A legal deck in matching sleeves

Every card in the deck must sit in identical, unmarked, opaque-backed sleeves. Mixed or scuffed sleeves are the single most common floor-rules problem at store level because they can mark cards.

Your phone, charged

Pairings, table numbers and result reporting all run through Bushi Navi. A dead phone means chasing the organizer for every pairing, so bring a battery pack for a long event.

Playmat and markers

The official playmat layout is published on the Rules page and shows every zone. Dice or counters cover damage and resources; anything that could be mistaken for a game object is better left in the bag.

A backup of your list

Keep a screenshot of your registered Deck Log list. If the app fails at check-in, a judge can verify your 50 cards against the screenshot far quicker than rebuilding from memory.

What not to bring

No proxies, no unreleased product, no cards with errata printed differently than the official errata page states — errata apply to the card's current official text in every tournament, official or unofficial.
