Promotional Card Legality
TappedOut forum

The following cards are incorrectly listed as being not legal in any format. They are legal in the Vintage format, and by extension, Commander/EDH:
Mana Crypt, Nalathni Dragon, Sewers of Estark, Windseeker Centaur

FYI, the issue with Mana Crypt specifically is forcing one of my decks to be classified as "prototype", and it's just something that annoys me.

Okay, so apparently the fix for this was to uncheck the "prototype" box, then click "Save and Continue Editing", then click "Save" to make it stay unchecked. Weird stuff. The legalities for the cards still need fixing, though.

Hi Rhadamanthus. Nalathni Dragon, Sewers of Estark and Windseeker Centaur should be correct now.
The format options listed in T/O's card database do not match Gatherer word-for-word though (such as Classic, Tribal Wars Legacy, etc), so I'm not entirely sure which options to select for Mana Crypt. I'll double check that one and update it ASAP. :)

The legality for Mana Crypt is exactly the same as all the others, except for being restricted in Vintage and banned in Legacy. Just select the same options except for those details, I guess...
Because it was printed in Masters Edition II on MtGO, it's also legal in the online Classic format, where it's restricted.

Oh right, I didn't realise Classic was an Online format. :) I prefer the real cards, so I don't do MtG Online.
I'm having some trouble updating that particular card for some reason though, each time I try it throws up the general "ornithopters deployed" error... I only recently started helping maintain the cards though, so I've emailed squire1 to report the error, hopefully we'll get it sorted out soon.

Not legal in Legacy, restricted in Vintage, legal in EDH. Basically, the legality is just like Sol Ring, so use that as an example.

Hey again Rhadamanthus. Just to let you know, I just tried again to update Mana Crypt, this time the Restricted Format selection saved properly. :)

I really appreciate the help. I'm sure plenty of other people will be pleasantly surprised to see the card not showing up as "illegal" in their EDH list anymore.

No problem at all.. :) I don't have unlimited access to the admin side, but I'm glad to help out wherever I can.

Oh, and all of them except for Mana Crypt
are also legal in Legacy.
