Ban list
12 cards are banned in Standard Constructed, and 13 cards are banned in 2v2 Constructed. The latest change took effect September 18, 2026.
Errata
Riot has corrected the text of 52 cards: 8 in Vendetta, published July 23, 2026, and 44 from earlier sets.
Fallen Feline: when can you respond?
Can you wait for Fallen Feline’s controller to name a spell, then play it in response? No. The naming happens while its play effect resolves. Your response window is before that resolution, before you know the name.
Before the effect resolves, a player with priority can play a legal Reaction. An Action without Reaction cannot be played in that response window.
Already on the chain is different
Spells already on the chain are unaffected. Naming a spell does not counter it or remove it from the chain.

Which rules take precedence?
