Q&A:

Q: How do I declare an element?
A: Add it to your chat nickname prior to the tournament using the command /nick. For example, a player named Bobby might type /nick Bobby-water.

Q: Could you be more specific about what is meant by 'at least 6 copies'?
A: This means you have to use 6 or more copies, total, of the 2 cards given for your declared element in each deck. You don't have to use 6 of both. You may use 6 copies of one card given for your element, 6 copies of the other, 3+ copies of both, or any other combination totaling 6 copies or higher.

Isn't Jade Shield more least used than Jade Dragon?

[dawn to dusk]

i wouldve thought spine carapace wouldve been less used.
i also use luciferase a ton but rarely use peggy

[treebeard xiii]

this may have a dead obvious answer but the do the 6 'underused' cards have to be upgraded?

These cards can be used in their unupgraded version as well.

Sounds interesting, looking forward to it. The rules also leave no need for any clarification if I haven't overlooked something... goob job.

To make my question clear, is this a valid deck?

Focus is on the gravity mark, the amount of upgraded cards and the amount of least used creatures.

Yes, it's legal, 6 unupped cards because of the Gravity Towers and 10 cards that are needed.

Note: All the statistics used to choose the cards are from http://www.elementsthegame.com/liststats.php, if you see any mistake please announce me.

@The above, 6 copies of the two least used cards. For death, these are deathstalker and skeleton. If I used 6 deathstalkers and 0 skeletons, is this legal?

Yes, please read Q&A's too, it often answers most questions.

I'm a little surprised by some of the cards that do (and don't) appear in the most unused.

Looks fun, but sadly I don't have the time (or upgrades) to invest this week. I'm just commenting because I like tourneys and feel left out =)
