Ban & Errata
The official banned list and errata from the Comprehensive Rulebook 8.0, Appendix B.
Rulebook 8.0 (PDF)Cards as they appear in the Alpha Clash Trading Card Game may not represent the correct text, characteristics, and intent of that card design. For the exact wording of a card, reference the official card database at alphaclashtcg.com. However, mistakes do happen, and clarification and/or rewording, and banning cards is necessary to facilitate an enjoyable experience and fair gameplay. Banned cards are not allowed in competitive play for Tiered 1-4 events. The adjusted text of a card is known as an errata. For the cards listed below, ignore the written text as shown on the card and apply this adjusted phrasing. Errata text replaces any outdated text (for the card in the indicated printed set) and represents the correct wording and intent of the card. Finally, in an effort to reduce the reliance on this Appendix, future sets may include reprints of the cards listed below WITH their errata text applied.
