JOKE`? this is awesome i mean my hacked sakeleton deck is nothing in front of this if you cheat this gavels can makke 50 dmg tough

Mono-air? Really? I say this deserves a class of its own since it doesn't use quantas from any element. Gratz on that. (no sarcasm intended)


Back on topic: This deck would lose against an FG. Either by decking out or being out damaged as this deck doesn't have any perm control.

Good job anyways, if elements ever decided to make a fake god based on your deck that FG would be unstoppable.

This is not mono-air.

[PuppyChow]

This is not mono-air.

How so? One type of card + Other.

Animate Weapon has a casting cost of 1 unspecified quanta (which I shall call colorless), therefore, this is more accurately mono-colorless.

[Thelonesun]

By the definition of mono, this deck is mono.

[harakirinosaru]

By the definition of mono, this deck is mono.

Yes, but not mono-air.

[miniwally]

By the definition of mono, this deck is mono.

Yes, but not mono-air.

Yes it is the only non-other card there is air making it a mono-air.

From this thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,2315.108.html):

The problem, Teffy, is that we're not talking about what you see in-game. We're talking about the decks that you see posted here in the forum.  In that case, you really do see every card in the deck, and you really can just look at them and say "OK, that's what this does."

That's why casting cost really is the only reasonable way to judge the mono-ness of a deck.  Casting cost is the absolute determinant of what quanta the deck NEEDS to produce to function.  And the rule really is simple:

1 elemental casting cost = monodeck.
2 elemental casting costs = duodeck.
3 elemental casting costs = triodeck.
4+ elemental casting costs = rainbow.

No complexity at all.  No counting cards to figure out if something is primary or tertiary.  All you gotta do is look at the corner of the card, and if you don't see a little elemental symbol there, it doesn't count toward the number of elements in the deck.  Activation costs are ignored because by and large the deck can still do something without activating a specific off-element skill, but it can do nothing if it can' t pay it's casting costs.

It's DEAD SIMPLE.  And it works perfectly.

All one type of quantum. Just because you have the air card animate weapon doesn't make it any less mono. You're just basically making it a one cost gravity card.

So by these definitions, this would be mono-colorless, because the cards in this deck all have the same casting cost of "Other", or whatever's available at the moment.
