The following Celestial Edition legal cards have received errata, functional MRPs, or are banned. There are two types of errata; Functional Errata and Technical Errata. Functional Errata are made to correct unexpected rule interactions, misprints, or balance/gameplay issues. Technical Errata should have no impact on a common sense reading of the card and are intended only to make the card work properly in the technical rules. The date next to the card’s title is the date in which that erratum takes effect. A MRP is a card whose current version is different from a previously printed version. MRPs go into effect immediately upon release. All parts of the card unmentioned remain the same.
