is Eclipse considered a buff?

is Eclipse considered a buff?

Usually there is a FAQ in the Eastern thread, but I'll copy it here for you.

FAQ

Q: What are all the buffs?
A: Shard of Readiness, Chaos Power, Butterfly Effect, Momentum, Acceleration, Heavy Armor, Adrenaline, Mitosis, Blessing, Rage Potion, Basilisk Blood, Liquid Shadow, Luciferine and Quintessence.

Q: Mutation is kind of a buff, isn't it?
A: Maybe, but we've had a lot of Mutation tourneys already. Plus, it can ruin buffed creatures.

Q: Why is Parallel Universe banned?
A: The deck-building challenge is about using buffs. Allowing PU/TU makes for a counter deck just like the other banned spells.

[Sevs]

I saw that i just replied to the wrong thread. (I looked at the other in case an answer was there). May I ask why it isn't considered a buff?

[Higurashi]

It's sort of a global buff, but we're focusing on the spells. Eclipse itself doesn't add the same kind of strategy the spells do.

Good enough. thank you

Gah! If only I wasn't busy on Saturday! I had my whole strategy planned out, too...

Oh well. There's always next week!

6 buff spells as in 6 Blessings or as in Chaos Power+Momentum+Rage Pot+Blessing+Plate Armor+... whatever's next?

You must have a total of 6 buff spells. so either "6 of one kind" "1 of each" or "3 of one and 3 of another".

does my darkness nymph count as a buff card because of its ability, or can we only use the spells?

You can use it in your deck, but it doesn't count towards your 6 required buff spells.

strange, I don't see anyone in the tournament chat room. Usually people are there 6 hours early.
