7th Trials - Phase 2 - Challengers' Battles

[Belligerence]

Spent like 15 minutes staring at this and scrolling down the rules over and over before it clicked t hat Light != Life, despite looking similar to my tired mind.

This is cruel, but I like it. Can't wait to see how many illegal decks I can field, wooo!

Ban sending is over.

*takes a peek at challenger battles*

and yet to finish all of them
11 days 19 hours 57 minutes remaining

still they are all interesting rules onizuka.

* goes back to stare hard at master battles**

I think I need to use monofire in all matches, to not risk making an illegal deck

[RavingRabbid]

Come on guys. The rule could've been worse. I could've typed them.

Just for clarification.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Lets say that I'm in air. Here I have played water and time but since I hasn't played fire and light I can't walk there.

Spoiler for Hidden:

I decide to move to time but since I've already played water I can't use that element again and I can't play fire and light since time dosen't connect to them.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Since I only played 1 element last round that I hadn't played before my only choice was to go to aether. Then can I chose to play mono? And if I can does it mean I have to walk further again?

I'm pretty sure you could use Fire/Light at any point in said spoilers.

[Onizuka]

Start at air.
Elements you start with: Fire, Light, Water, Time.

G1: You use Water and Time. You decide to go through time.
G2: You can use Fire, Light, Aether. You use aether.
G3: You can use Fire, Light, Darkness, Death.

You can use a mono at any point. If you use a mono with elements remaining (IE, if you don't use all your currently available elements), you cannot push through anything.

So let's say you start at air:

Elements you start with: Fire, Light, Water, Time.

G1: You use water and time. You push through time to aether.
G2: You can use Fire, Light, Aether. You use none of them and use a mono.
G3: You can use Fire, Light Aether.

Another air example:

Elements you start with: Fire, Light, Water, Time.

G1: You use water and time. You push through time.
G2: You can use Fire, Light, Aether. You use Fire, Light, Aether. You push through water.
G3: You can use earth and life.

Spoiler for Very important image, if you don't look at it you deserve to lose:

• Your mark can only be from an element you can currently use

Regarding the image:

• If you use an element, you cannot use it again (excluding the element you are trialing for). If you use a card from an element, you use that element. If you use time mark but no time cards, time mark/cards can be used next game.

So which is which?
