Whiteout is a format I play with my kids. It is a great way to use all those old white-bordered cards from yesteryear. Through extensive play-testing it has proven to be fun, interesting, and balanced, without many of the broken combos of other formats. With the deck construction limitations it is easy to put a deck concept together without having to have '4 of every card'. Try it out and remember; "Trix are for kids!"

Deck Construction:

1. Decks must include at least 40 cards with no more than 3 of any card per deck. If a sideboard is used it must contain exactly 10 cards.

2. All cards must have white borders and 'normal' brown backs. This includes:

   • Unlimited
   • Revised
   • Chronicles
   • 4th - 9th Editions
   • 'Starter' sets
   • 'Anthologies' boxed set
   • 'Battle Royale' boxed set
   • 'Beatdown' gift set

3. The following cards are banned.

   • Any card with a black, grey, or gold border or a different back such as the 'World Champion' decks.
   • Any foil card.

4. The following cards are restricted to one per deck:
