Q: Doesn't adrenaline on creatures with 12/15 attack break the theme?
A: Yes, but it's merely a thematic loophole, the decks using that are hardly overpowered in this setting. Not worth banning such nice synergy with 3 attack creatures.

[TheCrazyMango]

why is hope banned? or maybe i just didnt see it on the allowed cards list

[jippy99]

Because it can block certain amounts of damage, making creatures attack in numbers that aren't multiples of three.

Nice to see the theme of the Tourny come out sooner then usual... As for the Tourny itself seems like it'll be dominated by Fire Stalls imo.

[Onizuka]

Firesheild deals one damage : o

[TheonlyrealBeef]

Firesheild deals one damage : o

Not to the player :P

Adding the 3 multiple to creatures as well removes a lot of CC (while Adrenaline needs a bunch of counters ).

Can't use bolts as both CC and damage though

[RootRanger]

Firesheild deals one damage : o

Apparently creatures don't count, because cards like Toadfish and Thunderstorm are allowed.

Well, at least the TOs left us with a couple counters. But yeah, Fire Stall is going to centralize the game a lot more than usual.

[TheonlyrealBeef]

Just remembered the poison from the scorpions won't always exactly be a multiple of three, so... Dune Scorpion and Deathstalker moved to banned list.

And aflatoxin was banned for a reason, the same reason Grey Nymph gets moved to banned :P

[Sevs]

crimson dragon has 12 attack. so if it had adrenaline, wouldn't it deal 12 then 4? which isn't a multiple of 3

6 attack creatures are fine because the total damage is still a multiple of 3. 6+4+2=12

EDIT* and if we really wanted to get into technicalities. bonewall, thorn carapace, fire shield, fog, procrastination have a chance against an adrenalined 6 attack creature to not deal a multiple of 3.

[CCCombobreaker]

wheee firebolt and sanctuary!

First - I our TO's for posting this early - allowing us to deck build during the week - or at least consider the meta
Second - I love the tourney concept - it makes for a new and interesting meta game

Third - with only 16 different cards around which to base the damage engine of a deck I don't think we'll see an awful lot of variety in decks.

Lastly - don't worry about firestall - it will only deform the meta game if you let it
