PS. What about devourer?

Also, what do you exactly mean by "Your deck must use cards from exactly three different elements (defined as five or more cards of each element)."

Does it mean I can use for example 5 copies of Purple Dragon, 5 copies of Emerald Dragon and 5 copies of Spark?

No, I believe it means that you cant use less than 5 purple dragos on a trio that includes entropy, if purple dragon is the only entropy card on that deck.

It is. As is a deck with 10 light and 10 water pends with 5 shockwave and 5 TStorm.

Request for a rule: each card in the deck must be playable.
This gets rid of the chance that people might go duos with 5 dead cards

[Submachine]

Nah, duos with 5 dead cards are fine. Dead cards decrease effectiveness, especially in a 30-card deck. Though even your rule can be tricked by instead of using dead cards, packing off-element pendulums.

Does not really make much of a difference. One can always throw in 5 photon or 5 spark and the rest is a duo-deck.
