Weekly Tournament - June 23rd - Good Things Come In Threes - Unupgraded

From fairytales to hollywood blockbusters, “the rule of three” (Latin-"omne trium perfectum") principle suggests things that come in threes are inherently more humorous, satisfying and effective than any other number of things.

Tournament Organizer 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: Does the mark of the deck count as using another element ?
A: No, the mark does not count, you need to have cards from 3 different elements, and you can use whatever mark you wish.

Q: Does rainbow count as an element?
A: If you use to refer to the "Other" cards (such as Quantum Pillars), they are technically not an element, so they do not count as one for the purpose of this tournament.

Q: What is the minimum number of cards needed to be considered using 3 elements? (3 of a single card from the element from the list)?
A: 3 copies of a single card type is sufficient to be considered using that element.

Q: Can I use PPMs as the 3rd element?
A: No. Using only PPMs of an element does not count as using that element.

Here is a legal example deck:

I agree, and if you saw the original Total Recall, you know what I mean.

[Dr.Pizzazz]

Alright... I can't figure out what PPM stands for. Can someone enlighten me?

Edit: Thanks Wyand!

[Wyand]

Pillars, pendulums and mark cards.

More questions for the returning noobie:

Does rainbow count as an element?

What is the minimum number of cards needed to be considered using 3 elements? (3 of a single card from the element from the list? Can I use ppms as the 3rd element?)

Yes, 3 copies of a single card type is sufficient to be considered using that element.

Yes, you can use PPMs as the 3rd element.

No. Using only PPMs of an element does not count as using that element in this tournament. Everything else that Zso_Zso said is correct.

The following example deck is legal:

It only uses 3 elements if we don't count PPMs, all non-PPM cards have exactly 3 copies and deck size is divisible by 3.

[Dr.Pizzazz]

Thanks for the clarification.

So... I can add daggers to my deck with e.g. life earth and darkness? or would it have to be life earth and daggers?

Also, that looks like an EXCELLENT deck you have there Submachine!

[Submachine]

So... I can add daggers to my deck with e.g. life earth and darkness?

Yes. If you add 3 Daggers to the previously posted example deck, it remains legal. Just remember to pack 3 copies of it if you decide to use Daggers.
