Special Rules

• Always read the second post! It contains equally important information most of the time.
• Upgraded cards are allowed, but not required.
• Your maximum deck size is 44 cards.
• Shard of Patience, Shard of Gratitude, Shard of Focus, Shard of Integrity, Discord, Black Hole, Earthquake, Devourer, Trident, Amber Nymph, Nymphs Tears, Steal, Deflagration, Pulverizer, Eternity, Sanctuary, Sundial, Dimensional Shield and Wings are banned.
• At least 40% (see table below) of your decks cards have to be one element, and another 40% from an element different from the first.
• The Mark of the deck needs to be from a third element (different from the first two). The remaining 20% can be from any of these 3 elements and Other.

Because percentages and "at least" are so hard for people, here is a full overview of how many cards you must use for each of the elements different from your Mark.

Spoiler for table:

30	12
31	13

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.

Q: What about Mark Cards?
A: They count as Pillars from their respective element.

are there going to be any measures taken to prevent ppl from playing a duo deck and then adding a random mark, whose quanta and element are completely unused?

No. Just like you can use 12 pendulums from a non-Mark element and nothing else from that element. It is my conviction that decks that actually make use of this quanta are at an advantage compared to those who do not.

Can we use the same deck the whole tourney if we want to?

[iancudorinmarian]

I suggest writing "other" instead of other if you mean "other" cards

[Spielkind]

funny question, read it as "other" cause of the theme, tribalance shouldnt give you the opton to play 6 elements?!
plz TOrB clarify, its meant other or "other". 

[Gorghandi]

seriously id just recommend calling it neutral, if meant for the neutral cards. sure the bazaar and deck build calls them other' but i think were all smart enough to know they are the non-element/ or neutral cards. then other can mean any, and neutral can be the non element cards.

[Spielkind]

TOrB´s example for deck "Note that any of the Darkness cards may be replaced with Time, Aether or Other cards and still be legal." should be clear enough. It´s just a Capital in original post or us being petty.

this part of the rules implies that other only means the neutral cards. just pointing that out.

So does this mean that we can have a 50/50 deck?

[Gorghandi]

yes. there are parts that already state, that you don't have to use any cards for the mark and can instead add 6cards of the 2 elements chosen. 8if 40card deck. i infact have a 50/50 deck, with useless mark. prepared as one of my 6 decks I'm bringing.
