VOTING : Card Designer Challenge : Duality's Legacy R3 (Finals)

[ZephyrPhantom]

Brackets:

- The Winner is Essence, congratulations to Woodland Sylph | Sylph Queen (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,27623)!

Voting Criteria

When voting, consider:
- Originality - how unique the card is/different from cards already in-game.
- Balance - whether the card itself is balanced enough to be in the game right now if possible.
- Theme - Whether the card chosen fits the theme of Duality (interaction with two elements, possible to be claimed by either of them), as well as if it fits the theme of the individual elements in the card.
- Strategy - What kinds of new decks this card could start if introduced.
- Creativity - How well the creator in question did with this round's rules. Round 1's rules were:

Special Rules: Refraction : Your card must be able to convert 1 element of quantum into another element. Fairly self-explanatory - Rustler (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1973.0.html) is one kind of example you can look at.

Interestingly enough, while this round had few cards submitted, i find most of them very well made. Linked?

[Rutarete]

I like how 2 of the 3 pairs are set up by element (even if they were paired up randomly)

2 times in a row against Essence? You're trying to make me lose, aren't you?

If you note any odd pairings, blame the RNG, please.

Elegance, Balance and Focus.
2 worthy cards.

I had Manipul8r as an opponent in the first round of all three brackets, and I noticed many other similarities in bracket design.  While of course, the winning design from each round would have to face considerable competition, and has to go undefeated regardless, a shakeup of the brackets might well have been in order, just to give designers a chance to face off against multiple people.

[ZephyrPhantom]

I wasn't paying much attention to similarities when I made the brackets, and I am unable to alter the matchups now (If there is a way, I'm probably not aware of it on Challonge.).

Apologies for the similar matchups. I will take this into future consideration whenever I have a tournament like-event going in the future.

Round 2 up.

Final round up.

I knew essence's card would beat me once i saw it. Im glad it made it this far.
