Banned List

As of April 17th, 2025, there is no banned list. This is due to there being only one card on the list, and the errata on it removing the reasoning for the banning.[1]

History

Previously, as an experiment to curb the pervasive success of some deck types, an official banned list was created for Ashes on July 24, 2024.[2] Cards on the banned list maycould not be included in decks used in official organized play events, which is different from the Chained list.

Banned cards

  • Molten Gold

The detailedonly reasoning can be found at Plaid Hat Games's Ashes Organized Play Update.

Tournament organizers should mention if thecard banned listwas isMolten NOT in effect; otherwise, players should assume that it is, as per the Organized Play document. Not using the banned list is potentially relevant for events where the card pool is intentionally limited, ie, "all decks must be built using the Red Rains campaign rules."

For casual games, it is recommended to ask the opponent if banned cards are allowed before playing a deck that uses them; for many games, the default assumption is that any existing banned list is in effect, and Ashes follows that trend. This is similiar to the aforementioned Chained List.Gold.

This list doesdid not forbid any player from using the banned cards in Red Rains (PvE). Some events would also allow the banned card, usually due to deck building restrictions (ie, building using Red Rains Campaign rules).
