Will Chinese Riftbound cards be legally playable in western events?

Ruling: Yes, Chinese cards are legal in western events according to the competitive rules. However, your entire deck must be in the same language (all Chinese or all English, etc.).

Nuances:

• While technically legal, using Chinese cards in western countries may create practical challenges for opponents and judges who need to verify card text
• At competitive events, judges may need to assist by showing card translations on a phone when requested
• Local tournament organizers could potentially restrict foreign language cards if it puts too much pressure on event organization
