Because they’re not in the spirit of the game. The object is not, "How can I bend the rules by mixing two very different cards in a freak combo?", but "How can I use these tools effectively?"

Open-Undeniably broken. Infinite Gandalf and Fruit Loops.
Expanded-Still somewhat broken in places. Demoralized + Rapid Reload is still legal. And Ithilien Blade gets even more broken with What Are...

I disagree. Decipher said on the card, "place two cards on top". This was intended by Decipher. Therefore, it’s appropriate. They know balance. And Narya’s not going to be coming around very often...

No, that’s called classic Elven telepath. Perfectly legal, and what the cards were designed to do. If you can’t take it...
