Cyber Jar, meanwhile, has been unbanned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of seven cards are now semi-restricted; players may only have two copies in registered tournament decks. These cards are Seventh Tachyon, Performapal Monkeyboard, Chronograph Sorcerer, Morphing Jar, Snatch Steal<\/a>, and Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King.
