Q: Why is this one posted so early?
A: Because we're special.

Why is mutation banned? By the same logic you should ban Pande and Chaos seed since they could potentially drain life. And Fate Egg? By the same logic, you have to ban eternity, reverse time, skeleton, and even skull shield :3

EDIT: Never mind on fate egg, didn't see it was a specific ban

Mutation/Elf are banned because they are able to create a creature which can use the ability 'Heal' (which is why angel is banned).
Fate Egg is banned because it is able to 'hatch' into a banned creature.

EDIT: After a discussion between Vineroz and myself, we have concluded that Angel, Mutation, and Fallen Elf do not need to be banned. However, Eternity, Reverse Time, Chaos Seed, and Pandemonium are added to the ban list.

[bogtro]

Pandemonium and Chaos seed should also be banned then. Also, if fate egg is banned for a non-specific reason (falls under the blanket of healing possibility), then the set of {RT, Skeleton, Skull Shield, Eternity} should also be banned under the same logic if we're being thorough.

Yay nitpicks D=

[whatifidogetcaught?]

If I can I am in. I kinda figured that the tournament would disallow healing and shields based on the name. I was half right =p

[ARTHANASIOS]

I fail to see how a Skull Shield "heals" by any means...

[Dragoon]

Skull Shields can create Skeletons which can be RT'd to create a banned creature. So it's like a 3-card combo Fate Egg. : P

still accurate? Or is there more changes?

That's why it is not banned.

Just for clarification. When you say Marks count as cards of their element, does that mean I can have Mark of Aether, and 7 Aether cards in a 30 card deck, and meet the 8 card minimum requirement?

No, no. There are individual Mark of XXX cards that can be obtained through winning Tournaments or Leagues.  The mark in the topright corner does not count for anything in this tourney.

Oh, that makes more sense, thanks!
