A limited deck may contain as many duplicates of a card as are included with the product. | ||

***'''100.4d''' In limited play involving other multiplayer team variants, each card a team opens but doesn't include in any player's deck is assigned to the sideboard of one of those players. Each player has his or her own sideboard; cards may not be transferred between players. | |||
**'''100.5.''' There is no maximum deck size. | |||
**'''100.6.''' Most '''Magic''' tournaments (organized play activities where players compete against other players to win prizes) have additional rules covered in the '''Magic: The Gathering''' Tournament Rules (found at [http://www.wizards.com/wpn/Events/Rules.aspx www.wizards.com/wpn/Events/Rules.aspx]). These rules may limit the use of some cards, including barring all cards from some older sets. | |||
***'''100.6a''' Tournaments usually consist of a series of matches. A two-player match usually involves playing until one player has won two games. A multiplayer match usually consists of only one game. | |||
***'''100.6b''' Players can use the '''Magic''' Store & Event Locator at [http://www.wizards.com/locator www.wizards.com/locator] to find tournaments in their area. | |||
