i can't use cards from"OTHER" ?Cards from Other are banned for this tournament.
Is Malignant Cell from Aflotoxin allowed?Yes, you may use Aflatoxin to generate Malignant Cells.
How about zero costing card (nova, immo)?Zero is an even number. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_zero)

to be sure, mark is not counted as number of elements in deck, isnt it? so if i take mark of time for a mono earth deck, its still one element... so ive to choose cards with even cost?!Standalone mark cards are not allowed.

No minimum number of cards per element? While building decks I find it extremely easy to manipulate the number of elements towards an odd number by splashing in a single Nova, a Nova my opponent may never get to see (making her/him suspect I have an illegal deck).I agree. I think a minum of 6 cards per element would be a good idea.
I don't get why marks cards are bannedStatistics have shown that players with mark cards have a significantly higher win percentage. These cards need to be banned everywhere!
Post by: Higurashi on May 03, 2012, 12:54:27 pm
Griping about mark cards being banned is completely useless since it's extremely rare in tourneys.
Post by: glennfoo on May 03, 2012, 01:25:08 pm
First question:
Since Other cards are not allowed, we can be sure quantum pillars are not allowed right??
Second question:
Let say I put my mark as time, then I place all earth creatures( just example ) , am i considered using 2 elements or 1 element??
Third question:
As stated by TORB, I have these concern about pendulums as well. let say i play duo elements, maybe dark and death, but i wan to play even cost cards, so I put one fire pendulum in my deck. can i be consider using trios and thus be able to play even cost cards??
( this happens in one tourny a few weeks back where we have to play the number of cards based on the number of elements. accidentally cause a drama due to pendulum misunderstanding. it is my first tourny at that time)
Please clarify them

Right. Hence the new rule.

Like, say, have 30 water pillars and an aether mark?
Post by: Jocko on May 04, 2012, 12:05:22 am
Does having only one type of element for my cards, and a different mark, count as a mono or two-element?That usually counts as a mono. I suppose this should work the same way.

If you use novas, since they're free to play, your deck must have an odd number of elements, that's correct. Do notice that it says 6 cards minimum per element, not 6 cards of each card. (you could use one nova, 2 aboms, 1 am and 3 discords)
I was just making sure six cards of Nova or Immolation count as their element. So you can turn a duo into a trio by adding six novas or six Immolation. Thus making an otherwise odd deck even.
Post by: Selinea on May 04, 2012, 09:20:06 pm
But you can't have novas in an even deck because nova, at zero, is an even number. You can only use novas/immolations to turn an even deck odd.If you use novas, since they're free to play, your deck must have an odd number of elements, that's correct.

If it wasnt at 5 I would be in. At least other countries get a shot though.I'm gonna try to get up at 5AM anyway, let's see how well that'll work out for me... XD

Yup that's exactly what I meant by duo into trio.

if for example i use a death life deck with gravity mark it will count as an element too or it will be a 2 elements deck?
as two elements... its asked some times before already :-)

Decks i used:
I played this deck in all the matches i did this tourney and it never lost. Long live mono darkness!
This only lost once.
This i used against kakerlake on my 3rd match. Didn't draw any squids half into the deck and when i did, he bolted it. I believe i could win that with a fair rng.
These decks, i made but never used
