Current Challenges:

POTLUCK

Spoiler for Hidden:

By default, games are unupgraded and without shards. We play with either 2 or 4 deck-building rules. If we play with 2, then you pick 1 rule when you challenge me, then I'll pick one. If we play with 4 rules, then you pick 1 rule when you challenge me, then I'll pick two, and then you pick the last one. We both must abide by all the rules.

These are the rules you can pick from:

• Duos only.
• Trios only.
• Quartets only.
• No rares.
• 6 upgrades allowed.
• 12 upgrades allowed.
• All upgrades allowed.
• Ban 3 cards from each other.
• Ban 5 cards from each other.
• Ban 7 cards from each other.
• No rainbows: no quantum Pillars, novas, immolations and no more than 4 elements used
• Pendulums only: no pillars, marks, novas, immolations. Cards like rustler, solar shield, dragonfly, soul catcher, etc. are okay.
• Slow and steady: no immolations or novas.
• Downsizing: Only 1 copy of a card per 10 cards used except Pillars & Pends (i.e. 3 copies max in a 30 card deck, 4 copies max in a 40 card deck, etc.)
• Downsizing+: Only 1 copy of a card per 15 cards used except Pillars & Pends (i.e. 2 copies max in a 30 card deck, 3 copies max in a 45 card deck, etc.)
• Upsizing: 40 card minimum deck size.
• Upsizing+: 50 card minimum deck size.
• Upsizing++: 60 card minimum deck size.
• Sideboard: Only 1 deck with 12 cards in a sideboard.
• Half & Half: Divide the elements by randomization or choice. You can only use cards from those elements.
• Berserker duel: No spells.
• Wizard duel: No creatures.
• Fist fight: No permanents.
• Escalation: first game mono; second game duo; third game trio; fourth game quartet; fifth game quintet, sixth game sextet, seventh game septet, etc.
• Divide & Conquer: Divide up the elements by randomization or choice. For each match you choose 1 element and make a deck with at least 2/3 of the cards being from that element. If you lose, you lose that element (you can still use cards from that element in your other decks, but you can't use it as your main element in a deck anymore).

If you don't have upgrades or would prefer not playing with any upgrades, that's fine. Just let me know when you challenge me and we'll not play with any of the upgrade rules. If you have your own rule you'd like to use, I'm open to adding new rules. I prefer they not make the game more random though, i.e. "close your eyes and randomly click in your deck library, that is now your deck". After we choose the rules we'll play by, we can decide a time and whether to play best of 3, 5 or 7.

TOURNEY

Spoiler for Hidden:

Use the most recently finished or upcoming tournament rules. Best of 3, 5, or 7. I'll only play with the rules for the upcoming tournament if one of us is not planning on being in the tournament.

ALL CARDS

Spoiler for Hidden:

No card restrictions in this challenge. You can use your shards, your nymphs, your marks, even your relics if you want! However, there are combo restrictions and number-of-copy restrictions.

• No more than 2 copies of any Shard type in a 30-card deck, 3 copies in a 60-card deck (i.e., in a 30-card deck, you can have 2 SoG, 2 SoD, and 2 SoFo, but not 3 SoFo)
• No Discord and Black Hole together (No DBH)
• No Ghost of the Past and Nightmare together (No Ghostmare)
• No Fire Bolt and Stone Skin/Sanctuary/Miracle together (No healing Firestall)
• No Quantum Pillar and Nova together (No Speedbow)
• No Immolation and Phoenix/Golem together (No Immo rush)
• No Devourer and Fractal together (No Devtal)
• No Dimensional Shield and Protect Artifact together (No protected Dim Shield stall)

You can use any of the cards listed above. You just can’t use any of the above combination of cards. So for example, you can use Discord in your deck. But if you use it, you can’t also use Black Holes in your deck.

We can play this unupped, partially upped (6, 12), or fully upped.

GGs cheesy111. We'll have to play again sometime. If I'm not going to be in a tourney, maybe we can do a duel again as a kind of practice run leading up to the tourney.

Okay, in that case let's go Wizards Duel as well.

Any other suggestions of over-powered decks that should be banned? I also thought about Catatitans, Poison Dials, and those Upped Entropy Pendulum+Supernova rushes,  but I'm not sure if they're considered too powerful or not.

[Dragoon]

GGs blueberrymania. You need to post that Diss Shield Stall deck. I want to see it. It totally killed my 2 decks.

[blueberrymania]

Fine. I'll post it.
