Special Rules

• Upgraded cards are not allowed.
• At the start of the tournament, a TO randomly selects one rule from each column below.
• Players then have 15 minutes to build decks. All decks must follow the 3 rules.
• After the 15 minutes are over, players must stop everything else and start searching for their opponents in the game.
  If the tournament is double elimination, the 15 minutes will be taken very seriously, and people will be disqualified if their opponent reports that they are still not ready.
• There is a twist! With each Decaying Potluck tournament, previously randomized rules will be removed from the table. This way, all rules will be used eventually.

[Wyand]

Ah, Nymph Queens. Explains everything. 6 NT+ 6 NQ >>> 6 NT. Meanwhile I just cursed, cause a 60 card deck with such restrictive rules just cannot be reliable.

0-2 vs ARTH

0-1 Played sort of an accel/pulvy deck, got rushed by NT. 7 ttw...

1-1 Played an NT aether deck with Squids SoPa etc., worked fine against a life deck (mito dragons I guess).

1-2 Played a quite unbalanced Patient Wardens (too much earth quanta) with added Stone Skin, NT etc. Artha played a fire deck
with 3 Red Nymphs. He played 2 of them in quick succession around turn 6, I couldn't play enough counter CC.

2-0 vs moehrpi

1-0 NT Aether deck wins again. Moe played Auburns/SoF all of them got CC'd (had Ice Bolts, too).

2-0 Played a Mono Fire Sundial with 6 deck cards. Sundials were the last minute additions, and I forgot to change mark to time.
Moe played a lone Blue Nymph, which got killed quickly by RP, other stuff just got exploded. I felt he suffered from the same
60 card unreliability like myself in earlier games.

0-2 vs ARTH

0-1 Played a mono fire, while Arth gone life again. Things looked good for a while. Had 6 SoBrs, guess what, could play only 2 in the
entire game. And my 2nd Fire Bolt came as card#39. You cannot win with draw like this against someone who has 3 SoGs. My Fahrenheit
damaged max (19), he healed back 15.  He had infinite access to Dru Staffs, I deflagged like 4. In then end he was able to play
a mitodragon, that decided everything (I misplayed raging my own red nymph, thorn killed it quickly, but I guess it didn't really matter,
since you cannot kill an Emerald Dragon with one RP...)

0-2 Back to nymphs, time version with hourglasses. Start decided everything. You know the ruleset is bad, when you almost play mirror
and the start decides everything. Both of us had 6 squids/6NTs. I started with 6 pillars, 1 Ice bolt. Next turn I had an NT, but it didn't
matter because he played 2 squids in turn 2, and an NT in turn 3...

ps: anyone played Wings...?

ps2: Thanks TorB for hosting!

[moehrpi]

ps: anyone played Wings...?

I tried to.

[ARTHANASIOS]

ps: anyone played Wings...?

I tried to.

If was allowed, a Dimensional Shield & Wings & Phase Spider deck could be interesting...

[Wyand]

I wonder why no one has tried this deck against TorB.
