For the seven samurai challenge,
Are loop holes allowed? (a photon, gemrider, damsel, brimstone eater, deja vu, spark or 7 dead cards)
What about cards that break the 6 card rule? (FFQ, pharaoh, Nymph's tears, fractal, mitosis)
Is chimera a creature?
Yes, but discouraged
Creatures that generate creatures are fine, and count as a single creature. Cards that make copies do not count (NT, Fractal, Mitosis)
I'm going to say yes.
vrt is right. Going against the theme will hurt you in the polls
