  • Hope your not claustrophobic! April 6th's upgraded tournament Narrow Corridor (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-april-6th-narrow-corridor-upgraded/) made players play with limited damage output by only allowing 1 creature on the field. Congratulations to moehrpi on the win!

(http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-april-21st-it-was-super-effective!-semi-upgraded/) This semi-upgraded tournament had players building decks inspired by Pokemon and earning upgrades depending on if your Pokemon's type is effective against your opponent's. Congratulations to InsignificantWeeaboo on his first tournament win!

  • The dead are beginning to get a little hefty with all this feasting. The Decaying Potluck 4 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-april-27th-decaying-potluck-4-unupgraded/) unupgraded tournament had players speedbuliding 60 card element and denial restricted decks to defeat their opponent.
