1. While it's true some cards are broken/overpowered no matter what you do with them, most of them are only a problem with other cards. Thus, banning the combo is a more sensible fix rather than updating the card's text or banning the card completely.
2. The status of each card below is based on how they were written prior to any erratums that made them tournament legal again.
3. Cards not listed below are either deemed safe for tournaments, are awaiting their spot on the list or are at 3 per Deck (aka Unlimited).
