Edit 1 (2019.06.08): Added Virus to the allowed cards, then drastically changed the list of allowed cards. Also changed the upgrade list.

Retrovirus is allowed but Virus isn't?

Also, these rules don't look too appealing. :|

[Submachine]

Virus is now added to the list of allowed cards.

Also, these rules don't look too appealing. :|

That was not intentional. We are open to hear ideas on how to improve them.

[Calindu]

That was not intentional. We are open to hear ideas on how to improve them.

I'm not sure exactly how you can improve the rules, as the idea of using SoI as the main card of the tournament is flawed. You have very few ways in which you can build a good SoI deck, as these don't usually work well with other cards. This will lead to a low-skill tournament which is decided mostly by coin flips. I am confident that with these rules, you will have everyone use almost the same deck, the only questions being which shards to run 6 of, which shards to upgrade, which mark to use and if you use long swords/gavels, the main idea of the deck still being the same.

Moreover, SoI decks are not interactive, as they have high hp and usually immortal, so there's little counterplay and usually just a race.

[Wyand]

What do you think, banning SoW would help?

Also, pls allow upped SoSe.

ps: maybe allowing Afla, too?

[Submachine]

Feedback was considered. Around 20 more cards are allowed now. Two of the shards are no longer allowed.

[Odii Odsen]

Maybe I will join this one.

[moehrpi]

This just started to look a lot more appealing.

I just love when stuffs fit into one screen.

EDIT: oops, first added the old ruleset's cards.

Tournament starts in less than 10 hours. (I know this is early, but I won't be awake until the tournament starts.)

When? To find out your local time, check this link: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20190616T07 Tournament has started.

No PPMs allowed? If no PPMs allowed then this tourney really will be an RNG fest.

(This wording sounded ambiguous to me: "Only the following cards and PPMs can be used:")

[Zso_Zso]

PPMs are allowed, and I believe the wording was correct for that.

"Only the following cards and PPMs can be used:"

The  and in the sentence means that both the listed cars and PPMs are allowed.
Its not a ban-list, it is an allowed list.
