I have 4 duress that I am not sure if they are tournament legal due to some coloring/ drawing on them.

The first one has some writing, but nothing of importance is getting blocked by the writing and the edges are colored over in black ( not really noticeable unless you look at it closely)

The second one has the same problem, but it's name is colored over

The third one just has it's edges colored in black over and again not really noticeable, but always better to check first.

The fourth one just has it's edges colored over in silver.


Thanks for the help

I'm pretty sure the standard is: as long as the art is recognizable, a judge can verify to your opponent what the card is. I'm guessing this based on the fact that art is the same across the board(with the exception of chinese variants) and foreign language cards are so common place.

Oops forgot to clarify what language they were. They are English and thanks for your help.

The standard rule of thumb with all altered cards is to ask the head judge of any given tournament before it commences. Anyway, Duress is a cheap enough card you can always keep a backup playset if need be.

But they all seem pretty harmless enough. The only potential problem seems to be the one with the obscured name.
