Bans: :life Jade Dragon,  :earth Earthquake

The ruleset made these matches downright pathetic... I banned Jade as his sole hitter that could get through Diamond, in the event that he didn't ban it. And if he did, well, a 6x QS Grabbicontrol would take out all his options.

He banned Earthquake, and naturally this meant his only way to bypass the shields was to grow huge Spectres or rush at least 10 poison counters. Putting 4 Diamonds in the deck made any sizable amount of poison unfathomable, and the 4x Earth Nymph were planned to take care of whatever else popped up. Pulvies got rid of his Pendulums and Shields.

Most games went with me getting either a first or second turn Golem and then stockpiling quanta for Shield->Nymph->Pulvy->Everything else. His Nymphs didn't really make much of a difference as he didn't seem to draw or have quanta for them very often.

Playing an Auburn Nymph+Diamond Shield combo when your opponent can't control them is like the old Arctic Squid+Permafrost. Except worse.

GGs.
I ask nothing of humanity but fairness in all things, but I do not expect even that.

We had a discussion about this in chat. KDZ is using an illegal deck here because Mark of Water is not considered to be from 'other' element.

How the card is listed in the game, how it is categorized on the forums, or how it was done in some previous tournament.. all those arguments are irrelevant. Only thing that matters is that Mark cards are basically Pillars of that element, only with a slightly different mechanic. They function like cards that belong to a specific element, they look like cards that belong to a specific element, they are cards that belong to a specific element.

If we did allow Mark cards to be used as 'other', that would give a HUGE advantage to players who have them, because these players could build fake mono decks that are basically duo-decks.

Using an illegal deck doesn't matter here since killsdazombies lost, but for future reference, Mark cards are not considered to be 'other' element. You can still call them 'other' as much as you like, but in PvP events on this forum, they are considered to be the cards of their element, just like the card graphics suggest.
