Double Double Double Double - Upper Bracket Round 3

[theelkspeaks]

Rules Reminder

For each match, two elements will be randomized.  Players must use these two elements as the marks of their game 1 and game 2 decks, in either order.  Additionally, an event card rule will modify each round's rules.  Both of these will be revealed throughout the event.

The following rules also apply to all rounds' decks, unless an event card supercedes them:
You must use an even number of copies of every card in your deck, though nymphs and their corresponding alchemy cards will be considered to be the same card for the purposes of this rule.
The number of elements present in your deck, including Other, must be an even number of elements.  An element is present if any card from that element is present, INCLUDING THE MARK OF YOUR DECK.
There must be an even number of unique cards in each deck, though nymphs and their corresponding alchemy cards will be considered to be the same card for the purposes of this rule.
Players may use 3 upgrades in game 1 of a match, 6 upgrades in game 2, and 12 upgrades in game 3.

Event Card

PILLARS AND PENDULUMS DO NOT COUNT FOR THE EVENT CARD.


Time's Up!  Bonus days were added due to tournament pacing.

For the event card, do pendulums count, too? As in, using just 4 pendulums from the opposing element to meet the criteria, or 2 pends and 2 other cards from that element.

Pillars and Pendulums are not intended to count for the event card.  I just clarified that in the Opening Post.

Using a mark counts as using that element, right? So a darkness mark requires 4 non-quantum light cards?

Correct.  And using those light cards, in turn, requires using 4 non-quantum darkness cards.

Still waiting for word from mrpaper/Zerrid, all other matches are cleared to start!

Slowly let my poison destroy her. RNG wasn't kind to her, and by the time she had the combo for her first scorp she had over 15 poison counter and less than 20 hp.

This one was intense, as I she kept me thinking so that I didn't misplay and accidentally deck myself out. dagger and sancs healed away all damage her chargers and disco could make. She had many cards in hand so I assumed AM or other CC, so I kept my creatures in hand for OTK burst. As soon as she played the grav shield both my fire eaters become useless and instantly discarded. with 2 cards left I barely reached enough for the OTK burst.
