You remember those really nice States dice from last year? Or how about the Pokegym dice given out at Nationals? They now made it so that dice like those are expressly legal as long as they fit all of the other requirements for legal dice randomizers are met (D6, clear, rounded edges)

SO biggest changes in a nutshell:

-No non-english cards in the US, period.
-You do not have to share what you write with your opponent but everything else still seems to stand, so it doesn't look like they changed what you can write down, just changed that you don't have to show your opponent.
-Any coin agreed by both players can be used, and etched dice can be used as long as the etching is 1 or 6 and clear and with round corners,
-Matches are now 30 minutes with 3 turn end game for matches that go to time.


wish that last one was in last states, lol.

Any notes can be taken, apparently.

That contradicts itself. If you can write down _anything_ and it's all private from the opponent, why is Azelf and writing down the Prizes any different from that?

dmaster out.
 
@Bullados: So wait, I'm confused. You said we could use states dice now, but they're not clear. Are they an exception? Or are they still unusable?

Some are, some aren't. As long as they fit the rest of the requirements to be legal dice (translucent, D6, rounded edge), they're good.
