Cards Realm

Challenger Decks will arrive in April 1st!

However, there's a problem: One of the cards has been banned since the deck was created

Cards Realm

The problem affects the Mono White Aggro deck

It contains 3 copies of the Faceless Haven card

Cards Realm

Faceless Haven was banned from Standard in January 25, 2022

The company said that the card was too strong on its own, and to weaken Mono-White and Mono-Green, which were dominating the format, they had decided to ban it

Cards Realm

The solution found by Wizards is as follows:

"For tabletop formats: This deck will still be legal for tournament play in tabletop Magic: The Gathering formats, but only as is. Specifically, the 60-card deck and 15-card sideboard will be legal as long as no changes are made to it."

Cards Realm

That means the deck can only be played right out of the box, without any modifications

If the player decides to modify the deck, he/she must remove Faceless Haven from it entirely

Cards Realm

As Challenger Decks are a tabletop-only product, the deck will still be illegal in Standard on Magic Arena and Magic Online

Cards Realm

The other Challenger decks haven't been affected by this problem
