Note: For now, please send your deck to Vineroz. Remember, you can only send in 1 deck, so please make sure you are sending the right deck.


Q&A:
Q: Can I change the deck's mark?
A: No. You must use the mark provided by the skeleton-deck.

Q: In every game I can choose one of 12 Decks, or I have to play all games with the same deck?
A: You can change deck as main rules states.

• Until 15 minutes before tournament starts

I can't fully understand this.
So if the point in the future, when there will be only 15 minutes to tournament start, is called point A, then are we supposed to send our smeleton decks before or after point A on a linear timeline?

[Jen-i]

You may send your decklist in at any point up until point A - after which submissions won't be accepted because the deck lists will have been chosen and posted.

From a logistics stand point - it would make better sense to make that 30 minutes before the tourney start to allow the TO's at least those 15 minutes to look at and select decks.

However - not knowing which TO to send the deck to - am I supposed to send it to all of you?

[Zso_Zso]

So I can send in a skeleton deck even if I do not intend to participate ?

* Opens the floodgate of trolls...

[Submachine]

You may send your decklist -snip-

Ah, now I understand it much better. Also I don't think we are allowed to send a decklist, because any forum user can send 0 or 1 deck. (at most is the opposite of at least)

6 of a card that doesn't appear in the skeleton-deck

So you mean 6 copies of 1 card, right? Just to be perfectly clear.

OMG!
I tought that rules for Tournaments will be more simple in future...
With lack of participants in past,do you think that new players will join?
I dont want even to bother with resolving this ,,Puzzle-Rules,,.
I just want to play the game,not to solve riddles.
So,this time im out.Sorry.
Best luck to all the others.

I can simplify the rules for you.
Be here 15 minutes before tournament starts, choose a deck and complete it with 6 cards. That's all.

Just leave the puzzle part and deckposting to the others.

It took me about seven tries of reading the rules to figure it out, but I finally got it :p

1) Everyone sends a bunch of 24 card rareless decks to the TOs.
2) The TOs pick 12 of these 24 card rareless decks and post them 15 minutes in advance, speedbuilding style.
3) Everyone must use one of these 24 card decks, and add 6 more cards to it that are not any of the first 24

A few questions:

A) Did I get it right above? :p
B) By 'no rares allowed in skeletons' I am going to assume nymphs (and marks) are included in 'rares'. (or should be banned from skeletons, anyway)  Can we use nymphs/marks as some of the 6 additional nonskeleton cards?  i.e. if a skeleton is 24 life pillars, can I use 6 purple nymphs or 6 marks of gravity as cards 25-30?
C) Can you change which skeleton deck you use from match to match?  i.e. if one skeleton is 24 water pillars and another is 24 fire pillars, can I use the first in game 1 and the second in game 2?

A) 1) no, anyone may put 1* deck


As for me, its 8am start time where I live, so I need to see if I can make that time.

Even though his wording was perfectly clear, you can infer what he meant.

This tourney looks like fun. I might be there. I might not. As usual
It's at 5AM, so it would depend on whether or not I'm willing to stay up all night.

[Vineroz]

Submission deadline is now 30 minutes before tournament starts.

You don't have to build any decks to play in this tournament, just use decks from others + 1 card x6 of your choice! Must be one of the laziest tournament, this one.

Dragons is mostly right, except that "a bunch of skeletons" part, which xyan has already pointed out.

Let's hope dd have time to put these into Q&A, handling quotes on iPad is simply too much :v
