Suggestion:

No cardpool can have all cards from one element. Need at least 15 cards from another element (30%). Something like this to keep it from being boring.

Perhaps ability to alternate between pillars and pendulums of the same element before each match?

Who will play monos?  8-) :P


How about no pillars/pends/marks in cardpool and cut it to 30 or something like this?

Suggestion:
Give players the option to reduce their cardpool in exchange for extra upgrades, or to increase the cardpool at the cost of upgrades.

I'd probably play a mono if I was going for the win ;D... But that is also a good idea, it makes it more versatile in the decks you can build.

If there aren't too many people signing up, how about making this a league. Everyone playing everyone else once (bo5)

I like the stated rules. They are simple to understand and flexible. Changing rules now messes with deckbuilding efforts already made.

Oh, really...

Also, there is no need to spam. Suggestions and feedback. On a general note, do not expect drastic changes for this sideboard. Such changes should have been introduced at an earlier stage.

This is more of a suggestion for future sideboard events than the current one but I feel that 8-10 upgrades is the most balanced. 6 is a little too low to build your sideboard around certain elements. Not sure what others think.

I find the limit of six to be interesting.  It forces you to think about which cards benefit you the most from being upgraded.  Do you take six of the same card all upgraded? Then there are cards that seem great alone upgraded and worth bringing, but it doesn't serve the overall strategy and perhaps six of that card are overkill.

You can change the upgraded cards every game (IE upgrade other cards from your sideboard. You can just have max 6 ups in your deck that you play)

A vote for the best deck from the group stages after they are over. Best deck voted could get a small prize  :D

Did you expect such a significant rule change suggestion to be taken seriously, when posted in the result topic of all places? I would not accept, let alone introduce such a change after the event is already underway.

Previous Sideboard gave you extra upgrades for your performance during the group round as well. The removal of the knockout round required the rules to be respecified in terms of upgrades, but this was done with several days left on the sign-up topic and plenty of opportunities to send me a new sideboard.

For all suggestions that you want to be taken into consideration for a possible next sideboard, I suggest you post them in the appropriate feedback topic.

Section 3 of the rules really is not clear, I did not have time to rewrite this during the holidays. Previous sideboard had additional upgrades during the knockout round depending on your performance in the group round.

january 2
u made the group thing january 5 lol, probably the time to send the deck ended january 4, why u didn't give an extension and made a real announcement about this if like u said, it wasn't clear? u even left out from the tournament 3 players because they didn't send the deck in time (during the holidays)

i don't wanna be polemic but lol
