Elements PvP Tournament - Your ideas!

[Kalinuial]

Tournament Name: The Stingiest Couple
Idea: Duo/Low Quanta Cost/Efficiency Battle

Rules:
1. Players select two elements from which they can generate quanta.  Notify TO of 2 elements prior to start of Tourney.  TO will post elements when publicly announcing brackets.
2. Players build deck(s) that produce quanta of exactly the same two elements throughout tourney and intend to make use of both elements' quanta. For example, a Pure Mono Water deck with Death mark and no way to use Death quanta is illegal. A Water deck with Physalia and Death Mark is legal. 
3. Except towers, all cards played must have a quanta cost of exactly 1 or 2 ; Cards with 0 quanta cost are banned (Flying weapon is legal; Animate Weapon is banned)
4. Element-less cards are banned, such as Dagger, Dirk, Tower Shield.
5. Nova, Quantum Pillars, and Immolation are banned. Soul catcher is allowed.
6. Must use exactly 30 cards in each deck played; sideboard unlimited as long as selected from 2 chosen elements.
7. Shards Banned.
8. Fully upgraded allowed.

Thanks for considering the idea and feel free to improve it. Cards that might need consideration for balance are Fire Lance and Nightmare.  Apologies in advance if a tourney like this was already done.

only allowing cards that cost 1 or 2 quanta seems extremely restrictive and pretty much forces you to overquanta your deck or run tons of weenies with few pillars that you may not draw. also certain upgraded and several water cards seem way stronger than the rest amongst that cost range, including cards that make stalling (stalling still somewhat works with exactly 30 cards, more rt in the deck has more effective draws left) vs all weenie decks very easy (thinking arse, dryspell, chrysaora, spirits, vagger/vampire stiletto, devourer, thunderstorm, mirrorshield, skull buckler, improved plague, poison, purify lol, possibly sundial, buffed wardens; all 2 cost shards would be op, but you remembered to ban them.)

Denial & Destruction

Your deck MUST consist of ONLY one of these sets of cards:
- 6 Devourers
- 5 Black Holes
- 3 Discords
- 6 Silences
- 4 Antimatter's
- 6 Mind Flayers
- 5 Deflags
- 4 Steals
- 4 Butterfly Effects
- 6 Wardens
- 6 Earthquakes
- 4 Nightmares

One set is not allowed to be used with another set whatsoever. For example, a Discord and Black Hole deck is not allowed, or a Mono Darkness with Devourers and Steals is also not allowed. All shards are banned. Every deck must have at least 6 creatures. (If you use 6 mind flayers, they DO count towards your 6 creatures in your deck.) You must make 3 decks and alternate which deck you use every match. A 3rd deck is required incase of a 1-1 tie, leading onto game 3.

Might need some changing but this is just a base idea.

Not really an idea, more of a request for ideas:

I think its time to celebrate lifes' war win. Thing is, short of waiting for upgraded tournament to allow use of lifes war decks (fixed to 12 upgrades probably) or waiting and applying same deckbuilding rules and/or banning nearly everything viable that does not use life, i dont know how to make that work.

Closest thing to sth potentially fun I found was to force a total of 8 card copies out of the following cards: frog, staves, mitosis, bond, fallen druid.

It really feels that all the options that warp the meta enough to ensure that life is actually used dont leave that much room for creativity.

Didn't want to look through 62 pages of posts. I only have myself to blame if I copy someone else's idea.

POWER RANGERS
Your deck must contain cards with the colors red, blue, yellow, black,and pink.

These are the 3 ways a card can be eligible:

• The element of the card is one of the colors (ex. Any card; Black)
• The ability cost of the card is the element of one of the colors (ex. Forest Spirit; Blue)
• The card art displays one of the colors (ex. Forest Scorpion; Yellow)

Marks with the listed colors on their art do not count, other than and . Shards banned.

Can be balanced in whatever ways needed.

• Upgraded cards are [banned//allowed].
• Spoiler for Banned Cards:

  

  Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

  Deck import code : [Select]

  - It seems likely a few broken cards exist for such a tournament meta as this. I have not come up with what those might be but such cards would be listed here in the deck code.
• First player to generate 50 deaths wins the match.
• Note: This may involve a varying amount of 'games' to determine. Counts are cumulative starting from game 1 of each match.
• Death effects do not count, only actual creature deaths.

Tournament Organizers Note

If you think there is an overpowered card that ought to be banned, or you have some concerns about the tournament metagame, mechanics or other stuff, do NOT post it publicly in the comments or anywhere else on the Forums. Instead, send a private message to Tournament Organizers, who will privately discuss about it. Thanks for your cooperation.

3rd - TBD
4th - TBD

*Note-- this idea contains an alt-win-con scenario. Please be aware this brings into play a unique situation about determining winner/loser and handling of desyncs and d/c's.

uff, going through 99 deathscreenshots per match

[kaempfer13]

Focussing heavily on the rare card Shard of Readiness, so I post here rather than just making it real, so i can see how you guys react.

Upgraded cards are allowed, but not required.
Shard of Sacrifice, Shard of Bravery, Shard of Readiness, Golden hourglass, Sundial and Precognition are banned.
The goal of each game is to reduce your own HP to 0. Killing your opponent is a loss.


We have discussed this in blab and concluded there are at least six viable deck types, and none appear to completely dominate the others.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but please consider running it.
