⚖ Rules Enforcement
SorceryFest is about gathering and fun.
Sorcery is, at heart, a kitchen-table game — and we embrace that spirit.
Our guiding principle:
Use Common Sense & Be Cool.
We support fierce battles — not cutthroat rules lawyering.
We will have a team of judges present to assist with rules questions.
We follow official EC guidelines and do not restrict cards beyond official rulings.
