FAQ

Q: Dood, so and so is totally not an odd pairing.
A: It's not common either. The pairings are not designed to be the most odd, but rather balance the elements out.

Q: What's a duo? What's a pairing? How do I touch my nose without falling over?
A: *sigh* Read the forums once in a while, will ya? A duo is a deck that consists of two different elements. "Other" cards do not count towards an element. The pairings denote what elements your duos have to be made from.

Q: But dood, Discord bla bla duo environment bla bla.
A: Quanta denial is versatile because it works on both stalls and rushes. It's not overpowered, and also less effective in the upped environment. Adapt.

Q: Can I have more than 40% of one element?
A: Obviously. As long as you have at least 40% from one element, you're fine.

Q: can I have any mark? ex. if I play Darkness and Air, can I have an earth mark (so I can borrow my Pest)
A:

If it's not forbidden, it's allowed. Simple, eh?

But, Dood!  How do I touch my nose without falling over?!?

[Ryli]

It's just occured to me that I don't have a duo deck for ANY of these pairings. There's something to work on

Can I ask what reasoning there is behind this theme?

[BC]

I like this. Barring unforseen circumstances, I'll be participating.

Can I ask what reasoning there is behind this theme?

Most of the time, we try to make deck-building a challenge. We've run a little dry on challenging concepts that are also simple, but this one fits both bills.

[TheIdioticIdiot]

ok, after playing around a bit, I find discord OP in this tournament...
can we have that banned?
