appear in the currently legal ones are allowed. [DCI Floor Rules 124 - 2003/09/01]
• 914.3 - The policy for removal of sets is that each new edition of the base set replaces the previous edition. A new standalone set will start a new block, and thereby replace the oldest "block" in use. A new limited expansion will add itself to the current "block". [DCI Floor Rules 124 - 2003/09/01]
• 914.4 - Minimum of 60 cards in a deck. [DCI Floor Rules 121 - 2003/09/01]
• 914.5 - Optional 'sideboard'. If you have one, it must be exactly 15 cards. [DCI Floor Rules 122 - 2003/09/01]
• 914.6 - No more than 4 of any card (by name) which is not a basic land can be in the combination of deck and sideboard. Cards with different art or in different languages or from different prints but which are the same card are considered the same. [DCI Floor Rules 121 - 2003/09/01]
• 914.7 - There are no 'restricted' (see Rule 910.3) cards in this format. [Update 2009/03/20]
• 914.8 - There are no 'banned' (see Rule 910.4) cards in this format. [Update 2009/03/20]
