So running a standard legal draft, I got a presumably BRO pack, that had a BRR artifact in it.
Would this be a legal pick?
Since BRR is not of the Standard legal sets?
I guess I could pick it but not able to put it in the main deck? I haven’t picked it, but it was just a thought.
If I can pick it and its not legal to put in the draft deck, is there a check to make sure it’s not added to the deck illegally, by bot or human?

Not sure what you mean by "Standard legal draft'
hardy stratus
I mean, if it just means the packs come from Standard sets?
gentle blaze
If it was a tournament would it be a legal pick?
hardy stratus
When you draft you can play any card that appears in your pack IRL
I don't see why that would be any different here
Just because it came from a "Standard legal set" doesn't mean every card in it it is
gentle blaze
Hmm.. so draft and tournament are different? (Never played so just asking) if a tournament was “standard” sets, would a BRR card be allowed since it came from a BRO pack, or no because it’s not BRO itself?
hardy stratus
I'm not sure i underestand the difference you are saying here
gentle blaze
Assuming a preconstructed tournament
hardy stratus
Is this a limited tournament or a constructed tournament?
gentle blaze
Constructed
I guess
I’m trying to draw the line in my mind if it’s ok to have that card picked by the computer…

IRL if you're opening a draft booster, whatever the kind of tournament, if it's in the pack you can use it, right?
The pack had retro artifacts from BRR so they can be used
But also I don't think there's such a thing as "standard" draft?
Draft IRL is just draft packs from the sets they are running
Do we have Standard draft in Forge?

I can limit the packs to from the standard sets.
Being a standard draft, would be a misnomer
ember shell
Ah well in that case it will just use whatever the draft packs you pick, in this case BRO draft did include BRR cards
So when BRO is legal in Standard, you'd get this

I wanted some breadth of packs, but then went down a rabbit hole of “ok well what is standard”
ember shell
Yeah Standard and Draft don't really have the same legality
I guess it's more draft packs from Standard legal sets (which sometimes include other cards)
Idk maybe I'm not understanding the question properly though

Yeah so trying to reconcile what is standard in my head, while trying to figure out “well is that what I was expecting from this draft” is where I’m finding it hard to accept. But what youre saying makes sense, drafting and set legality are separate things…
Set legality of “standard” would apply to constructed tournaments
Where brr would not be allowed
A draft, would accept the brr, unless the specific card was banned
Thank you both.

Honestly, I don't recall very many instance where a limited pool has banned cards. I'm not sure how you would monitor that, and I'm not sure how broken a typically banned card would be in that environment
ember shell
Yeah I mean draft boosters are designed for that specific draft, I don't know of any reason anything would be banned there
According to the wiki it's never happened
gentle blaze
Honestly, I don't recall very many instance where a limited pool has banned card...
Well the brr artifacts have like the moxes, weren’t they banned historically?
Oh it just has the one mox
Oh they were restricted… not banned.
ember shell
That's a lightweight mox
But either way, even if anything was banned or restricted it's always in that format, not everywhere
If something is banned in Standard it doesn't carry over to limited
hardy stratus
Even still the answer is not really.. They put a lot of expensive things in Zendikar - https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Zendikar/Priceless_Treasures
There's just not really a thing such as "Banned in Limited"
I think this is the only example where i can remember things not being allowed
-Tourney rules have been updated to clarify that cards opened in packs not belonging to that set aren't limited legal, and if deck swaps are done, you keep the cards not belonging to the set.
But all of these other promo editions are fine

So wait, in a limited draft tournament of “standard” sets, the BRR wouldn’t be legal? Or lets say it was a limited draft tournament of BRO.
But you get to keep the card?
hardy stratus
No
That was only a special circumstances
Typically, if you open it you can play it
If you are drafting with BRO, anything in that pack is available to be drafted and played
