B = Banned. You can not play this card.
U = Unrestricted. This card no longer has any restrictions.
L = Limited. You can only play a certain number of this card in a deck. For example, L1 means that you can only play 1 copy of that card.
C = Choice restricted. The cards that are on the choice list can not be played together in the same deck. For example, C3 means that there are 3 cards you can choose from: you can play any number of the card you choose, but you can’t play any copies of the other two cards in the same deck.
