Q: Can I have less than six of a card that costs six quanta, but still have a total of six cards that cost six quanta? Example: 4 Ghost of the Past and 2 Eternity
A: No. But for the given example, it is possible to use six Ghosts of the Past and less than six Eternities. As long as the deck contains six copies of at least one six cost card.

Q: Why has six been consistently typed out in letters when you usually type such numbers in... numbers?
A: What? Oh. I'm just following the pattern laid out to me in the ideas section!


Thanks to Basman-1453 for this tournament idea!

A bit confusing rules.
Make example decks,please.
Im  not sure abouth :
deck must also contain exactly six unique cards (Mark Cards, Pillars, Pendulums, and 'six of sixes' included).

[CactusKing]

This tournament looks like it's going to have a pretty narrow range of decks, considering 4/10 "six of sixes" are permanent shields, which no-one wants 6 of in a deck. I'm not seeing a deck with 6 eternities working very well either.

Im  not sure abouth :
deck must also contain exactly six unique cards (Mark Cards, Pillars, Pendulums, and 'six of sixes' included).

exactly six unique cards usually means there are six different cards in the deck, some with multiple copies.

But each of them are so annoying.

Edit: no public meta discussion, not even by me :silly:

I had a whole story about their usefulness ready, too. But I guess we'll see by the end of the tournament. By then I'll (be allowed to) say why I thought they were good enough to build decks around.

Soooo... are we not allowed to use those decks?

[TheonlyrealBeef]

Which ones? The examples? They are all examples of legal decks.

I made them crappy on purpose: use them if you want.

[Naii_the_Baf]

One other thing, if RT is banned, are we not allowed to use Eternity's "reverse" skill?
