Special June 2022 First Edition Ban / Errata / Watch List Update

by Charlie Plaine, Director of First Edition

24th June 2022

Hello fellow First Edition and happy release day for The Motion Pictures Remastered! As mentioned in the regularly scheduled June update, we have a special update for today that makes sure all versions of these cards contain the new text. If you're interested in seeing exactly what changes have been made, please continue reading. If you just want the changes to the ban and watch lists, read on.

OTF Ban List & Watch List Updates
Along with today's release, we are delighted to remove Ceti Eel and What Does God Need With a Starship? from the OTF Ban List. That means that as of the release of The Motion Pictures Remastered, none of the cards from Decipher's final full-sized expansion are banned in classic or modern First Edition play! As per our recent policy, we are automatically adding both of these cards to the Watch List. This will assist the department in monitoring the impact of these cards on the game. If everything remains stable for a few months after release, they will be removed from the Watch List at that time. Essentially, these recently unbanned cards are "on parole."

Again, if you aren't interested in the card by card details of the errata, you can stop reading this update here. Our next regularly scheduled updates to errata, the OTF Ban List, and the Watch List are scheduled for Monday, July 4th, 2022.

Errata Updates
A total of 74 errata are released today. Each of these errata match the original print from The Motion Pictures to the remastered versions release today. We had planned to also release the promo versions today, but I got really sick and fell behind on that. You can expect the promo versions no later than July 4th, 2022. The cards are presented in card list order:
