Elements: Academy - Rules

By "Pillars are unrestricted", do you mean that you can use any off-element pillars as long as it doesn't make up more that 50% of the deck?

Yep.

Since decks don't have to be posted anymore, there's currently no way of knowing whether a player used an illegal deck or not. With that in mind, I've been thinking of adding the following rule:

"A player may request a deck check after the match by posting in the respective Round X results thread. In that case, both players have to send their decks to the host via a forum PM."

But then, that just makes things overly complicated. So I've decided to restore the rule that says that decks have to be posted by both players. I apologize for changing the rules (again). I promise there will be no more changes after this one unless I notice something really important.

Also, remember some of you still have to send me your element and sideboard

You must use at least 50% of your chosen element in your deck

if we can choose 1 element and 8 sideboard cards, how we can possible play a deck that isn't 50% in element?

I believe the "8 card sideboard" means "8 different cards", otherwise your remark makes a lot of sense indeed!

Can't the players just show each other their decks after the match?

Meh, I have to do the checking, not the players.

Considering this is getting close to the end, can someone create/suggest an icon?

[Vindilos]

A square academic cap could look nice.

[iancudorinmarian]

Added icon.

Thanks a lot, Aves!
