Q: How do I calculate the number of non-allowed cards I can add?
A: Count the number of allowed cards that are not Pillars/Pendulums that are in your deck. For every 6 cards, you get 1 copy of any non-allowed card.

Examples:

6 Flooding + 3 Precognition + 2 Solar Shield + 1 Short Bow = 12 cards --> 2 non-allowed cards allowed
Non-allowed cards don't all have to be different, or all the same. If you had 18 allowed non-Pillar/Pendulum cards, you could take 3 of non-allowed card A, or 2 of non-allowed card A + 1 of non-allowed card B, or 1 each of non-allowed cards A, B, and C.

Spoiler for Simple table:

Number of allowed non-Pillar/Pendulum cards	Maximum number of non-allowed cards
0-5	0
6-11	1
12-17	2
18-23	3
24-29	4
30-35	5
36-41	6
42-47	7
48-53	8
54-59	9
60	10

Don't need to sign-up anymore. Just show up in the tourney room and you'll be put in.

EDIT: This was in reply to a post that was deleted. Do what you will.

Squid, cloak, precog, silence, and UG are underused cards?

[ddevans96]

Squid, cloak, precog, silence, and UG are underused cards?

Because some players underestimate the value of these cards. A vast majority of players never even visit the forums.

[pikachufan2164]

Squid, cloak, precog, silence, and UG are underused cards?

They're in the 20 least-used unupped non-Nymph, non-Shard cards.

[justaburd]

I can't quite believe that squid is underused.
That said, why do I see a lot of earth decks in this tourney? *hint hint*

[Absol]

Squid is expensive, but is a powerhouse this tourney.
Oh well, if i'm awake, i'll play. Probably.
