Welcome to "Beat the Highscore!" - #2.5.Strange name, eh? This is because this event is
not the next volume of BtH - yet closely related to it.
This event will be played KO tournament style, similar to the weekly tournaments.
Players will only be allowed to play one of the 20 decks of BtH #1 and #2. In addition, you may replace up to 6 cards of each deck you chose to play!
Feel free to sign up or just generally state interest already, but this tournament will not start before the three (sic) top participants of BtH #2 have played all their additional matches to decide who gains the first and second place. Also, please note that the rules are subject to change until then.
Rules-Bo5
-After each round, winners may use 4 [3] (2) more upgrades if they won 3-0 [3-1] (3-2). This bonus is cumulative, so a player to win the first round 3-0 and the second 3-2 may use 6 upgrades in his third game.
-The 6 cards that may be replaced may indeed only be
replaced. You may not add or remove cards! (In other words, the amount of cards in the deck after your changes has to be the same than it was before)
-No deck you used in a Bo5 may be used again in the same Bo5. (Applying different changes to the same deck skeleton still counts as the same deck) This resets in your next Bo5.
-Sanctuary in Flames is banned.
-When you replace an original decks card with another card, the deck may not contain more than 4 copies of the card you added. Pillars and Pendulums are an exception to this rule.
-Shards and Nymphs are banned.
-Deck codes must be pm'd to me. Match results must be posted here, the decks not.
-After each round, the deck skeleton that was used most often will be banned in the rest of the tournament. I will post an update then, stating which deck that is.
Spoiler for example:
I chose Disxrd as my deck skeleton.

Regardless wether I win or lose with this deck, I may not use Disxrd as my deck skeleton in all the other matches of this very Bo5.
Spoiler for Example for an illegal deck:
This player also choses Disxrd as his deck skeleton. He removes 1 Entropy Pendulum and 1 Darkness Pendulum and adds 1 Discord and 1 Dusk Mantle.

FAQ
Is it allowed to change the mark?
Thanks, I missed that one. I'll say no for now, but will have another look at all decks and give a definite ruling in one or two days.
Is it possible to generate Nymphs using Nymphs tears?
Yes. Bans are always only relevant for the deck code, not for what's on your field in the end.
