what happens if 2 players try to troll eachother by just submitting pure pillars or something. (15 Quantum Towers for the lulz?)

*ponder*
It will become 60 pillars VS 60 pillars, and the coin toss will make a inst win/lose.
Seems like need more work to make it works.
*/ponder*

Maybe one submitting a deck, the other split it into two parts, then the one submitting the deck choice which half he is keeping...

1. Each player submit 30-40 cards.
2. Each player split the other's deck into two parts, the lesser part must contain at least 10 cards.
3. After the other split your deck, you chose which part you are keeping, the part you not keeping will given to the other.
4. Build the deck with cards you keep and the other gives, drop anything which can't put into the same deck (the 7th nova or so, if it is a mix of nova and SN, you get to chose which to drop of course.), plus any number of Pillar or Pendulum. (unuped only, you can only use uped from the deck you get form steps 1-3 .)
5. Duel!

Good idea, but not necessary, 60 card troll decks don't happen, because that debates the entire point of doing this.  If you do it for fun, there is no fun in doing 15 quanta pillars, its fun for example including immolation, but no immo targets.  15 QT wouldn't really add anything to the game.  If it was to begin an event, people want to win, meaning that they both wouldn't pray for a 50% RNG win.  The one who would probably want to would be the one with the greater chance of losing, and the "favorite" wouldn't be trying for an RNG win.

For my first idea, as soon as I read TribalTrouble, I found submitting all pillar will be a better strategy. (If you aim for win, if it is for fun you will put everything crazy you can think of indeed.)
Since the other will get nothing useful to pick from, and if the other put anything useful in his deck, one can take most if not all useful cards.
So one make the deck, the other split, one pick which half, will encourage a better deck submit.

This makes sense in your argument, however I addressed that your idea isn't necessary.  You are trying to refute that your idea is in fact unnecessary, by saying that if your idea came about, it would be a smart strategy to do what people wouldn't do with the original idea.  If you followed me, you basically argued for something with incorrectly appropriated evidence.
