Q&A:

Q: Why not ban Mutation, Alfatoxin & Boneyard? they create non-air and non-earth creatures.
A: There are extra conditions that makes those creatures. We are only banning non-air and non-earth creatures that can be played directly from hand.

[ARTHANASIOS]

Mutation, Alfatoxin & Boneyard must be banned; they create non and non creatures.

[Vineroz]

Mutation, Alfatoxin & Boneyard must be banned; they create non and non creatures.

Creature creation/transformation is in a different category from Creature played directly from hand.

[Drake_XIV]

But doesn't it fall in the category as Nymph Tears then?

[S2xaT5No]

Aren't shields allowed? They aren't in the list.

"All healing cards and shields are banned."

[Higurashi]

But doesn't it fall in the category as Nymph Tears then?

Yes, NT is separately banned to preserve the thematic strategies available.

Hmm... doubt I can make a time this late on a Saturday, but if I can, I'll be there.  Conveniently, one of the decks that comes to mind first to use here is one I also want to test out for league.  There's only a few that come to mind immediately with such a small meta, but there's probably a couple more that'll come with a bit more thinking.

[Submachine]

Is healing permitted if I get it from the allowed cards? e.g. i mutate a creature into a light nymph with mitosis, and then the mitosis'd nymph uses luciferin, or is that auto-ban?

[neuroleptics]

all pillars and pend allowed including quantum tower pillar?

Yes. Only cards that heal by default are banned.

all pillars and pend allowed including quantum tower?

Yes. All pillars and pendulums are always allowed, unless the rules state otherwise.
