MTG Salvation

2.1a. The moderator acknowledges submissions and informs players of mistakes in a timely manner.

2.1b. A player may submit multiple decks, but only the most recent is counted.

2.1c. If a player's final deck is illegal, the moderator replaces cards in the deck with Library of Alexandria until the deck is made legal. Replacements are made such that the revised deck functions as closely as possible to the original.

For example, Cabal Therapy + Swamp x4 is illegal because an opponent's deck may have duplicates of a card, but Cabal Therapy + Subterranean Hangar x4 is legal because Cabal Therapy can't be played until the third turn.
