I can't participate this time. Good luck for all!

[Chapuz]

Such cool rules. I wish I can participate! *starts making a couple of decks*

[Acsabi44]

why the NT ban? It doesnt make a quanta producing effect

[2014-01-17 04:03:42] Captain_Scibra: I don't quite understand the reasoning behind NT being banned.
[2014-01-17 04:03:59] Dm1321: NT can generate Light Nymph and Light Nymph can generate light quanta producing creatures
[2014-01-17 04:04:02] Dm1321: Is the reasoning I see.
[2014-01-17 04:05:26] Dm1321: I'm no TO so don't trust it.
[2014-01-17 04:06:35] n00b: And Dm is right. Light Nymphs produce light-producing creatures which is a nino

From chat.

Use Fate Eggs --> Hope for a Light Nymph.
Use Mutation --> Hope for a devourer with steal.

[Kakerlake]

Mutation should be banned as well then.
Gnome Rider with Mitosis? Yay, totally worth it! ... Devourer is more awesome though =)

Also Skelletons should be banned, as they can become Devourers as well.
And with that, Skullshield and Graveyard.

Also, ban Mindgate, as it might be able to produce Pends of your Mark.

Is having a duo with 3 quanta types -the mark being different than either of the elements  of the cards used- allowed?

(sry for spoiling this totally uber awesome deck)

no upped or shards? check.
is duo? check.
no other possible quanta producers than pend (excluding basic mark)? check.
mark different than pend? check.

must be legal then.

[Odii Odsen]

Mindlfyer and Anubis should be banned I see. Deck too OP.

[SpikeSpiegel]

There's a card limit to be considered duo? A 30 cards deck with 29 element A cards and 1 element card B would be legal?
