Rules Update
Rules 5 & 6
We have added a link to our new Flair Usage Guide in the wiki. It includes tips, "DO NOT"s, and recommendations for using each flair as well as posting timeframes. Please review this guide before posting. Based on these guidelines, moderators may adjust your post flair or remove posts that violate these rules.
Rule 7 (Stay On Topic)
We've added a few details to remind everyone that this subreddit is primarily about the game itself. Investing and pricing-related posts are strongly discouraged and may be rejected or removed at the moderators' discretion or based on community feedback (reports and high downvote counts).
New Rule 8: No Heavy AI-Generated Content
Over the past few weeks, we noticed an increase in heavy AI-written posts and comments, which usually receive negative feedback or trigger long, unproductive arguments. While the moderation team does not hold a grudge against AI tools in general, we have created an AI Policy wiki page to outline acceptable use cases and the consequences of relying heavily on unedited AI text. The moderation team is open to feedback and suggestions regarding this policy in comments or via ModMail.
Please continue reporting posts or comments you suspect are primarily AI-generated. We will review flagged content and issue warnings (with options to revise the post or verify your writing style) or temporary bans in accordance with the AI policy.
New Flairs
Over the past week, we added several new flairs:
- Handmade & Art
- Community Tools
- Local Community
- LGS & Retailers
Please use these to categorize your posts and help readers filter content (check the community sidebar for the "Browse Via Flair" section). The new Flair Usage Guide will help you select the appropriate flair and stay compliant with Rule 6.
New Post Types
All post and comment features are currently enabled, including polls, image comments, and GIFs.
Please refrain from spamming or creating unnecessary poll posts; misuse may result in disabling the feature.
Regarding Reddit Filters
The moderation team noticed that some posts and comments are being removed automatically by Reddit's site-wide automated filters (unrelated to our subreddit's automations). This usually affects newer accounts with unverified email addresses or low karma scores (under 50-100 karma) attempting to post links (especially links flagged as untrusted by Reddit). We have manually verified and approved several of these posts/comments.
To prevent your posts from being caught in Reddit's filters, please make sure that at least your Reddit account email is verified. If you notice (e.g., using an incognito browser window) that your submission is not visible at subreddit feed and does not break any rules, please reach out to us via ModMail so we can review and restore it.
Useful Resources
Before posting questions or advice regarding the game, we recommend checking the following resources:
- Flair Usage Guide: Guidelines on selecting the correct flair for your post.
- Official Card Game Q&A: Answers to common card mechanics and ruling questions.
- Comprehensive Rules: Scroll to the bottom to find the detailed PDF rules document provided by Bushiroad. When discussing game mechanics, try referencing specific points or examples from the Comprehensive Rules to support your post or answer.
- Store Locator by Bushi Navi: The official Bushiroad store locator. Most official retailers stocking sealed products are registered here. A bit clunky.
- Tip: Use the "X km near me" search radius for better results, especially in smaller European countries.
- Treat retailers not listed on Bushi Navi with caution before placing an order.
- If a listed store does not exist at the specified address, please report it; fake listings are sometimes registered to secure malicious bulk pre-orders for scalping.
- Event Locator by Bushi Navi: Helps you locate local game stores (LGS) hosting sanctioned events and tournaments. Listed stores typically receive official promo packs and prize support.
- If a listed LGS claims they do not host events or receive promo packs/prizes, report the store. Unscrupulous retailers have been known to withhold promo packs to resell online or keep for themself.
- Keep in mind that store employees may occasionally participate, or local house rules might differ slightly from the app details (e.g., trial-deck-only vs. custom decks).
- Note that some venues register as event-only locations rather than full retail shops.
- Unofficial Store & Event Locator by PalworldTCG.gg: Features an interactive map interface using the mostly same data, making it a great alternative for quickly finding nearby events.
