Bad pull. Should pull Pearl, not SoSM.

A player, 15 October 2026 15:53

@Brook Cunningham was SOSM released before or after Pearl?

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 15 October 2026 15:59 · in reply

After (or simultaneously?), but nothing in it technically counted as a superceding MRP. A number of cards in it were simplified/outright missing text.

A player, 15 October 2026 16:00

oh right.. i forgot about that.

A player, 15 October 2026 16:01

searching shows that it was techincally after... I might list it as before though to avoid the simplified texts being MRPs

Won't work. It has HE-only cards in it too.

A player, 15 October 2026 16:02

poop

A player, 15 October 2026 16:04

how many of the L2P sets was this in, or was sosm special? i no longer recall

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 15 October 2026 16:07

SosM was the worst. Well, besides the Top Deck Magazine LtP booster. Then, Storms over Matsu Palace I think may have had some dumbed downed wordings/extra reminder, but nothing actually functionally changed. After that, all the LtPs were unaltered.

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 15 October 2026 16:09

except the LE or SE (I forget?) LtP set that MRP'd the Imperial Crab and Lion Strongholds with modern stats, but those were considered Legacy Format MRPs.

A player, 15 October 2026 16:10

crab vs lion

A player, 15 October 2026 16:11

if it was considered real mrp, then not a problem... just need the sets that weren't considered mrp in their own arc really

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 15 October 2026 16:12 · in reply

Right. Just SosM then.

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 15 October 2026 16:13

Oh!!!

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 15 October 2026 16:13

And the CE15 reprint Promos were not MRPs.

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 15 October 2026 16:15

Bryan delighted in putting "O:" on the Evil Portents in that set and putting Egg in an Item frame, like they appeared in IE, and he refused to let me use Oracle wording on any of them. 🙁

saaam (not official), 15 October 2026 16:21

And for two key ones used the new artwork. 😭

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 15 October 2026 16:23 · in reply

Some of the older artwork files were no longer available in print-quality, unfortunately, as I understand.

A player, 15 October 2026 16:26

yeah, they had all of it on one computer, the hard drive died, and they couldn't figure out how to restore the backups from tape

saaam (not official), 15 October 2026 16:27

Sigh.

A player, 15 October 2026 16:27

(and refused offers of help getting it off of tape)

saaam (not official), 15 October 2026 16:27

Amusingly enough, the artist who did the OG Shinsei's Shrine art had the assets available - I bought a frameable print of it from her Etsy store a couple of years back.

saaam (not official), 15 October 2026 16:27

Yeah, it's that.

A player, 15 October 2026 16:30

kanji ring promos...

A player, 15 October 2026 16:30

textless full bleeds

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 15 October 2026 16:31

Oh yeah. 🙁 Your Stronghold does nothing because the MRP is blank! ;P

A player, 15 October 2026 16:32

Adding this now: Here's how I'll implement it, the same way on both sides:

- Which printing a legality search shows: among the printings that match, order them by set, using the same sortregex order (/attributes printing.set returns sets in that order), and pick the latest. Ties fall back to the stored order. This applies to stored legalities (Jade), derived ones (Legacy, Paper) and required ones. A derived entry's prefer (e.g. Ivory for Ivory Extended) still comes first; the set order replaces the old "later in the rule's list" ranking. That gives Twenty Festivals for Legacy and Siege of Sleeping Mountain for Jade, until Siege of Sleeping Mountain gets notmrp. - notmrp: true on a printing: that printing is skipped whenever a legality picks the printing. I'm limiting it to legality on purpose: an explicit set:Siege of Sleeping Mountain search should still show that printing.

A player, 15 October 2026 16:32

Unless there's a hole in that logic, we'll just tag all of our problem children

A player, 15 October 2026 16:47

in place, sosm and bleed rings done. ce15 isn't a problem - no legality ever set means no arc searches find them. gonna have to do some processing to figure out the full bleed personalities correctly after lunch

A player, 15 October 2026 17:31

all the ones we know about so far are done. If anything pops out, it's a simple "notmrp": true on the printing (for @Brook Cunningham )
