Ghost of the Past was specially banned.

In case the ruleset turns out to be extremely limiting, all the rules will be re-shuffled.
Pillars, pendulums and other cards does not count into a duo or a higher deck.

This looks really interesting, but I really can't make it. It's at 6 AM and I might leave town that weekend

What is going to happen if the rules contradict to each other (e.g. The colourful, The quad, The holiday)?

They shouldn't happen, so if you spot contradicting rulesets, please notify us and we will fix them.

I changed The nude and replaced The holiday to The planetary.

Special Rules

• 3 rules from each table will be chosen randomly 15 minutes before tournament starts.
• Your decks must follow all 3 rules.

Rule Column A The even: No cards that cost 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 quantum

Rule Column C The odd: No cards that cost 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 quantum

The special rules are written wrongly. As it stands now, it means that from each of the tables, you pick 3 rules for a total of 9 rules.
Correctly would be something like: 3 rules will be picked, 1 from each table [...]

When The even and The odd are picked, can we only play with 0 cost cards and Miracle? LAME xD
But what if we combine it with something random from table B, like The true Rainbow? Most elements don't have a 0 cost card (or higher than 10 unupped)

[theelkspeaks]

I'd suggest leaving those rules in there and just rerolling if they both come up.  It's pretty unlikely to get both the even and the odd.

[Submachine]

Changed The even to The semi-even: No cards that cost 3, 5 or 7 quantum.

[Kakerlake]

Changed The even to The semi-even: No cards that cost 3, 5 or 7 quantum.

I just realized that Golden- and Phase Dragon would also be allowed with even and odd.
Allowing 9 quanta only gives access to Pharaoh, Seraph and a couple Nymphs. Not much of an improvement (it's kind'a unfair towards those with few or no Nymphs)

I'd suggest moving The odd to table A and keep The even in its original form.
edit: and The Prime as well.

edit2:
Ying-Yang and Planetary won't work together.
The nude and The Mono/Duo are biting each other pretty hard.

[DANIEELA]

Looks like a fun one, but I won't be there.

[Dm]

If rulesets are absurd we'll just re-randomize them. No need for panic.

Don't worry.

[andretimpa]

True rainbow (column A) is contradicted by almost half of the rules in column B

and depending on interpretation so is the colorful

PROTIP: Restrictions about the same thing should be in the same column

+ the precise <-> the 6
