Hmm question time.  Rules state 25% of the deck has to be within Element.  So I'm assuming threads like this would be off limits completely since there's no way to tell how much of the OP's deck idea was within Element, right?  http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29074.0.html
Why not just comment on one of the decks posted as a reply, like Matrim's?
Carpe Diem!!

Try building a deck that will do that with at least half Light cards.  The best I've been able to come up with so far has been a 3-win chain.  Looking at the Light trial thread, it looks like someone's already used RoL-Hope, which I thought was verboten, so maybe I should just give up and run a Vader Sader?
johann you've posted several times in this thread about the difficulty of Task I.  Your opinion has been heard.  I'm sure you don't expect me to change the task at this point.  Constructive criticism belongs in the Trials Feedback thread.  Any questions you have regarding Phase 1 can be asked here.  Regarding the "tried and true" rule, see my other posts in this thread.

Threads with no deck in the OP are messy.  I let a couple through like this one (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7501.0.html) where it'd be pretty impossible to build a deck according to the authors specifications without using 25% in-element.  I wish ak had commented in a thread that didn't straddle the rule, but it was a player asking for help with a life card specifically, and the point of this Task is for prospective Masters to help players who are asking for help with that element.

927 will have to find a new thread just as majofa did.

Why not just comment on one of the decks posted as a reply, like Matrim's?
Please don't.  If playerA asks for help on a mono-aether and playerB recommends mono-air instead, we're not helping playerA by critiquing the mono-air.  Let's stick to helping the authors.

Two questions: I know I missed this one, but where do we post the shard critiques?
And, if I don't have the cash on my main, may I build the deck for task 1 on an alt?
Strike that, reverse it.

Shard submission goes on the Shard Submissions thread; shard critiques go in the Proving of Worthiness thread for your particular Trial.

Task I should be done on your main.  If you're short on ups this is a good opportunity for you to grind. :)

If your "alt" has more cards than your main, is it really an alt?

Feel free to easily improve the so decks elsewhere, but credit will be given for Deck Help posts only, as it says in the rules.

It looks like Sno was successful in finding threads on which other Time Trialers hadn't commented for 5 of his 6 threads.  I have faith that you can do the same, tng.  And if you can't, I have faith you'll be able to add value in your replies anyway.

Noticed that some people have been missing an important rule for Task III so I wanted to emphasize it so people get credit:

Quote
Replies must be 150 words each PLUS a deck image that adds to your helping the player in need.
Don't forget to post images of the new deck build you are suggesting!
Carpe Diem!!
