question-circle What should be done with Reversal of Fortune?

What exactly is "not numerous"?

Because on the website I'm looking at the errata/ruling/clarification list is divided into 5 seperate pages, that are all several pages long.

There is literally HUNDREDS of them. How is that "not numerous"?

we don't want to require knowing this site to play.


The VEKN disagrees. See: Villein.

For numerous years, magic was far, far worse (in proportion, because Magic may have something like 10 to 100 more cards), to the point they actually have reversed most of them, so that people can actually play the card without having to reads thousands of pages of erratas..

The VEKN disagrees. See: Villein.


The VEKN have talked about half a dozen cards to ban or errata. One have been errated. So, as you see, the VEKN don't like to ban or errate card.

In both case, would you support an errata for Tortured Confession that remove the blood cost ? It's more or less the same reasoning : bothering to errata or ban the card can be thought as not worth the effort.

It's just that changing Reversal is a bit more meaningful (and controversial) than Tortured Confession or Twisting the Knife. But in both case the "no need to act for something so small" is a valid argument that you may or may not adhere to.

Completely irrelevant. You said that it's bad if players need to be familiar with this site in order to play in official VEKN tournaments. That's already the case, because there's never been a print of Villein that has the proper card text. Since players already need to be familiar with this site in order to play in a tournament (at least according to your standards of personally needing to know all current rules, banned cards and cardtexts) that argument against banning RoF is a total non-starter. It's just objectively wrong. *shrug*

I've never heard of the play of a Tortured Confession that disrupted a VTES table, let alone prevented two or three players from being able to do anything for an hour. Your analogy is poor.

So because another game has even MORE errata, the HUNDREDS we have for VTES are not numerous suddenly?

FYI, while Magic may a larger number of actual errata, the number that are relevant at any given (somewhat meaningful) tournament is much smaller.

No it's not. When tortured confession gets played people just go "wut, really... lol?". When Reversal of Fortunes gets played, it breaks the game.

Now just waiting for lame argument: "If Reversal of Fortune is banned next is gonna be Una, Tupdogs, Deflection etc. and banning will never end." Anyway only good arguments not to ban Reversal of Fortune I see are.
1. Somebody thinks Reversal of Fortune decks are actually cool and good for game.
2. Reversal of Fortune still is very minor problem and banning would cause argues + ban list would go larger. I feel especially Vtes players can be a bit stubborn and old school so banning minor thing might not be best option even if game would improve by tiny amount.
