Rule list:
The thrifty: Eight or less pillars, pendulums and marks combined
The odd: No cards that cost 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 quantum
The cursed: Only Death, Dark, Life and Light cards are allowed, except pillars/pendulums

Other cards and zero-cost cards are allowed.

In case the ruleset turns out to be extremely limiting, all the rules will be re-shuffled.
Elements of pillars, pendulums and other cards does not count into a deck (so Life Pendulums won't make a monofire deck a duo deck).

Q: Why are you doing Potluck Rules again?
A: For multiple reasons.
Q: For example... ?
A: I only share one reason: This tournament will be held at a time when people are less active. In case we won't get much participation, this time will be deleted from the rotation.

See the same spot in the previous tournament too.

[Espithel]

Colourful + mono/duo/trio/quartet/rainbow, in its strictest sense, conflict.

Does the colourful allow pendulum use, too?

I already pointed this out in the second post: Pillars, pendulums and other cards does not count into a duo or a higher deck.

edit: further clarification and rewording added.
