⚖ 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.
