"If you use an element there must be at least 4 non-Pillar/Pendulum cards included in the deck."

Does this mean that if you use less than 4, the deck is simply just illegal?

@shockcanon, majofa said yes to this a few posts before your question.

I hate to see that red color, eww. Decks later, when I'm in the mood. Grats shock, you were a great opponent, and good luck in those remaining 2 matches!
---

A night passed and I still cannot word my frustration. I regretfully admit, that it was a mindset problem on my side. I don't want to reveal more about it,
it just poisons my life. I don't want to lessen shock's merits, because he fought well, chose his decks accurately.

Spoiler for Hidden:

g1 (0-1)

Talking about mindset problems, look at my poor choice of a deck. His g1 deck was just perfect for the occasion, you have to start a match like this.
My lame chrysas meant nothing. He even had a t2 freeze and a late game purify.

I knew poison is coming. But I wanted to play light, to have water for later games. Using SoD instead of Sancts wasn't an option, due to
Discord and needed the ups for the Long Swords. Hopeless game, I was just tried to shake off damage by using Miracles, thus having not enough
quanta for Crusaders. When I finally played a Crus a BW popped up instantly...

Another bad choice, but I haven't really prepped trios, had only a few. SoPa Deja Hope was the other option, CP Bless Dejas another, but I wanted
to save water and entropy for later... An early Bone Wall shattered all my hopes, poor Arsenic. My only remaining hopes, the poisons got totally bottomdecked
(last 4 cards = 3 poisons).

OK, going back for sure things: Entropy rush with Discords. Of course he played Entropy, too, and had a t1 Discord... My neighbors heard my anger, too.
I started saving upped ppms, so I was able to play my Discord t3. Saved my life. Meanwhile he had a bad hand, mission successful, Entropy saved me again.

Choosing Patient Wardens wasn't a problem here. The problem was that I haven't chose the proper version for this occasion. The non-Poseidon version
with more creatures. Funny thing I could have won using this version, but my first Warden came as card #16... Really. I think I was also too defensive,
I should have released SoPa much earlier (at least 2 turns earlier). When Eternity appeared (the only one in his deck...) I was forced to do so.
Came close to win, but Luciferins sealed my fate. Rethinking all this stuff again, no, it wasn't about deck choice, Poseidons version was just great.
And Wardens may came too late, but I should have released SoPa 2-3 turns earlier. What was I thinking?

You cannot use the same combination of elements more than once in a match. (monos included)

It looks as it shock had an illegal deck g4.

Nevermind, I'll look more carefully next time. :|

Yeah, that white is very deceiving. It was quite obvious when playing. Too bad, I always forgot to use these sort of gimmicky stuffs, 4 holy flashes, lol.

Spoiler for Hidden:

g1 i got an early arse and kae got his early druidic staff. the jade shield came soon after and i was lacking in bolts to deal with the nymphs. i misplayed by bolting a nymph and then playing my bonewall. i got kae down to 16hp and never say fractal for the nymphtal. dont think i wouldve won with a nymphtal tho as death was streached playing all the bonewalls to survive. think kae bottomdecked bonds
g2 i was playing slow fearing upped shreikers and RT(lul). kaes turn1 longsword worried me but then i topdecked a defleg, faren came soon after and it was pretty comfy once i realised RT wasnt a possability
g3 thought i was unlucky with a slow hand but i thought i was playing against 3 unupped bonewalls not 4 upped ones. also thought i had more poison in my mono that i did i didnt really stand a chance here
g4 interesting opening hand but it worked out. 6ttw vs 3 swings of a duridic staff and slower damage
g5 my turn to get 6ttw'd by immo, draws were truly tragic here didnt see a damage source all game, only counterplay i had was quaking kaes only pend in the deck
g6 not sure why i went with longswords over staves in a healrush but it worked out
g7a lost toss and hand was pretty bad had my unupped gpull and useless chimera(why was that in my deck) and other high quanta cost cards clogging my start hand but vs ai i managed to gpull all the guards and new SoFo and win with the few damager sources i could play
g7b won toss and had upped gpull in hand felt pretty good. then on his turn kae played 1 unupped quanta. it was at that point i had won

didnt expect him to have a fast trio; still his deck is superinconsistent and mine could really have drawn some more creatures (even so I lost by a turn and his 6ttw through jadestaff is up to par for his deck)

R.I.P. immortal feud. It must suck to actually win matches and get your hopes up only for them to be crushed. Goodluck! I would say you need it, but needing something implies that it actually changes your future outcomes.

if i understand the format/rewards ive already got at least 1 mark, theres no losing from this point on
