FAQ:

Q: Buying cost or selling cost?
A: Buying cost.

Q: How do we calculate our deck cost?
A: Use Xeno's Cost Calculator to help you. Note that it may not be 100% accurate, and the player holds final responsibility for ensuring their decks conform to the rules.

Nitpick: In this case the 2nd rule (deck cost under 1000 ) already eliminates the possibility of upgraded cards (cost >1500 ), so that part is redundant in the first rule.

[Submachine]

Theoretical rare prices count too?

[andretimpa]

You ninja'd me to that question, Sub

The calculator is returning an error, for a standard deck (not designed for this tourney, just a standard deck I use otherwise that I wanted to test the calculator with) like 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61q 61q 61q 61q 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61u 61v 61v 61v 61v 61v 61v 8pu


How much cost is a rare weapon equal to?

EDIT: Lowered the value to 800 .
Yes, I agree, but the rule is here to eliminate any kind of confusion that may be caused.

No error here, try again maybe?

Theoretical rare prices count too?

Yes, use that value.

Another edit: Nymph's Tears is now banned.(Thanks serprex)

CuCN pointed out that the calculator fails for Thunderstorm, Graviton Mercenary, Salvagers, Dry Spell

Are Salvagers and Dry Spell therefore free according to this tourney?

I would suppose one can go in to the bazaar and find the price of such non-rares to add to their deck's cost.  Nothing in the RULES states the calculator to be final-say on legality of decks.

[Higurashi]

The tool is only for helping the player. The player still holds ultimate responsibility for their deck conforming to rules.

Thunderstorm: 27
Gravy Merc: 27
Gravy Salvager: 25
Phase Salvager: 25
Dry Spell: 26

Math ain't that hard.

[Terran 3]

Pillars are included in the cost, right?
