Deepest apologies for the extremely late tournament, folks.

The undecided: Equal amount of pillars and pendulums

Do mark cards count as pillars or just an extra quantum source?

Note to self for opposing duo's:
gravity+entropy
earth+air
death+life
time+aether
light+darkness
fire+water

"The baby got back: All creatures with 5+ hp. Gravity shield banned."

Does this mean 5 < HP or 5 ≤ HP ?

I wont be there unfortunatly.

"The baby got back: All creatures with 5+ hp. Gravity shield banned."

This means any creature with 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 hitpoints is banned as a creature card in your deck.
It means that purple dragon is allowed, but forest spirit is banned.
Weapon are still allowed even if you animate them and have less hp then 5, as its not a creature card when you build the deck.
Nymphs tears is also allowed for the same reason, even when it animates a purple nymph with 1 hitpoint.

Thx, that was the relevant part for me. People use/interpret "X+" in different ways, that's why I asked about it.

Btw, what about Shard of Integrity? Is it fully usable regardless of the hp of the created golem? The same applies to Chimera?

I only played 1 tournament, so I am not too familiar... does it start on the clock or 15 minutes before? I mean the 1-11 dice roll.

Thank you for the info. I got confused b/c it said we only have 15 min to build the deck.

Ggs. He didn't get in the second game but he said for me to take the win. (I won on my side against his ai for whatever that's worth.)

I used this three times against Wyand because it was the only deck I managed to build before the speedbuilding was done. I used this deck again against Manuel the second game where he didn't get in and told me to take the win against his ai. The discord is indeed magic like you, Wyand, said in our thrid because it was in my starting hand every game all tournament (four games).

After I beat Wyand I had time to build two more decks.

This didn't a good enough starting hand to beat Odii's earth entropy nymph tear deck. I think it's a bit short on quantum all around but the cards needed to be there. I choose using parallel universe as my third element because I thought it needed more damage and didn't have any better ideas at the time other than maybe reverse time.

This of course failed when I used it in my second game with Odii against his adrenastaves but the idea is good. I used it again first game against Manuel in the match for third where it beat a UG firebolt deck.
