You won't believe these cards a legal in Middle School!

There are several cards legal in Middle School you might not think of at first glance at the legal sets. Besides many cards from the Portal expansions, there is a note that reads the following:

"Additional Sets and Cards Allowed

Tournaments hosted by Eternal Central also allow all cards from the following box sets and special releases which were printed during the era: Pro Tour Collector Set Inaugural Edition (May 1996), Anthologies (November 1998), Battle Royal Box Set (November 1999), Beatdown Box Set (December 2000), Deckmasters: Garfield vs. Finkel (September 2001), World Championship Decks 1997-2003. Finally, the following cards that were Book Promos from the era are also legal: Arena, Sewers of Estark, Nalathni Dragon, Giant Badger, and Windseeker Centaur (note: Mana Crypt is banned). Arena League and DCI Membership Promos from the era (Fireball, Counterspell, Disenchant, Incinerate basic lands, etc.) are also legal in Middle School."

What to Know

These cards range from completely unplayable (Lady Orca) to potentially format defining (Hymn to Tourach). Keep them in mind when building your decks.

Additionally, Chronicles / Renaissance add a lot of cards you might not immediately think of. Same with Portal 1 2 and 3.
