  • Best artist of EtG forums had been challenged with redecorating (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/competitions/art-competition-redecorating-(voting)/) the background of our beloved website! Andretimpa came up with magnificent background involving Elements' symbols!

  • Simulated Violence (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/competitions/deckbuilding-competition-simulated-violence/) happened... This modern technology is really a trainwreck, really wish we could just go back to using spears and clubs to get a point across. Regardless, Vineroz found a way to tame the wild beast that is modern technology and defeat everyone else using it, so congrats to him!

  • Playing god gains a whole new meaning in the new card design competition,Divine Artifice! (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/competitions/card-design-competition-divine-artifice/) Be sure to get in on the fun, after all, when else do you get to create gods?


  • Stay in touch with the competition section by signing up for the Competition Mailing List (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/competitions/competitions-mailing-lists/)! It will guarantee you getting notified whenever there's a new competition going, so you can begin right away!

  • Ever wanted to relive that wonderful War 11? Well, the Winning War Like a Champ Tournament (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/tournament-archive/weekly-tournament-october-6th-winning-war-like-a-champ-upgraded/) had given that opportunity for those dire fans of War 11 among us! worldwideweb3 had won said tournament, and now is aiming to win War 12. Let's wish him good luck!

  • In Pyramid Power (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-october-14th-pyramid-power-unupgraded/), the participants were presented with trying out being in shoes of an ancient Egyptian and build a pyramid-like deck. immortal feud proved to be a bit more resourceful in building his pyramid, and ends up taking the victory!

  • Do you know how hard it is to get a creature to have exactly 16 hp? People that took part in Decahexatris (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-october-20th-decahexatris-semi-upgraded/) do. Fortunately, shockcannon managed to use that rule to his advantage, congratulations to him!

  • Our community can be really picky sometimes, which is obvious when you give it the choice to ban cards (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-october-27th-community-choice-ii-unupgraded/) at their own accord. Nearly half of the game's card had been banned, and the ones that weren't were really tricky to work with. Winner's yet to be determined, so stay tuned to the tournament

  • There are many ways to divide elements in EtG, Get Off My Property! (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-november-4th-get-off-my-property!-upgraded/) explores only one such possibility. There is still time to submit decks, so hurry up!

  • Leagues 2/2018 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-league/elements-pvp-league-22018/) has officially ended! With approximately three months worth of fights, the winners have finally been determined - phoenix1211, Jen-i and Vindilos took the first, second and third places respectively! Congratulations!

  • Leagues may be over, and they will be for a while, but you always can suggest stuff in the designated topic (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-league/elements-pvp-league-suggestions-and-feedback/). There are surely plenty of ideas people can come up with, and any is welcomed for the upcoming leagues!

Tea Time with Deuce22


Below is a portion of the interview:

Some time has passed, how do you feel about the unexpected trials result? Will you be aiming to claim your title back next time?
Obviously bummed about the result, but it was a long time coming. I would guess I won nearly half my trial victories with amazing luck. I had some rather unfortunate RNG in some of the games with w3, but that's part of the game. I will be aiming to claim my title back next trials

You are one of the most experienced and strongest war players in the community. Will you be playing war as a soldier, and if so are you looking forward to the possibility of working on a non aether team?
Had the opportunity to general for fire or gravy (in fact, generaling gravy and leading it to a war win was a discussion hain and I had years ago), but it just wouldn't feel right not having been the master of the element, so I decided not to apply. I am looking forward to participating in war as a soldier, even if i'm not on aether. You gain a different perspective when playing for other elements, and that can help you when you return to your primary element.

Agent 47, Lex Luthor, or Professor X?
How the hell did you know I'm a bald white male??? I think the only photo of me on etg i'm wearing a wig (other than the one above). And i don't think i'm facebook friends with anyone other than UTAlan. Anyways, here's my choice...

Find this answer and many more in Deuce22's official interview! (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/elements-council/featured-community-member/msg1282433/#msg1282433)

Additionally, we have a Staff Meeting with the Trial Overseers!

Below is a portion of the interview:

How did [the last] Trials go?
Pretty good, tho there were some elements that were left masterless ): everyone take part in next trials!!!

What would you say is the most different part between trials when you first joined and now that you're reigning it?
The playerbase ):

Any advices to future TrOs or some that you wish you've been given when you started?
There will always be...

Art made by DoctorC.

Hi there! I'm Niels from DoctorC, and today (or a few days ago) was Halloween! My brothers and I aren't necessarily into Halloween, seeing how russia doesn't really celebrate it, but I thought it'd be a good idea for me and Hans to make something EtG-related after a huge period of mainly doing bionicle :D

So, here we've got what we thought might be a Halloween elemental, fully prepared for action with a fiery staff, four arms and a headful of horns. It was an amazing process designing this character and I'm really happy about how this turned out :D

I would like to apologize for numerous factual mistakes made throughout the November NL. Life has been a clustertruck of rubbish, as stated before, so massive apologies for that. Me and my brothers fixed all of the ones that were reported now, though.
