I did read it, and I agree with most of the points stated, however, I think that if someone brought a deck made up of entirely Japanese cards, more than likely, they would be of Japanese descent or something. If not, it would be as much of a disadvantage to the player with the Japanese deck as it would to the other player, considering they would have to look for the translation when asked. I just don't see the huge advantage. Either way, how could Lawman ban it when there is the clause I quoted above?
Yoyo: I never said I would/have banned japanese cards. I simply stated my opinion on an entirely japanese deck by an american in an american event. In fact, I never used the word "ban" at all.....you all have used that term. I simply showed you the rules and stated that japanese cards CAN and WILL be used at my events (and at all sanctioned events, unless the rules change) BUT that if it is determined that the use of said cards gives an advantage to said player, they could be penalized or asked to use some english cards.
Every american player that I have encountered that uses japanese cards in their decks has american cards too! They CHOOSE to use japanese cards. Sometimes, you dont have enough english cards to complete ALL the copies of said card, but they usually have some of the english ones. So, you tell me.....wyh do they CHOOSE to go all japanese?? I certainly have my ideas. I wont place them all here.
