TappedOut forum

Just an FYI yeaGO: Oath of the Gatewatch cards are still listed as Illegal in Standard (and EDH).
JWiley129 I don't use tappedout as my legality checker, I am just pointing it out with regards to the deck search function. You can't find Standard legal decks if they have OGW cards as they are listed as illegal and wont populate the search results.

Not going to pretend I could do better, but what is the reason for this being the case basically 100% of the time? Is it not something that could be fixed fairly easily? Or if it is NOT an easy fix, maybe the function could be removed (at least momentarily) so that we don't get things kinds of posts every week?
Again, just curious -- Not accusing anyone.

System is user-run for the most part. I think there was word that one day it'll be automatic but I'm unsure.

Just wanna add to this that Prophet of Kruphix Needs to be marked as Illegal in EDH when you guys get the chance.

Yeago is working on a method to automate the entire legality system for submitting cards, under my recommendation. I didn't want to spend an extra 18 hours fixing the legality of these cards, and nor do I want to spend some 40 hours doing this for SOI when it comes out. So just be patient and use gatherer in the mean time.

This happens every time a new set comes out, it takes a while for the site to get all its legalities in order.
Also, you should never use T/O as a legality checker, you should always use Wizards' website and Gatherer.
