Suspended Cards Update

Like we promised in our original post announcing the suspended cards list in Highlander the Card Game, we've unsuspended 3 cards, all of which are legal for play now in all formats those cards are legal in. These have been added to the Card Database and they will be included in both the May Errata Zip download as well as the individual Errata Packs that cards are a part of.

Current Suspended Cards (Also in the Rule Book)

Suspended Card	Reason for Suspension
Championship Hilt (Antarctic)	This was a joke card that somehow was released into the pool of cards. It never had a Card ID.
Dark Quickening (Q2018-999)	As of the previous ruleset, it was officially prohibited from being used with 17 specific Personas — plus two more listed directly on the card itself. That level of restriction isn’t healthy for the game. When a single card creates that many edge cases and opportunities for players to accidentally build illegal decks, it’s a sign that the design isn’t working within the broader ecosystem. Rather than continue stacking errata or exceptions, we’ve chosen to remove it from play for now.
Master’s Intuition (Situation) PP2024-007)	The idea behind this card was solid, but its implementation was rushed. While Master’s Intuition remains suspended, its replacement — Insightful Planning (Protect) — will be released soon in an upcoming Prize Pack.
Master’s Intuition (Event) PP2024-008)	The idea behind this card was solid, but its implementation was rushed. While Master’s Intuition remains suspended, its replacement — Insightful Planning (Protect) — will be released soon in an upcoming Prize Pack.
Quickening (HTGQ-036)	Broken interaction.
Quickening - Amanda (Q2018-007)	Alternate Personas were never intended to have their own dedicated Quickenings. Why? Because while you can't use the Quickening of the Persona you're currently playing, you can use both Quickenings from another Immortal — even if that Immortal is an Alternate Persona. That loophole leads to serious balance issues.
Quickening - Carl Robinson (Q-004)	Suspended due to redundancy and potential abuse. This card was originally designed for a version of Carl Robinson that was never released. However, the exact same Quickening — in both effect and function — was later printed in 2nd Edition for James Coltec. To prevent players from including both versions in the same Pregame and effectively doubling up on the same ability, we’ve chosen to suspend the 3E version. *Note if you have a copy of the Carl Robinson Q, you can use it as the James Coltec Q, but check with your Tournament Director before hand to make sure that's OK.
Swordmaster Rip Card (PP2022-011)	Broken interaction.
The Curse (HSFV-13P)	Broken interaction. Playtesting a fix.
The Doors of Time (GS041)	Broken interaction. Playtesting a fix.
The Raven (Dead on Arrival) RAVEN017	Broken interaction. Playtesting a fix.
The Raven (Reborn) RAVEN015	Broken interaction. Playtesting a fix.
The Raven (The Rogue) RAVEN016	Broken interaction. Playtesting a fix.
