Does

Minimum number of cards per type

mean Minimum number of cards per element?

Ahhh Spaceballs, one of Mel Brook's finer moments.

A tournament with no heal stalls eh? I kinda like the sound of that... should go quite quickly.

Hmm... 7am for me... Will probably need caffeine to wake up in time. Although that seems rather fitting.


On a more rulesy type of note, shouldn't you also ban mutation and fallen druid / elf... afterall, they could spawn a creature with vampire or AM on it (which is why I'm assuming you banned RT and Eternity)

Mutants cannot have vampirism or antimatter

Hatch results in another mutant

[Submachine]

I'll just assume that type means element then.

True, but they can take the form of a lesser vampire which could then be copied via fractal.
I'll admit its a stretch, but it could happen.

Mark cards count as a card of their element.

I suppose this doesn't apply to your starting mark or does it?

[Regyptic]

Does Chaos Power need to be banned? I can understand banning Chaos Seed but the upgraded isn't going to heal you in any way.

I'll admit its a stretch, but it could happen.

Mutants can also have mitosis as an ability, which could spawn creatures with vampirism or healing abilities (since mitosis mutants produce regular creatures).

I think antimatter is one of the debuffs that can get applied by chaos seed... that would result in healing, which is banned

Chaos seed can't cause antimatter, but it can cause drain life which is the ban. But I see regyptic's point that banning Chaos power is unnecessary.
