so why not have an unlimited number of the same mark in one deck?
Because then unupped marks would be equal or better than Pillars. (The instance of being strictly superior is not acceptable and the unacceptability is magnified by the rarity gap)

Should unlimited upgraded marks be allowed?
Probably not to avoid confusion.

I've never seen an upgraded mark in play, but I've heard that they don't stack with your base mark, even if they are the same element.  I think a reasonable change would be to make it so that upgraded and unupgraded marks stack with your base mark.  That way, upgrading a mark would be more useful than it is now; nobody seems to want to upgrade a mark because of this, and I wouldn't upgrade one right now, unless I had 7 of it.

Not that very many people will have more than 12 of a mark anyway, but keeping them limited to 6 per deck seems fine to me.  They do provide that small advantage against earthquake/trident, even when they aren't completely indestructible by stacking with your base mark.

unnupped and upped cards count as the same card so only 7 marks would needed for 1 to be useless. and I think there are 2 people who have over 6 of one type of mark

yellow part is why I think we need to change this.  Those people worked hard for their marks and should be able to use all of them.  Also if there really are 2 known people, then there are 3 people all together.

one person hasn't made his # of marks public yet.

I never knew you couldn't put more then 7 of a mark card in a deck, I dont even have one to put in. I agree that should be changed since they're just like pillars.

Btw you can only get mark cards from tournaments and donation ?

Mark cards cannot be gotten from donation, only from Leagues and Tournaments to the best of my knowledge.

I've personally always felt marks were already OP. They give an extra target for earthquake, which is better than what using only pillars can currently do. I think it's unfair to have a card that is better to use in almost every case than another card.
