Eastern Tournament - October 29th - Fright Night - Upgraded

[Rastafla]

Everyone still can, using upped is an option not a requirement. From looking at the war and looking at the poll i did the people that use the forum have plenty enough of upgrades.

[Higurashi]

Yep, it should be upgraded. Now it is.

Ooh, I like the upped ones; more possibilities for deckbuilding   This tournament looks like a lot of fun; there's a lot of possibilities, and there aren't any obvious dominant decks sticking out to me right away, at least, like there are for some other tournaments.

....Time to build new decks

I had it unupgraded for a reason.  People still can join the upped tourney, but they will be much less competitive.  But whatever, I guess we will keep it.

[teffy]

I asked myself, what the free cards are. I hope, this list is right. I think it would be good, to add that to the OP.

Code: [Select]

52i 52q 534 55l 55p 55s 55t 55u 55v 568 5f4 5f5 5f7 5f8 5fk 5rh 5ri 5rj 5rk 5rl 5ro 5rp 5rq 5rr 5s4 5v8Edit: Looks like I understood the rules in a wrong way: If you decided to take cards from one class, you can still use  cards from other classes.

Would this deck be legal? (I'm probably not using it, just confused)

No, even though that deck uses all death cards, it doesn't contain at least 50% from any one of the 4 class groups.  Here is an example of a (completely useless, so as not to give idea spoilers early) legal deck:

The deck has 15 cards (50%) from the "Monsters and Critters" class, 5 ice dragons, 5 devonian dragons, and 5 elite otyughs.  The rest of the cards are all from death, darkness, gravity, fire, or time, or are pillars/pendulums of any type.

Damnit. I had the perfect deck to use in this tourney- but the tourney got changed to upped!

But I guess it's not fair if people with upped cards never get to use them.

[21:37] <Gumbeh> I should make some decks!
[21:39] <Gumbeh> oh crap, it's an upped tourney now...

• So even if I use only legal cards, I still have to make sure 50% of them are from a "theme", then check my quanta usage again, then run a test, then try to analyze whether the changes have turned it into a subpar deck, then revise, then go back to step A.
• Any given deck I field is only going to be 40-60% upgraded. So I can beat newbies and other half-upped players, but people with fully upped towers will play their cards one turn faster than I can.
• It sounded like an interesting tourney with mildly headache-inducing deckbuilding rules, up until the bit about upgraded cards being added to the rules. Now it's a full headache as I balance making a good deck, making a legal deck, and upgrading a few cards I'm missing upped versions of with the I currently have.

Sounds like my time is better spent playing LoL this time around.   Thanks for tryin, jippy!
