I agree with the decision but i should point out that other weaknesses mention "you may use up to 6 copies of a card (gaurdian angel, rage potion, nymph tears)" which actually means the arbitrary version of may while some mean "must". it would follow previous claims that it since it is a weakness, take the meaning that implies a greater disadvantage.

On another note, most of the things posted in the event rules usually aren't important. Falling empire For example had 9 pages of rules with replies happening all of the time. I didn't necessarily follow every single comment. Maybe it should be advised in future events to have a question topic and an official rules page(questions would be replied to here), so important updates are not lost in clutter.

It's true that may and must were a bit confused in the initial ruling (and you can blame my bad english for that), but that is exactly why we got over 9000 questions about that issue and decided to make a clarification post although the event already started. What you suggest (question thread and rules thread) is probably a very good idea and I think it should be implemented.

I'm sorry about this problem, but with rules this complex it was somehow inevitable that some things would slip. We tried the best we could to avoid that and so far managed to do so quite well in my opinion (I had more problems with Falling Empire, all considered). However, if you feel the rules are not clear enough or you are uncertain as to why something was written in a certain way, feel free to ask (here or through PM). Ask and you shall receive all the clarifications you need.

I hope the rest of this event runs more smoothly. Good luck to the rest of the partecipants and to everyone in the bettings!

The Final Arena is in the Rules, below all other arenas.
