Rules
Please read PvP Tournament rules (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6997.0.html) carefully before signing up.


Special Rules
No upgraded cards.
All decks must contain cards from exactly four Elements. No more, no less. "Other" is not an Element.
You may not use the same deck two duels in a row. This means you cannot use the same type of non-pillar card(s) in both decks. Pillars may be reused.
You have to have at least 5 cards (including pillars/pendulums) from each Element in your decks. This is to discourage Immolation/Nova rushes and encourage real quartets.

Yes, the picture doesn't match the results. We had complications with both hackers and illegal decks.

So, how do you know whether or not a deck used is a quartet? I mean, there are pretty high chances one of the four elements just doesn't show up during a duel.

[1world24]

does the deck have to have 25% of each element?

[TheonlyrealBeef]

The way I read it, is a 60 card deck with 57 cards from one element and 3 dead cards each from a different element a legal deck? (starts thinking of Fire Stalls)
If so, how can it be proven these 3 cards actually are in the deck?

And does changing decks mean I could simply swap the dead cards for other dead cards?

[Demut]

Post the decks you used I guess.

[Higurashi]

Trust, xdude. Same as with the trio/rainbow tournaments we've had.
No, 1world24. There's no restriction on how many or few you need right now. If anyone has good arguments as to why we should have it, feel free to present them. As far as I can tell, you're better off making a real quartet than one with dead cards (for instance a golem rush with some easy splashing).
Yep, Realbeef. There's no foolproof way to prove anything. The same deck is in this context a deck that uses the same cards. You can't use two decks that use Lycanthropes, for instance.

can i use quantum pillars for my fourth element?

[Higurashi]

"Other" is not an Element, so no. If you mean using them to power the cards of the 4th Element, then yes. You can use the same Pillars in both decks, so Quantum Pillars are reusable as well.

Just to help clarify:
Best-of-three
A match consists of up to 3 individual duels. The player who first wins 2 duels, is the winner.

game 1: You use deck A
game 2: You use deck B
game 3: You can use deck A or any other deck besides deck B

[majofa]

The same deck is in this context a deck that uses the same cards. You can't use two decks that use Lycanthropes, for instance.

So deck A and deck B cannot have any cards that are the same? hmm seems more interesting...

[3D House of Beef]

The same deck is in this context a deck that uses the same cards. You can't use two decks that use Lycanthropes, for instance.

So, in this context, and given the above quote, I have a question for clarity.  Decks are for illustrative purposes only.

Round 1 Deck is :
and includes ONLY the aforementioned Lycanthropes, Steals, Fog Shields, and Quints.  For this example it is fueled entirely by Quantum Pillars.

Your quote above indicates that I cannot use the same cards, and that is what indicates a deck distinction. 

Does that mean that a Round 2 Deck could be:
and include ONLY Discords, Devourers, FFQ, and Lightning, also fueled entirely by Quantum Pillars?

Since the using the same card twice in a row is apparently the distinction, and all but Quantum Pillars belong to an element, not being able to use the same regular pillars/pendulums would be what held back using the same elements, but different cards, two rounds in a row.  If the same decks were fueled by that elements pillars, they'd run afoul of the rules and not be legal, since they used the same cards from the same element twice.

Is this all correct?
