FAQ:

Q: Airborne?
A: Yes.

Q: Why did you ban Nymph's Tears and Boneyard?
A: All the creatures it generates are non-Airborne.

Q: Are QP allowed? If yes, if i use QPs, do i have to use 3 :other non-zero cost cards?
A: Yes, Quantum Pillar is allowed. If you do use Quantum Pillar, you don't need to use 3 non-zero cost cards from Other. Note that Other is not really an element.

Q: Can I use a mark that is not in the lineup, without using any cards of that mark?
A: Yes.

Q: Do cards of an element that cost other quanta count in non-zero cast cards?
A: Yes.

Q: Are standalone marks allowed?
A: Yes. They count as a zero cost card from the element it represents. For example, Mark of Aether is an Aether card.

I do this for myself more than any of you, 'cus it's easier to look at/peruse than the wiki list.

Also, this looks more interesting than the last couple.

Airborne? Time for SoFr-Oh wait no.

[McSod]

Standalone marks okay, or do they have to line up as though it were 'in the deck'?

[furballdn]

What's to stop a FFQ deck with 3 freezes stuck in as dead cards? Also, dim shield not banned. Intentional? All I see coming from that is lots of fire/darkness (both elements already have plenty of airborne creatures)

[Absol]

Rainbow is OK?

[furballdn]

Rainbow is OK?

Rainbow airborne deck?

[McSod]

What's to stop a FFQ deck with 3 freezes stuck in as dead cards?

I imagine dead cards would make it less efficient enough to deter that?

Rainbow is OK?

Seems like it'd be cool s'long as you could fit it all:

Decks must have at least 3 non-zero quanta cost cards from each element used. (Clarification: ability costs are not factored into this. Only the casting cost element matters.)
The elements used in the deck must be next to each other in the Oracle's element wheel.
