Welcome to the Second Edition Gameplay Forum. In this forum, players from all around the world post to discuss strategy, speculate on the new virtual expansions, and seek answers to their questions.
If you have a question about a Second Edition card or rule, this thread will help you find the answers that you're looking for. If you're looking for help with a First Edition question, you'll need to visit our Gameplay (1E) Forum.
Finding Answers to Rules Questions
If you're trying to find out the answers to a question about a card or a ruling, here are the places you can look for the information you seek:
1. Use the Rules Tool
When rulings are issued regarding specific cards or card groups, they are entered into our Rules database here and will appear on the card lists. If a card has a ruling, it will appear beside the card image under the heading Related Rulings. However, please bear in mind that the rulings in this system are unofficial and merely reflect how the Rules Committee would rule were it present at your event. Your Tournament Director will still have final say on interpreting the Current Rulings Document and the Rulebook. Which leads us to:
2. Check the Current Rulings Document.
The Current Rulings Document, or CRD, is the collection of rules changes issued since the last revision of the rulebook. It is linked from the right-hand column of the front page. The CRD is updated on the First Monday of every month, as needed.
3. Check the Rulebook.
The rulebook provides the skeleton and essential rules to Second Edition game play. It is in this document where most game terms are defined, game concepts are explained, and most general rules questions can be answered.
4. Search the forums.
The Continuing Committee's forum software has a powerful search function than can help you find previous threads about your question. Try searching for the card title you're asking about, or some of the game concepts involved in your question (download, overcome, etc.)
5. Post your question.
If you haven't been able to find the answer to your question in an existing resource, you can start a new thread on the topic. We have a lot of knowledgeable and experienced players that regularly visit these forums and post, so there's a good chance someone will be able to answer your question.
The Rules Staff
Second Edition rules are maintained by the Rules Committee, made up of experienced players and judges from across the world. We do not reveal the identity of the members of the Rules Committee in order to protect their anonymity and to ensure their effectiveness and impartiality.
Rules Master
The leader of the Rules Committee is the Rules Master; for Second Edition, this is Tyler Fultz (DJstormtrooper). The Rules Master's job is to maintain the rules documentation and guide the Rules Committee's discussions on current issues. Posts by the Rules Masters are not official rulings unless explicitly marked as such (i.e. an emergency ruling.)
