Elemental Conquest - Rules

[Ghaladh]

A few questions about certain rules that are not clear to me.

Players have approximately 7 days to make the fight happen
Is 7 days the duration of each round or of the whole tournament?

You may only use 6 copies of any non-pillar/pendulum card across all 3 of your decks.
That means that i can use one non-pillar/pendulum card in more than one deck? To make an example: I can use 6 copies of Deflagration in 1 deck or 3 copies in 2 decks or 2 copies in 3 decks; is that correct?

Any pillar or pendulum card may be used in unlimited number, but only in 1 of your 3 decks.
That means that I can use one element in only one deck, if I am understanding correctly, right?

Build three decks for round 1, and one deck for each subsequent round!
At the end of the round, you may replace ONE of your three decks with any deck such that your new lineup is still legal.  The other two decks may not be modified in any way other than adding 2 upgrades.
Since there are 8 rounds after the first (9 rounds in total), that means that I need to have 11 different decks ready or that I can choose whether to have them or not?

Thanks for your patience

I think it's 7 days for each round, not the whole tournament.

1. 7 days per round.
2. Your example with Deflag is correct - no more than 6 total copies of Deflag across your 3 active decks in any round.
3. You may use each pillar or pendulum card in only one deck.  Using Fire Pendulum in one deck bans it from your other two decks.
4. You may replace 1 deck at the end of each round.  If you choose not to, that's ok too!

So each deck has to use a different type of pillar?

Each deck may have one or more pillars.

Any given pillar may only appear in one deck. (Using Fire Pendulum in your first deck bans Fire Pendulum from deck 2 and deck 3.  Deck 1 may still have Water Pendulum.)

Thanks for the answers.

I suppose that the additional decks might have a pillar already used in the first 3 decks, but none of the set of 3 you are going to use must have a pillar in common.
That means that at the second round I can substitute my mono-dark with a duo dark-fire, provided that none of the other 2 decks I am going to use has neither Fire or Darkness pillars.

The same goes for the card counts. My 3 initial decks, for instance, have respectively 30, 36 and 34 cards (100 in total); if I decide to substitute the deck with 34 cards, I must make sure that the new entry has at least the same amount of cards to maintain the minimum amount of 100 cards.

Interesting rules. I think I will sign up! :-)

I strongly considered not doing so for this event, but unfortunately the available cards were going to make the decks in this event too close to the most popular decks in BL and CL.  By restricting cards, we create events with unique metagames to solve.

Maybe I overlooked it but I don't see shards banned. I assumed they were but maybe not.

Are shards allowed as long as they comply with the rest of the rules?

[theelkspeaks]

Yes, shards are legal.

Banlist is final?

[theelkspeaks]

Banlist is final, yes - rules said it wouldn't be changed after the three days remaining in signups mark.
