A foil Promo has some different expansion symbol, or some fruity foil process wherein different bits are foily, or sometimes different art.

All that makes a card tourny legal is two simple criteria:
1. It has a regular "Magic: The Gathering" card back.
2. It doesn't have silver borders on the front.

Please ask your question in the post, not in the title.

Yes - as long as the card has black or white borders and a normal Magic back, its legal.

I don't know of any gold-bordered cards that don't have a variant card-back.

There's a big old can of worms.


I can't find the exact ruling, but I recall that the original card has to be recognizable somehow.

It's up to your Head Judge to decide whether or not the card is allowed in their Tournament.
[indent]28. Taking Notes
Not Relevant Show

Players are allowed to take brief written notes regarding the current match and may refer to those notes while this match is in progress. Players are expected to take their notes in a timely fashion. Players who take too much time will be subject to the appropriate provisions of the DCI Penalty Guidelines.

During the draft portion of a tournament, players and spectators may not take any notes. Players may not refer to outside notes during the match. This includes notes from previous matches of that day.

Cards used in a tournament may not have writing on their faces other than signatures or artistic modifications. Modifications may not obscure the artwork so as to make the card unrecognizable. [color=black]If modifications to a card are deemed by the Head Judge to constitute outside notes or unsporting conduct,[/color] the player using such cards will be subject to the appropriate provisions of the DCI Penalty Guidelines.[/indent]
So, if you have Altered Art cards, it'd be wise to keep a few nonAltered Copies on hand, just in case the Head Judge says no.

By altered art, do you mean like hydrogeddon.

People like to color/ ink in the brown part black, then make the white part vivid colors (Red, Yellow, Green, orange,etc) to differentiate the different copies in their deck.
