Q&A:

Q: Why don't you ban Fate Egg/Fallen Elf/Firefly Queen? They can generate/transforming into cards that matches the Pendulum's element or generate quanta generators.
A: They only work indirectly. It was not intended to limit the meta too much.

Q: Why do you ban NT/NQ?
A: NT/NQ directly generates creatures that uses the quanta matching the Pendulum's element. This tournament is avoiding that.

So, looks like abilities will matter a lot here, I hope I'll make it in time.

A question: so theoretically we have to run mono decks? (without having dead cards)

Shouldn't these cards be banned as well?

[treebeard xiii]

With Earthquake ban should Trident not also be banned?

[serprex]

As much as it'd be neat to use Mindgate (& likely unviable), it should be banned since it's an alternative quanta generator

Also Dry Spell

[Imgodzila12]

so no pillars? im so confused

You use pendulums.

[Vineroz]

Dry Spell and Trident are now banned.

[Chapuz]

Considering that mutation and fate egg can't be alternative quanta source, the only way to do it is by FFQ. I think FFQ ruins the idea of the tourney and should be banned too.

[Zso_Zso]

There was similar discussion in previous tourneys too, I think Vine means to allow FFQ, mutation, fate-egg, etc. --  things that do not directly act as quanta source, but have a way to indirectly generate another creature which does.

Then why would Tears and Queen be banned?

Those are more of standard bans than those that go against this tourney.
