FAQ

Q: What are the opposing elements?
A: They're visible when you start a new game. Also in the Trainer: http://elementsthegame.com/trainer
They are: [Earth & Air], [Fire & Water], [Light & Darkness], [Entropy & Gravity], [Time & Aether] and [Life & Death].
So if you want to make a deck with Aether cards, you have to include at least 12 Time cards in it and vice versa. No other elements can mix except the opposites and decks may only be duos.

No ban list? Cough Cough Discord?

[Ilias22]

I will be there for my first turnament 

[whatifidogetcaught?]

Hm. No BH/Discord. Now it really takes skill to make a  duo.

[PlayerOa]

Good that Dimshield and Disco gets banned. Ghostal and DBH would be way too strong.

[ARTHANASIOS]

A few questions:
1} Are Other cards allowed (Quantum Pillars, Short Bow etc.)?
2} Can we use a mark outside the opposing elements (like an / deck with a mark)?

[Higurashi]

If something isn't stated otherwise, you can be sure it's allowed.

[ARTHANASIOS]

If something isn't stated otherwise, you can be sure it's allowed.

Your answer was simple but truly helpful. Thanks Higurashi! Time to design a few nasty decks (though I am not sure if I will join this tourny)!

[whatifidogetcaught?]

IF you used "Other" Cards (Dagger, etc.) would you have to say 10 of them if you had 10 of each cards in a duo?

[Spielkind]

"Other" cards are not allowed, as long it has no opposite...

"Decks may only contain cards from opposing elements."

[Vangelios]

Greetings Higurashi, I think cool the idea of opposites (also of banned dim), but how to know if our opponent is really using a minimum of 40%?, criterion of confidence?, I know that most are honest but someone may appear a opportunist , or even someone who did not understand the rules.
