And completely inconsequential. Go ahead and do that if you wish. Most already know duos complement each other and become better for it.

Nah I will play along, i'm working on some good duo decks at the moment =)
By the way as it's my first tournament, if i only got an upped version of some card, if i put it in my deck will it be turned as an unupped version as in PvP 1?

The forum definition of mono decks changed at one point in history and this seems to be a source of confusion.  The current definition is "Cards from only one element and "Other"."  Mark is irrelevant.

The definition is not

• decks that use only one type of quanta
• decks that use only cards that match the mark, where no "other" cards are allowed.
• decks that use one air card and 59 aether cards

Animate Weapon is an Air card, Nova is an Entropy card, Photon is a Light card, and Spark is an Aether card.  If you have a mono-fire deck that uses any of these, it's not a mono-fire deck.  Please put your thread in the Duo- Trio- and Quartet-decks forum (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,3.0.html).

This was posted by kevkev in the mono deck section of the forum and I thought it may help those who could be confused by just what constitutes a mono/duo/trio/etc. 

Examples:

  and  cards with a  mark = duo
  cards with 0 cost Photon ( card) and  mark= duo
  cards with an mark =  mono (and thus not allowed for the purposes of this tournament
0 cost Photon ( card), 0 cost Spark ( card),  cards,  cards and    mark = quartet (and thus not allowed for the purposes of this tournament)

No. Cards work normally in PvP Duel.

No, it's still upped. And if you use upped, you're out. Sorry. But don't forget that 3/4 tournaments are un-upped = The last one is upped. Feel the pleasure of upped cards. Or something.

First you read the rules. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6997.0.html
Then you know everything.
Then you get the women.

Or the man.

29 cards of one element with 1 card in the other element also count as duo......

That's sad

yes. The first deck I thought of, was altually 29 card from one element (with abilities from the other) and 1 card from the other.
But of course I will look for other decks (I haven't tested it yet)

I'd like to note that a few cards that have 0 cost (thanks MXXE for revealing mah confuzzlion) are from an element. Go by color.

Examples :

Photon -
Spark -

Are you trying to confuse?

A few cards that have 0 cost are colored/belonging to an element

[Higurashi]

Yes, he's very good at confuzzling.

[Dm]

I'm pro at that.

Typo fixed.

Why we play in Tournaments with unupgraded cards? In 80% Tours we can't use upped cards, I don't understand this...

[Higurashi]

Very easy to understand. So most people will be able to participate. It's 75%, btw.
