Imperial Seal

woogerboy21 · 01-13-2010, 09:47 AM

So any idea why a card like Imperial Seal is not restricted / banned list in legacy but a card like Vampiric Tutor is?

Puzzling....

Also Imperial Seal is strictly worse than Vampiric Tutor, but both are banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage, as mentioned.

It's a sorcery, while Vampiric Tutor is an instant.

Vampiric is instant speed, which means you can use it on your upkeep before the draw phase. Imperial on the other hand is a sorcery.

Imperial Seal is a Sorcery while Vampiric Tutor is an instant. A pre-emptive response: Imperial Seal is in a set that was very difficult to get hold of...so thats why it is worth significantly more money.

My apologies. I couldnt decide if it was a general or rules topic since the original question was about the question of the legality of a card in a particular format.
