Also the "show what you can summon" portion of Undead should be removed IMO, or added to VC rules as well for summoning units. It has already been mentioned I think in the ETC 2.5 thread. If you wanted to make sure they have the required models, why not just have them submit a second list to the TO indicating what they brought for summoning, and then provide that list AFTER the game to the opponent if they want to verify that you didn't cheat (and if you did, DQ FOR YOU). Unless whole tournament is Open lists (in which case all this is moot anyways).
The elf characters and nagash etc are banned because they are overpowering and bent.
My Main Issue is that teclis kairos epidemus and a few others are still allowed these are on th way to being as bad, however I guess the comp sort of has this covered.
The reason VC don't need to show you what they are raising is raise dead spell is either zombies or skeletons, lore of undeath could be virtually any bloody thing and in order to speed the game up it is only polite to show your opponent the possible options especially in a time limited tournament scenario.
Of course I ain't saying your wrong but please feel free to look at Sheffield slaughter results if you need evidence of the dominance of the super character
