Special Rules

• Always read the second post! It contains equally important information most of the time.
• Upgraded cards are allowed, but not required.
• Every player has to declare an element before the tournament starts. You cannot change that element during the tournament.
• Each deck must include at least 6 copies of the 2 cards from the element you have chosen (from the list shown below). These cards can be used in their unupgraded versions as well.
• For every card you use outside of the element you have chosen, you must use 2 unupgraded cards.
• Shards are allowed. But for every copy of a shard you use, you must use 4 unupgraded cards; moreover, you cannot use more than 6 shards per deck.
• The number of "mandatory" unupgraded cards for off-element cards and shards can't exceed the deck size. See FAQ for more details.
  
• Maximum deck size is: 40 cards

Tournament Organizer Note

If you think that there is an overpowered card that should be banned, don't say it publicly in the comments. Instead, send them to SpikeSpiegel, Dm1321, Submachine and dawn to dusk who will privately discuss whether the card is really OP or not.

Congratulations for the winners!

TOURNAMENTS FAQ

Q: How do I declare an element?
A: Send it to the hosting TO. A list players/elements will be set up before the tourney starts.

Q: Could you be more specific about what is meant by 'at least 6 copies'?
A: This means you have to use 6 or more copies, total, of the 2 cards given for your declared element in each deck. You don't have to use 6 of both. You may use 6 copies of one card given for your element, 6 copies of the other, 3+ copies of both, or any other combination totaling 6 copies or higher.

Q: If I use a shard off the element I've chosen, I've to "pay" 6 upgraded cards? 4 for the shard and 2 for the off element card?
A: Yes.

Q: If I have a unupped deck and 6 copies of the cards in the tournament list, then I can use any amount of off element cards in the deck? With max 40 cards and max 6 shards?
A: Nope. If you're using a 40 cards deck (for example), the maximum number of off element non-shard cards would be 20; because you'd be forced to use 40 unupped cards (the whole deck).

The sum of unupgraded cards you've to use for using off element cards (or off element cards + shards) can't exceed the deck size.

Q: Do pillars/pends/deck mark/"other" cards count as off-element cards for this ruleset?
A: Yes

Q: Do i need to use a mark corresponding to the element i chose?
A: No, you may use any mark you wish.

Quick question regarding the "at least 6 copies"

Am i able to use 6 copies of one card out of the 2 and leave it like that? Or do we have to use atleast 1 copy ?

[rob77dp]

The deck checker does not seem to have a choice to check decks for "Specialization #2"...

EDIT FROM TO: PLEASE WAIT.

Any combination totaling 6 copies (or higher).

6+0
5+1
4+2
3+3
etc...

[Vangelios]

if I have a unnuped deck and 6 copies of the cards above
then I can use any amount extra card in the deck? with max 40 cards and max 4 shards?

Looks I've forgot something...(sorry folks, It's late here and I'm pretty tired).

Updating rules soon, btw, nope. The number of unupgraded cards (even hypotethical) to use for using off element cards (or off element cards + shards) can't exceed the deck size.

I mean: in a 40 cards deck (without shards), you can use max 20 off element cards (20 off element cards = you've to use a fully unupped deck).
