The Unaligned: Previews

Kudos to everyone who had their hand in putting The Unaligned together - this is the best set we've had in a while, imho

Hey, thanks!

I can't wait to play some of these cards, which is one of the reasons I have to ask this question: why is The Unaligned going to be legal for tournament play starting with the 3rd of November?

Is this 1-month waiting period just a hungover from the days when the sets were printed and had to be physically delivered to stores, which could have limited their availability, or are there any other reasons for this?

It's mainly about giving all the players enough time to know that the cards exist and try them out, as well as to allow for some time for rules questions to happen so answers can be available. That way players aren't blindsided by brand new cards, and judges aren't blindsided by questions.
