Rationale

Orcish Oriflamme was initially classified as a restricted card in early tournament play due to its potential to destabilize game balance. Its inclusion on the Limited List required specific rules for verifying the absence of duplicate copies at the conclusion of a duel, mandating that players check their opponent's hand, graveyard, and exiled cards to ensure no second copy of the card was present.
