TOURNAMENTS FAQ


Q: How many copies of each card in the list I can use in a deck?
A: Since it is not specified, up to 6.


Q: There's a mandatory number of special list cards I've to use in a deck?
A: Nope.


Q: What does it means: "Once you used a card from this list, you can't use it again for the rest of the tournament, even against the same opponent."???
A: It means that once you used a card, that card is gone and you cannot use it anymore, for the rest of the tournament.


Q: Why I've to post cards I've used, if I win a match?
A: This way we can track cards used, and every further match will become more difficult, since your opponent will know what cards you can still use (And vice versa, of course)

Having won similarly ruled tournament Origins, I would recommend having some sort of ruling that allows players that play an extra round to recover some of those cards for the finals.

Getting a first round bye has a huge impact on the cards still available to players in later rounds.  I believe Jen-i will agree that I had a large lead going into the finals just based on how many possible decks I could still create.

Hmm, maybe something like Rent-a-Deck's mechanic? When you win you take a card from your opponent (if you don't already have it).

[SpikeSpiegel]

My fault, I forgot a rule, something has been lost in copy/paste...

SPECIAL RULES EDITED:

- Players that will receive a bye in the first round have to choose 6 cards to discard.

[RootRanger]

That's an improvement, but it's not difficult to find 6 cards on the list that have almost no value whatsoever.

How about 12 cards? Even at that point, I'd have a preference towards receiving a bye.

Or, alternatively, players re-gain cards they used in Round 1 at the start of Round 2.

[SpikeSpiegel]

12 cards would be too many. We're going to discuss it, in case of modify we'll tell ya. Thanks for feedback.

Wow, an unupped tourney that allows unlimited shards? That's unusual.

"Non pillars/non pendulums cards allowed are only those in the special list."

There are no shards in the special list.

Ohhh, I think I misread that part then.

What happens if you run out of usable cards by the finals?

You still have cards to use. Pillars, pendulums and mark cards. But most likely you will lose.
