They are fresh and juicy while radiating with green glow. Time to grow those chernobylian mutant carrots.

TOURNAMENTS Q&A

Q: Do I have to use any of the aid cards in each deck? Or can I build something with none of the aids?
A: You can build decks that do not have aid cards in them.

Q: Are you also allowing the upgraded versions of these cards and banning Quantum Tower?
A: Yes. When an unupgraded card is mentioned, we also mean its upgraded form.




Many thanks to Kalinual for coming up with this idea (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/post-your-tournament-ideas-here/msg1288395/#msg1288395).

First a noob question regarding the rule: "All non-PPM cards..."
What is PPM card ? What does that acronym stands for ?

Second question: do I have to use any of the aid cards in each deck ?
Or can I build something with none of the aids ?

MasterWalks is correct. It is a substitution term we decided to use in this topic (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/pillars-pendulums-and-mark-cards/).

You can build decks that do not have aid cards in them.

Congratulations for the winners!

https://challonge.com/plant_those_carrots

1st: Submachine (organic)
2nd: PlayerOa (chemical)
3rd: Deathata6 (chemical)
4th: ARTHANASIOS (organic)



I didn't plan to participate, so I speedbuilt my decks within 5 minutes each.
Both of my decks were (almost) available for both Organic and Chemical Gardeners, but the tech choices from the Organic cardpool gave me the edge. It ended in a flawless victory. :)

I lead with this deck in all matches. Didn't lose once.

He had a 1-Pillar start. Close game!

Started with 4-5 PPMs on the first 2 turns.

I completely forgot about the "Default +3 upgrades" rule, so my decks both lack 3 upgrades.
Actually, Diamond Shields would have been free upgrades too, so Earth Stompy lacks 5 upgrades.

GGs!

There seems to have been a small misunderstanding regarding the amount of upgrades allowed.

[22:25:30] ‹PlayerOa› Don't submachine's decks seem to contain too many upgrades?
[22:25:36] ‹PlayerOa› or have I just misunderstood the rules
[22:30:54] ‹InsignificantWeeaboo›
[22:35:39] ‹Captain_Scibra› ‹@PlayerOa› water deck is fine...
[22:35:56] ‹Captain_Scibra› He actually could have has about 5 more upgrades in there.
[22:36:00] ‹Captain_Scibra› had*
[22:37:12] ‹Captain_Scibra› Same with the Earth one. Could have had more upgrades.,
[22:37:23] ‹Captain_Scibra› Each companion and tool grants an upgrade.
[22:37:35] ‹Captain_Scibra› You also start with 3 "free" upgrade slots.
[22:38:04] ‹Captain_Scibra› Each unique companion/tool also grants an additional upgrade.
[22:39:43] ‹Captain_Scibra› Actually, his Earth deck could have been almost fully upgraded because he used almost all tools and companions.
[22:40:10] ‹Captain_Scibra› I'm also just noticing that Oa left.
[22:41:36] ‹Captain_Scibra› I'm... also finding ironic that the term tool is kind of flipped. Most of the chemical/organic cards are tools too, at least mechanically speaking.
[22:53:09] ‹PlayerOa› Oh shoot. Completely misunderstood then.
[22:53:27] ‹PlayerOa› Though it was 3 + 1 * (each unique aid card)
[23:03:01] ‹Captain_Scibra› That +1 per aid card
[23:07:51] ‹PlayerOa› That’s what I missed :silly:
[23:08:20] ‹moehrpi› The rules are phrased weirdly. Additional copies are not unique.
[23:09:13] ‹Captain_Scibra› Rules also didn't really cap anything
[23:09:25] ‹moehrpi› They did?
[23:09:40] ‹Captain_Scibra› Other than upgrades,
[23:10:03] ‹moehrpi› Most cards were banned.
[23:10:03] ‹Captain_Scibra› Garden cards didn't really need to even be in decks.
[23:13:33] ‹Captain_Scibra› Wait.
[23:13:50] ‹Captain_Scibra› Is there that each tool/companion adds an upgrade?
[23:14:43] ‹Captain_Scibra› Other than uniques, that is.
[23:15:47] ‹Captain_Scibra› Maybe Oa didn't miss that...
[23:17:11] ‹Calindu› The decks are illegal, yeah
[23:17:42] ‹Calindu› Because otherwise, the term unique doesn't make sense there
[23:19:07] ‹moehrpi› ‹@Calindu› That's how I see it.

This is one of my decks, with 7 unique (which I understood as different) tool/companion cards - and therefore using 3 + 7 upgrades. Which one is the correct interpretation?

"For each unique Gardening tool and Companion in the deck, players can use +1 upgrade."

The intended rule was to add +1 upgrade for each Companion and Tool. For example, for each Hematite/Steel Golem, you could add +1 upgrade. At least that's how I interpreted Kali's words. To reflect this, I also added "+1 upgrade for each" to the Tool and Companion lists. If this was poorly worded, I apologize for it. :/
