I understood the rules until I saw the example deck. I'll need some clarification here. There are nine Aether cards (non-pillar, pend, mark) and three Time cards with only 2 Darkness cards. Did you mistake SoW for Pends? Did you switch the order of Time and Darkness? Did you confuse legal with illegal? ![Silly Spin :sillyspin:](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/sillyspin.gif)
For another minor thing, are you allowed to use 4 cards for each adjacent element? I take it that yes. I'd like unambiguous phrasing for Germans and non-natives, please.
Well, according to the phrasing and the example deck, there is a mark of
![Aether :aether](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/aether18x18.png)
(that means up to 6 copies of a card for
![Aether :aether](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/aether18x18.png)
, up to 4 copies of a card for
![Darkness :darkness](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/darkness18x18.png)
&
![Entropy :entropy](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/entropy18x18.png)
and up to 2 copies of a card for
![Death :death](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/death18x18.png)
&
![Time :time](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/time18x18.png)
), so there are 6 copies of Turquoise Nymph and 4 copies of SoW (4 is below 6 so it is legal), there are 3 Novas (3 is below 4 so it is legal), 1 virus (1 is below 2 so it is legal), 2 vampire stilletos (2 is below 4 so it is legal), 1 SoR and 1 Anubis and 1 Golden Nymph (1 is below 2 so all three of these are legal) and Marks & Pends don't count. So, here you are...
