Western Tournament - Nov 13th - Quartets

hypothetically, if i had 5 horned frogs in 1 deck, and 1 horned frog in another, could i use deck 2 directly after deck 1? because technically i could own 6 and sit one out the first round and play it the second.

Pretty sure by cards he doesn't mean exact card, but card with the same name.  So no, given what is said above, that would not be legal.  Frogs in deck one means no Frogs in deck two.  Regardless of the number.

@3D: You can use the same pillars in both decks. Apart from that, all correct.

i read the rules more litterally and i thought it meant that you cant use the same exact card. there goes 1 of my decks.

Non-Rainbow quartets are difficult indeed. You need 3 different pendulums in order to use all the other elements. Meaning the cards that aren't your mark must be dirt cheap and even then the odds of a bad draw are still uncomfortably high.

There is no good way to do it other then going with nova, immolation, photon/spark throw ins, quantum pillars and/or luciferin.

In other words, this will require lameness in order to have a chance to win.

Thanks for the clarification Higgy.

nooooooo. one hour later and i could participate

the rule means nothing, we can still pack 3 different pendulums and then go with a 27 cards mono

This. While I LOVE the idea of quartets (yay for creative deck-building and no deck stealing)
I'd say you should have to use at least 4(5?) cards of each of the 4 elements. This way, if you want to play a mono, you'll have 12(15?) dead cards in the deck, making this a not so great idea.

My thoughts exactly. I'm already figuring out ways to manipulate the rules so that I can use the 'proven' pvp decks without much sacrifice to their playability... because of course I want to win. I know if i don't, then i will likely be beaten by someone who did. I would prefer to not have that option though. If the rules called for a minimum amount of each element... say 15%? That would go a long way toward bringing some originality to the decks. Imho.   

[homoaddictus]

I think the decks should be 25% of each element. Otherwise we'll be seeing a lot of these:

standard deck + spark + photon
standard deck + nova + vampire stilleto
immolation decks

It would pretty much ruin the whole tournament theme.

Minimums are understandable, but some quartets actually don't need that many cards from that element, mine use 3 or even 2 of one element, but is a quartet in every way (don't pay attention to those novae/quantum towers/immolations ).
