Rules: The rules of Premodern, including the legal sets and banned cards, can be found at premodernmagic.com/rules.

Reprints/Proxies: The Czech Championship is a non-proxy event. All tournament legal reprints are allowed. That means that you can play either your Alpha, Japanese 4th, or Magic 2011 Lightning Bolt. Note that Collector's Edition (IE/CE) and World Championship/Gold Bordered cards are allowed at the Czech Championship. All players are expected to use card sleeves with matt background to prevent any potential misuderstandings regarding imperfect card conditions. This is especially true for IE/CE/WCD cards.

Deck lists/photos: You need to upload both written decklist and a photo of your deck before May 17th 23:59 CEST (UTC +2) via your registration link. No deck changes are allowed afterwards. There might be random deck checks during the tournament.

If you do not have all cards available for taking your deck photo (e.g., because you intend to borrow some cards on site right before the event), you can substitute the missing cards with proxies. However, we remind you that use of proxies in the tournament itself is prohibited.

If you fail to upload your decklist and deck photo until the aforementioned deadline, you will be disqualified from the event.
