  These cards do not count against your allowed upgrades total.
  Running these cards unupgraded won't give you an additional upgrade and won't allow you to run a deck with otherwise negative upgrades

Tournament Organizers Note

If you think there is an overpowered card that ought to be banned, or you have some concerns about the tournament metagame, mechanics or other stuff, do NOT post it publicly in the comments or anywhere else on the Forums. Instead, send a private message to Tournament Organizers, who will privately discuss about it. Thanks for your cooperation.



TOURNAMENTS Q&A

Q: What inspired this tournament?
A: A combination of the free upgrades from "There can be only one" and ian's idea to penalize op cards by allowing less upgrades with them in war.

Q: Why is shard of freedom not penalized as much as some other cards?
A: For Sofree you normally have little reason to run less than 6, while for those cards you just need a single copy of to get the full effect

Q: What about cards not listed in any table?
A: They are of course allowed, there are no bans. They dont affect your max allowed upgrades either way.

Q: Is there a tool to check whether our deck is legal?
A: I made a googlesheet with which you can check whether your deck is legal or not. I entered values for each card manually, so pay attention whether I made a mistake somewhere.
Remember that you cant edit the original (otherwise your deck codes could leak), in order to use you have to login to a gmailaccount, click file-> make a copy to open a copy in a new tab that you can edit. In this copy simply put your full deck code in A1 and let it do the calculations.

[kaempfer13]

Sorry, I forgot to add SoW to the -1 table. Fixed now.

[InsignificantWeeaboo]

How do the +2/+1 cards work? Do they increase the amount of upgraded cards you can have whether or not they're upgraded?

[kaempfer13]

Yes they affect the total amount of (nonfree) upgrades you are allowed to put in a deck.
You can of course upgrade them themselves too.

[kaempfer13]

I made a googlesheet with which you can check whether your deck is legal or not.
I did not allow you to edit the sheet so no deck codes are being posted in there for everyone to see, to use it simply make a copy and paste your deckcode in "Upgrades Calculator" cell A1.
It only accounts for free upgrades if you actually use them, so if you are at max upgrades but have unupgraded free  upgrades you can do so and it should show that the deck is still legal.
I entered values manually, if a number of upgrades seems inaccurate pls report it to me.

It omits the last card code in the deck (which would normally be the code of your deck mark), so be sure to include the full deck code.

[kaempfer13]

If you downloaded the googlesheet before this message your version does not account for upgrades past the first 30 cards. The current version is fixed.
