Belkar's Alignment

[Fyraltari]

And it rejects. Only accepts if the card manufacturer matches perfectly. So an AmEx charge will never get in. It'd be like a petitioner going to Celestia and getting booted to Arborea. If they only ever match perfectly, an Arborea guy would never get into Celestia. Not have the rare one slip in, not be there and not get absorbed into the plane, never get in to begin with. See the disconnect?

Not really? The machine sees that it's the wrong card (this is equivalent to the Deva review) and rejects it (sends the soul elsewhere), so yes a test is needed beyond "does the card physically fit into the machine".
