The top two of each group will go onto an 8 player single elimination, seeded so that two players from the same swiss group won't meet until finals, & that no winners of their groups face winners of other groups

Swiss ranking priority: most matches won, least games lost, most WC points

Time to send in choices (PM serprex with preferences of 4 elements to be unrestricted & 4 cards to ban):

Sign Ups Complete

Time to complete matches:

Deadline extended:

& done


Deck building for swiss:

Players PM serprex X different elements to unrestrict & X different cards to restrict. X is the number of players in the group. In reverse order an element will be added to the set of unrestricted elements for the group & a card will be added to the set of banned cards for the group. Example:

1. Deflagration Steal Pulverizer SoFo
2. Discord Sanctuary Abomination Mutation
3. Earthquake SoSe SoPa SoFr
4. Miracle SoD Sundial Sanctuary
The unrestricted elements would be
The restricted elements would be
The banned cards would be: Miracle, Earthquake, Discord, Deflagration

Matches are Bo7
They may use restricted elements once
For one game they may use which represents a deck which uses at least 4 elements. Eliminated elements are still not allowed in this deck
Players should declare which elements they used after each game

Monos of restricted elements are not allowed. Either 6 non PPMs from the unrestricted elements must be used, or a second restricted element must be included. (So monoair with 1 pend in the above set of elements works, but that'll eliminate & )

Other cards may be used without restriction, but do not count towards 6 cards from unrestricted elements to avoid restricted mono ban

Upgrades per game: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 11, 9

Scoreline should be posted to this thread. Loser should confirm a win in following post. Decks should be added to post once a group is complete

(eg KingKiller wins 4-2 over LordOwner, so KingKiller posts 'KingKiller 4-2 LordOwner', LordOwner posts 'LordOwner 2-4 KingKiller' after groups finish they edit post with their decks in a spoiler tag)

Spoiler for examples:

These examples will be using the example set of restricted elements & banned cards

This deck also would've been a legal deck if the RT & Poisons were replaced with Lightnings

1st thought: no relics pls.

The deckbuilding section reads slightly confusing. I think the definition of a restricted element is missing. Furthermore, the example mentions Disquake, but no player chose Earth as an element? Please elaborate. What are these elements to the players themselves, and are the rest of the elements unusable, or something else?

If you put relics in, I will feel forced to use them. Then I'll draw them all in my opening hand and ragequit again.

[moehrpi]

No Relics; 4, 6, 8, 10 , 12 upgrades sounds better to me.

All elements besides 4 selected by group are restricted. Disquake would need to include 6 cards from the unrestricted elements, so..

After this deck, the player declares which of or are no longer available to them. They can no longer play a deck with restricted cards. This deck would be illegal if going into the game either of or were unavailable

[Wyand]

Tbf I prefer the simpler rules of previous WCs.  :'(

[worldwideweb3]

After relics have been removed, ups per game will need increasing.

[serprex]

You can always ban Relic if you don't like it

Just increase the normal ups then. I’m sure the participants will all agree to ban relics between us unofficially anyways :angry:
