Phase 4 – Final Battle




1: Ban Cards
Time's up!
- Each player bans six cards
- Banned cards can be of any element or ‘other’
- Each ban must be from a different element (i.e. you may not ban two :aether cards or two 'other' cards but you may ban one of each)
- You may not ban pillars or pendulums
- Both unupped and upped version of the card will be banned using that one ban
- Opponent cannot use any of these banned cards in any of his/her decks
- You can use the cards that you banned but you cannot use the cards your opponent banned
 
PM your ban list to kevkev60614.  If a contestant does not PM a list, no cards are banned and their opponent may use any cards.  Banned cards will be made public when the countdown timer above reaches 0.  Contestants will then have five days to build their decks for the Final Battle which will last seven days.
 


2: Prepare Decks
Time's up!
Deckbuilding rules:
- Any amount of cards
- Maximum amount of upgraded cards is the number of points a player scored during phases 1-3
- At least half of the cards in your deck have to be in-element
- Any mark
- No Cards Banned by your opponent
- No Shards of Gratitude

You may not use an off-element more than once.  If you use an Aether Pillar in your first deck, you may not use Aether Pillars, Dimensional Shields, Phase Dragons or any other Aether cards in any other decks.  If your first deck is a rainbow using all 12 elements you better reeeeally like monos.  You may use 'other' cards in as many decks as you'd like.



3: Fight!
Time's up!
The Final Battle is "best-of-nine" meaning that the player who gets five wins first, wins the battle.  If a Master wins, he or she retains the title. If a challenger wins, he or she becomes the new Master.
 
Players are to contact their opponents using PMs and find a duel time that is suitable for both players. Keep in mind that best-of-nine might take a long time, so you might need up to two hours to finish all the matches.  Players are highly encouraged to post a countdown timer for their duel in Trials Battle Results (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,370.0.html) at least 24 hours before it happens so that community members will have a chance to observe the battle.
 
Contestants have seven days to finish Final Battle.  Please fight as soon as possible, however, to avoid running out of time.  Please post match results and decks used in the Trials Battle Results thread created before the battle.

Just for clarification, this means that we can ban cards from our own Elements, correct?

Only 1 card.

Sorry for the confusion.  Following are rules that were added during my edits:

- Each ban must be from a different element (i.e. you may not ban two :aether cards or two 'other' cards but you may ban one of each)
- You may not ban pillars or pendulums


You may not use an off-element more than once.  If you use an Aether Pillar in your first deck, you may not use Aether Pillars, Dimensional Shields, Phase Dragons or any other Aether cards in any other decks.  If your first deck is a rainbow using all 12 elements you better reeeeally like monos.

Let the crazy dispute regarding the new rule begin!


My question : does this off-element include marks as well?


Ex) A gravity challenger uses mono-gravity graviton firemaster deck with pendulums and fire mark. Can he use this deck multiple times?

No.  If you're participating in Aether Trials you may use an Air mark every battle if you so wish.  But you may only use Air cards in one battle.

Is 'other'considered an off-element?

i.e. You can use quantum pillars in one deck then you are locked out?

Just to verify, does this mean we can ban one in-element card?

Good question.  You may use 'other' cards in as many decks as you'd like.

Up to one.  Yes.

These rules are a little restricting, but thats always more fun.

It's great to be encouraging rainbows, and about a million fire decks like in Arena.
It's a shame for my trios, but I doubt anyone considered what may in the future be named as 'the Drunk factor'.


One thing I'd just like to be clarified: We can use the exact same duo/trio/ect deck twice?
