Severly limits the amount of strategies that can be used...not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

[kobisjeruk]

^it has  been done before and quite popular even without the 'different element per round' clause so i dont think that will be a problem

[Demagog]

This is basically an unupped version of a previous tournament. Almost everyone used shrieker rushes, squid/flayer, mono-gravity, or mono-darkness.

How will the 3 deck thingy work for people like me, that don't understand the import/export thing?

[jippy99]

This tourney is looking at a lot of shrieker and life rushes.  I dont know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

[LongDono]

Oh boy I have a fun deck to use for this event if life rush, and shriker rush will indeed be the main events. hehehe
So if I run shriker rush I can not use time or earth the next to games in my match?

[Demagog]

If you're thinking of using a life rush for heals, that's an illegal deck. Creatures/pillars only.

I'm 99% certain that it just depends on the cards you use. Ability costs/marks don't matter. So if you wanted to use a shrieker rush then a pharaoh deck, that would be fine.

Can only use one element once per round so you need 3 decks with different elements in each.

One element per round? So for example, If I want to use time /light  with time mark, can I use fire /time with fire mark in next game?
Please clarify that, because ˝you can use one element per round˝ doesn˙t really explain it well.
I am guessing that you mean that we just have to change marks each game, but I just want to be sure.

[Higurashi]

It explains it perfectly if you know what a round is. Please let me know if the Tournament Rules (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6997.0.html) thread is ambiguous about this. A round is a set of matches. A match is a set of duels. All normal matches consist of duels to the best of 3. Thus, you need to have three decks ready against every opponent. None of these three decks may share an Element.

For instance: round 1. thraexis11 vs. Higurashi.
thraexis11 plays a time/light deck. Higurashi plays a fire/life deck. thraexis11 wins one duel.
Next duel, thraexis11 plays a fire/time deck and is disqualified. Higurashi gets one point.
The match results are now 1-1.

Assuming someone wins, thraexis11 or Higurashi may play their time/light and fire/life decks again in round 2, against the next opponent. The counter is reset every round, so to speak.

Marks do not matter, nor do ability costs. At all. Only what Element the cards you play belong to.

[thraexis11]

OFC I know what a round is, I just wanted to be sure If I understood it well.
It´s better to ask if you are not sure IMO, tnx for your answer.

[RagingAlien]

I'm still not really sure how this works. Is it only mark, only creatures/pillars or both that count towards the element?
