What is a Clan affiliation (favorite Clan) for?
Your Clan affiliation determines which Clan letter is sent with your Herald. It’s also printed on your membership card and affects the storyline based on how well you did in tournaments (storyline only). Special note – you CANNOT sign up as a Ninja – it has to be earned in tournament play. • What’s a DCI number? • It stands for Duelists Convocation International and it’s a unique identification number used in tournaments and for members only merchandise benefits. It was originally the suscription number from The Duelist magazine, an early Magic: the Gathering publication. • When organized tournament competition was started (i.e. the “Black Lotus” Professional Tour), it became an identification number for competitors. • After the Legends of the Five Rings card game was bought by Wizards of the Coast, it was natural to use the pre-existing tournament structure bureaucracy . The Dualist eventually morphed into TopDeck magazine. The name change probably had to do with Pokemon’s surging pop
