Rules
Just in case you still haven't read them

[worldwideweb3]

Do we have 6 ups or 9?

[majofa]

Do we have 6 ups or 9?

Count our Aides..

Physsion is perma champ but you have given tier A darkness, implying he is aide. So I wanna confirm if jijo is aide or not.

[majofa]

It's in the rules.

Physsion is a perma-champ, so he counts as a Champion and an Aide.

[trashduke]

It's in the rules.

Physsion is a perma-champ, so he counts as a Champion and an Aide.

I'm still a bit confused b/c the rules also say:
"In addition, that Champion's team receives the Aides' upgraded card benefit for the rest of Stage 1, and the element cannot be used by anyone for the remainder of Phase 1."

That would seem to imply that Darkness "cannot be used by anyone for the remainder of the Phase 1," right? so if Darkness isn't available to anyone, it is a little confusing to have it listed as an available element for the A squad.  Do the square brackets mean "just kidding, you can't actually use this element"?

[Physsion]

My interpretation is that both the Tier A Champions and the Tier A Challengers will receive 3 upgrades from me. In terms of upgrades, I count as both a champion and an aide.

For elemental usage, I don't count as an aide, hence the square brackets - no players from any team can use Darkness cards for the remainder of Stage I.

If I'm reading it right:

• Tier A champions get 15 upgrades. (Zawadx, Afdarenty, myself, andretimpa, Solaris as champions on the team)
• Tier A challengers get 18 upgrades. (myself, rob77dp, theelkspeaks, iancudorinmarian, mrpaper, JonathanCrazyJ as aides on the team)
• Tier A champions AND challengers may use as their support elements. No players may use .

Is this correct, majofa?

[majofa]

Yes, all of those are correct.

Took me a while to get the quanta I needed, but once I got my nymph and a few sanctuaries down, I wasn't in much danger.

Finally had a decent quanta draw and managed to play my nymph, made a mistake by bolting the abom to not take 5 damage instead of AMing it next turn, but Discord made one too by playing her creatures instead of waiting.

Ggs Discord!

Unless someone wants to / is able to sub for me, I'm gonna have to forfeit to Zawa. He reached out to me multiple times and I've been too busy to play, and won't have time again before the deadline.
