3.1. DETERMINING OPPONENTSAmount of cards in the Vault determine how many players from each team participates on a round:
0-29 cards | = | team is eliminated |
30-65 cards | = | 1 player fights |
66-98 cards | = | 2 players fight |
99-131 cards | = | 3 players fight |
132-164 cards | = | 4 players fight |
165-197 cards | = | 5 players fight |
198-230 cards | = | 6 players fight |
231-263 cards | = | 7 players fight |
264+ cards | = | 8 players fight |
We want to stay below 132 cards so we only have to field 3 decks. If Legit plays and wins, it puts us at 135 cards which means next round we're spread too thin because we need to play 4 matches. We still want to win so as to save the cards in Legit's deck, so we use a substitute so that when we do win, there is no salvage and we stay at 129 cards.
Edit: ya Tucking said the same thing. It's just better for us to build less decks because otherwise we're stretched way too thin.
