NOTE: Tournament prizes has changed! Electrums are outdated, you can collect fractions of a Nymph/Mark Code by placing 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Here is the Google Sheet where you can follow your progress.

Special Rules

• Upgraded cards are not allowed.
  
  
• Cards will be separated into two groups: Primes and Composites.
  
  
• If the card's cost is a prime number, it is a Prime card, and may be used freely.
  
  
• If the card's cost is a composite number, it is a Composite card. To include a composite card, you must have the corresponding Prime cards (see Compounds' table below). For example, if you wanted to include Miracle (15 ) in a deck, you would have to include a 3-cost and a 5-cost card in the deck as well.
  
  
• Each Prime card may only be used once to include a Composite card. So for example, if you have Antlion, Rage Potion, Maxwell's Demon, and Aflatoxin, you may not include Miracle since you would need another 3-cost.
  
  
• Copies of the same card are considered different, so including a second Rage Potion in the previous example would allow you to include Miracle together with Aflatoxin; and a second Aflatoxin cannot be included without another 2-cost and 3-cost card.
  
  
• With the exception of PPMs, 0-cost and 1-cost cards are banned.
  
  
• Discord, Shard of Gratitude, Fire Bolt, Phase Dragon, Black Dragon, Trident and Earthquake are banned.

Spoiler for Compounds' table:

Cost	Decomposition
4	2, 2
6	2, 3
8	2, 2, 2
9	3, 3
10	2, 5
12	2, 2, 3
14	2, 7
15	3, 5

Primes: Five 5, four 3, four 2.
Composites: One 6, one 9, two 10, one 15.
6 takes up 2, 3.
9 takes up 3, 3.
10 takes up 2, 5. (x2)
15 takes up 3, 5.
You would need three 2s, four 3s, and three 5s.
All the composites are satisfied, and the rest is primes and PPMs, so this deck is legal.

Primes: Eight 2, two 5.
Composites: Two 4, five 10.

4 takes up 2, 2. (x2)
10 takes up 2, 5. (x5)
You would need nine 2s and five 5s to satisfy the composites in the deck, so this deck is illegal.

For the purposes of this tournament, a deck checker tool was made in Google Sheets: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l8afmJYcoxh6koEbrtl9DyVd9teugF6BNfEtzHzBTsE/edit?usp=sharing

You can make a copy of it and check your decks there. If you find any bugs/oversights, notify the TOs immediately.


Tournament Organizer Note

If you think there is an overpowered card that ought to be banned, or you have some concerns about the tournament metagame, mechanics or other stuff, do NOT post it publicly in the comments or anywhere else on the Forums. Instead, send a private message to Tournament Organizers, who will privately discuss about it. Thanks for your cooperation.

[2020-08-02 14:15:14] ‹Naii_the_Baf› Coffee is 1, I am 2, Wyand is 3.
[2020-08-02 14:15:56] ‹Naii_the_Baf› I'll roll then
[2020-08-02 14:16:00] ‹Naii_the_Baf›
(1d3) 3 = 3
[2020-08-02 14:16:45] ‹Wyand› "If there are 3 players with the exact same won/lost games statistics then the TO assigns numbers to each tied contestants and rolls and 1d3 publicly. The roll will show the number of the player who is out of the competition. The remaining 2 players then may play a tiebreaker game OR ask the TO to roll an 1d2 and determine the winner the same way explained above."
[2020-08-02 14:17:14] ‹Naii_the_Baf› I asked coffee to show me his decks earlier. Playing a tiebreaker doesn't sound fair
[2020-08-02 14:17:40] ‹Coffeeditto› i made a new deck
[2020-08-02 14:17:48] ‹Coffeeditto› but i am okay witha 1d2 roll
[2020-08-02 14:19:10] ‹Naii_the_Baf› I agree on 1d2
[2020-08-02 14:19:41] ‹Coffeeditto› wyand
[2020-08-02 14:19:44] ‹Coffeeditto› you wanna roll 1d2

EDIT: I got confused. Standings corrected.

I originally had like 7 decks built, but only used four of them.

I wanted to start with something fun.
It's not fun to both get hard countered and faildraw. Nymphs fed off of my tears q.q

G2 Loss vs. Coffee
Aginst NT again. I started with Flayer, but Coffee played a squid before I could do anything. Fog and Adrenaline helped, but even with Coffee forgetting to freeze Flayer, it was too late to recover.
G2 Win vs. Wyand
I had a better quanta start. Drew the nuts with 3/4 Grabs in the first ten cards. Faced Grabbow.

0-2 vs Naii

0-1 Playing Trap twice isn't a good idea. Lost against a perfect Grabby BB hand. Tried everything, but PU came too late, and never had
enough quanta for a double BB, so both dolls got killed quickly.

0-2 You cannot win against a grabbow, where your opponent has 3 of 4 grabs in no time out, T2 Fog, T1 Flayer... Meanwhile I had 1 ppm
start, and no quanta for the arsenic, nightmare and forest spirit through the entire game... and got enough quanta for deflag way too late...
no CC and no BH either...

1-0 MonoFire vs Monofire, but I had Phoenixes while he had Spirits. RP'd them all. He had tons of quanta, FB was banned luckily. Got Deflag
to burn that pesky Fire Shield.

2-0 Now he started with 1 ppm... Meanwhile I started with 2 which is annoying, because I used only 4 ppms to have a more effective Shard Golem
deck. Nevertheless I was able to eke out a win: spirits' damage ramp up quickly won before getting outdamaged...
