You used to be able to add it to battle in teams but they changed that because it would be a broken ctb card.

right, but thats no longer allowed, so doubt is still relegated to an utterly useless card, right?

They changed that?  Since when?  I had it used against me *twice* in teams at Regionals.

im sincerely starting to feel sorry for any regionals that doesn't start with 'north central' at the beginning.

That rule was never "changed". It just plain never existed. We used it at Nats 2008 when Teams was just a house format. It has never and will never be tournament legal.

We had elder confirmation that it was allowed at NE Regs.  Can I get it ruled here otherwise?

Post the ruling question. Anyone who disagrees with me, is frankly, daydreaming. If the topic still exists, I am about 90% sure that Professor Underwood specifically asked about Doubt (to clarify its worthlessness) to Rob when Teams was announced as official, and Rob replied that no house rules/erratas would be used in tournament play.

If I had been aware of this play, I would have ardently condemned any ruling supporting its legality.

Per the Teams Official Rules Thread:

Regarding # 2)  I am not going to make Doubt do something it doesn't do to accommodate teams.  Understand that as much as possible errata is reserved for correcting a card when it is doing something unintended that is breaking the game.  Errata is not going to be used upgrade cards to make them more useful.

Just out of curiosity, do the people who post in this thread regularly and don't have membership actually play type ban?
Seems counter-productive to want your opinion heard but have no power to do anything with it.
Perhaps I'm just against the idea, and enjoy the discussion.

Doubt's not useless in Teams.

Wasn't directed at you, but only person who responded.

This is correct.  When I was first developing the TEAMS format, Doubt did have an "unofficial errata" that allowed it to be played in battle (however, there was also soon a rule that said that if you played it during your opponent's block, that your opponent was STILL allowed to add one of their own characters to block as well).  This made Doubt a very interesting card in TEAMS, but also stopped it being used as a CTB card that it was not intended to be.

However, when TEAMS became an official category, Rob wanted it to line up with all the other categories, and therefore the "unofficial errata" on Doubt had to go.  That was also when the definition of "your" changed to become specifically about 1 player on a team.

Troll posting my bans on last day.

So I played various games. I love the bans as a general rule. Honestly, I don't see any problems with the bans as they currently are, though. I do not see that banning CM and AotL would help at all, but I won't directly oppose it. I guess I'm more neutral. I fully support all bans that are currently in place, though.


Also, I'm going away, so I can't participate in the next round or two. Sorry x.x

Played a very one-sided game. The person who won got off to an amazing start and just kept plowing away from there. By the end of the game, he had 9001 cards in territory and the person who lost had 3 or 4. And then the winning RA used CTB Damsel with Serpent in hand just to twist the blade XD

However, the person who lost had 4 and almost won, despite a 7 turn card disadvantage and depleted hand the entire game. This was possible because TB is super-awesome.

I am still lobbying for banning CM and AotL. Eliminating them would help decentralize the game even further and force players to build decks well to account for particularly nasty characters, rather than relying on a Dom to solve the problem.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!
