PC Errata/X-list

X-List Errata

The first batch of errata issued by the PC in March and April 2021 addressed cards which Decipher had already removed from one or more formats. Decipher added cards to the X-List for all sorts of reason, but regardless of origin the PC attempted to bring all cards to the same standard of playability.

As this was the first foray by the PC into making changes, many of them were very conservative--you could even call them "timid". In some cases only the smallest possible change was made to address the recorded reasons for why Decipher had altered a card--such as Legolas, Dauntless Hunter (4R73) being limited to 2; this addressed its reason for its ban from Expanded, but did nothing to address its otherwise infamous reputation.

The first installment of these errata targeted the 5 most impactful banned cards as detailed in these blog posts here, and later the rest of the Fellowship Block X-List cards followed along with the remaining Movie- and Expanded-era cards.
