- (Game is a single game, Match is the best-of-nine.
- Each player is given
32 ban points he/she may use to ban cards
- 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.
- Limiting a card means the opponent will only be able to use that card TWICE during the match for in-element, ONCE for off-element. This does not reduce the maximum amount of copies for the games the card is used.
- Halve of a card means the opponent will be able to use at most THREE COPIES of that card during each game. This means he/she will be able to use three copies of the card every game.
- You may Limit AND Halve the same card.
- You may Limit/Halve/Ban at most 3 in-element cards. (Limiting+Halving a single card still counts as one card
.)

PM your ban list to
RavingRabbid. If a contestant does not PM a list, no cards are banned and their opponent may use any cards, in any way. Banned cards will be made public when the countdown timer above reaches 0. Contestants will then have nine days to build their decks and fight.
2: Prepare Decks 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. Rest of cards can be from any element or 'other'. This means a 31-card deck must have
16 or more in-element cards. A 31-card deck with 15 in-element cards is illegal.
- Any mark
- No cards banned by your opponent
- Mark cards are pillars of their respective elements
3: Fight!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 at least 24 hours before it happens so that community members will have a chance to observe the battle.
Contestants have nine days to finish Final Battles. 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.
