Enforce September bans for Ekko Recurrent and Stacked Deck - #5
Conversation
Reject Ekko, Recurrent and Stacked Deck across registered deck zones and printings under Standard and Constructed 2v2. Preserve historical import/storage and card behavior while exposing dated, sourced legality failures for enforced clients.

Mirrored rules PR: abysl/agni-rfb#4 . Kai integration will pin the combined audit fixes; no main branch has been merged by this task. |
|
Final validation: both rules repositories passed |
|
Kai companion is now open as draft: abysl/kai#2 . It pins the combined rules changes and adds fresh validation at normal selection/deal/reload/AI-CLI boundaries. Keep it draft until the four Agni dependencies are merged and refresh its pin for release. |
Official update
Riot announced on September 15, 2026 that Ekko, Recurrent and Stacked Deck are banned in Standard and Constructed 2v2, effective September 18, 2026. No effective time of day/timezone or simultaneous unbans are specified.

This PR is paired with the same policy update in the other Riftbound rules repository because Kai still consumes Agni. A companion Kai PR will pin the combined audited changes and enforce the policy at application deal boundaries. Updating this crate alone does not retroactively update installed Kai builds.
The new public enum variants may require downstream exhaustive matches to be extended, although no wire/blob/snapshot schema changes occur. This is a current-policy snapshot, not an as-of-date scheduler or a complete validator for unrelated formats such as Limited.
