Elements PvP Tournament - Your ideas!

Pooled Tournament

-At the beginning of the week, post X amount of cards (non-pillar/pendulum) to choose from in a pool.
-Players must only use cards from that pool in their deck.
-Players may use any amount of pillars and/or pendulums as they see fit to use.
-Players may make and use multiple decks based on the cards from the pool throughout the tournament. (It would be highly recommended to save the code for multiple decks so as to not mistakenly add a card which isn't allowed.)
-Players playing a card not listed in the pool in their deck forfeit the round.

There have been pretty cool ideas for tourneys so far, but I think I have one that everyone could enjoy. It's partially modeled after an M:tG tournament rules structure, but made more viable for elements.

Rule 1: No switching entire decks between games. Submit decklists to tournament organizers within a minumum of 30 minutes in advance, so organizers can verify no one is cheating. (Assuming they will be available at that time)
Rule 2: 40-Card decks. No exceptions. Optional 5-card sideboards to be submitted with deck. No pillars may be in any sideboard.
Rule 3: 4-copy limit. No decks can have more than 4 copies of any non-pillar.
Rule 4: Restricted list. Cards will be added/removed periodically. If I can suggest a few cards to restrict, they would be the following:

Only a single copy (1) of each of these cards are permitted:

Miracle
Amber Nymph
Fractal
Eternity


I looked through the entire card list, and nothing else seemed overly broken. I could even be mistaken about these 4. The point of the list is to make cards that are "very unfair" less apparent, so all players can enjoy the tourney.

Rule 5: No upgraded cards.
Rule 6: No other restrictions on deck construction. Best of 3 games. 45-minute rounds. Slow play will not be tolerated. Finals do best of 5.



The problem with this style tournament is that we would need more "staff" to oversee random matches (spectate), to keep order, and make sure everyone is playing by the rules; IN ADDITION to the staff that will be working on the tournament itself.

let me know what you guys think.

War Decks Only

You must use a deck that was used in a previous war. You may not use a deck twice.

Opposites attract: the decks



- Upped cards
- Only cards from two elements that are opposites  - ,  - ,  - ,  - , - ,  -

Oracle Tournament:
Post a screenshot of what your fortuneis on the tournament day. Make a mono deck of that element.

Pillarless- Fairly obvious, no pillars at all! You must use novas, and pendulums instead!

Rainbow-1 -this one's kinda complicated. Make a rainbow deck except you have to have at least 1 card in every element, except 1 element. This element would be your own mark! So, if you had a mark of fire, you wouldn't be able to use any fire element cards. You could however use mark of water and use forest spirit.

No special weapons- fairly obvious. No weapons like: Eternity, Titan, Owl's eye, etc.

Newbie Again: You must use a new account!

Participators must be in the chat 45 minutes before the actual brackets are created. Once all people who are participating come into the chat, the tourney organizer makes a random string, and puts it in the chat. All new accounts must have that string in their name or they are disqualified (this is to prevent cheating!) After the string is created and sent, the participants must create a new account (using that string somewhere in the name) and begins grinding their brains out for half an hour. After the grinding is done, the brackets are posted, and there are ten minutes to connect and deckbuild. After this, the tourney proceeds as normal.

I'm pretty sure PuppyChow posted this in the old thread...

Starter Deck: Everyone makes ONE new account. They may sell and buy cards only. Players battle with these "starter" decks. A player automatically loses if they have a win or loss on their record (meaning they played an AI/PvP).

This one is a great idea, but the new account can be done? Is not a multi-account something that is not allowed?

most of deck would be time but still i like it  : ) antimater your own vampires to heal your opponent ; d

Yeah, I guess decking out with a 30-card hourglass deck isn't too hard. And you even have the anti-deck out card to foil opponents decking out.

No, we had a starter deck competition just now, and most people used new accounts for that.

How about an Oty race? I really like that card!

Every player must have 6 otys in their deck, only 30 cards and no other creatures, weapons, artifacts, or shields. No upped cards. Only other thing they can have are spells so it would be a race to take out otys with removal/buff your own with cards like momentum so you could eat the other persons otys.

This would actually be pretty fun. I'd think we'd be seeing a lot of mono gravity with momentum in this kind of deck though.
