Phase 4 – Final Battle
1: Ban Cards Time's up!- Each player bans six cards
- Banned cards can be of any element or ‘other’
- Each ban must be from a different element (i.e. you may not ban two
cards or two 'other' cards but you may ban one of each)
- You may not ban pillars or pendulums
- Both unupped and upped version of the card will be banned using that one ban
- Opponent cannot use any of these banned cards in any of his/her decks
- You can use the cards that you banned but you cannot use the cards your opponent banned
PM your ban list to
kevkev60614. If a contestant does not PM a list, no cards are banned and their opponent may use any cards. Banned cards will be made public when the countdown timer above reaches 0. Contestants will then have five days to build their decks for the Final Battle which will last seven days.
2: Prepare Decks Time's up!Deckbuilding rules:- Any amount of cards
- Maximum amount of upgraded cards is the number of points a player scored during phases 1-3
- At least half of the cards in your deck have to be in-element
- Any mark
- No Cards Banned by your opponent
- No Shards of Gratitude
You may not use an off-element more than once. If you use an Aether Pillar in your first deck, you may not use Aether Pillars, Dimensional Shields, Phase Dragons or any other Aether cards in any other decks. If your first deck is a rainbow using all 12 elements you better reeeeally like monos. You may use 'other' cards in as many decks as you'd like.
3: Fight! Time's up!The Final Battle is "best-of-nine" meaning that the player who gets five wins first, wins the battle. If a Master wins, he or she retains the title. If a challenger wins, he or she becomes the new Master.
Players are to contact their opponents using PMs and find a duel time that is suitable for both players. Keep in mind that best-of-nine might take a long time, so you might need up to two hours to finish all the matches. Players are highly encouraged to post a countdown timer for their duel in Trials Battle Results (
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,370.0.html)
at least 24 hours before it happens so that community members will have a chance to observe the battle.
Contestants have seven days to finish Final Battle. Please fight as soon as possible, however, to avoid running out of time. Please post match results and decks used in the Trials Battle Results thread created before the battle.
