I don't suppose many largely unupped players win the upped tourney, eh?

Also, for the 6s in column B, can't you more concisely state it as "No less than 6 of each card?" (No need for the exception for pillars/pendulums.)

No need to be concise, IMO. It's just a few extra words, and less prone to be misinterpreted.

As for the largely unupped part, it is possible ;)

A potential player in chat plans to miss out the tournament, because it's not written in the rules that using upgraded cards is allowed, but not necessary. Fix it please. ;)

This is similar to regular potluck rules with the added affect of a choice of factions.

You choose which Faction you want to use; Ruleset 'A' or Ruleset 'B' by chat PMing the TO. You will not be able to switch factions throughout the duration of the tournament

The TO will randomize 2 lists to be used before the start of the tourney.

Ex.
A = 1(the thin), 3(the trio), 5(the grounded)
B = 7(the pendulemless), 11(the off mark), 2(the knight)

something....something....something.....
