Cards with square cut corners: Legal in sanctioned tournaments?

*Skitty* · 10/25/2010, 02:02 AM

Are cards like this with corners that aren't rounded usable if you're using opaque sleeves? I would say no since even with opaque sleeves it would still be able to feel the corner of the card through the sleeve, making it marked. But I would like an official answer to this. So do all cards in the deck need to have the exact same "shape" or can you use cards like this without worry?

We can't give an official answer on this as it would be the HJ's place to make a determination.
There is a possibility of an issue with being able to detect the corners by feel, though, so it's not recommended for use.
