War #12- Round 6

each deck has its own sideboard

[Mobian]

When used with a sideboard role, does the deck get a pool of 6 cards to use?

[kaempfer13]

Sorta; sideboard role extra cards are mandatory to use in the first game and these sideboard cards are part of the deckcode you put into vault. Also you can field a 30 card sideboard to run the 3 EC cards in a 30 card deck, with 3 other unimportant cards removed. EC cards can only be added in games 2-5.

Edit: apparently you cant do the latter. looks like its mandatory to run 33 cards in sideboard role now. Normally there wouldnt be a reason not to, but here that rulechange matters.

[mathman101]

Just a reminder not to forget about the Round 5 EC for salvaging cards from your own deck if you used less upgrades than your role originally had before relics.

These are the following players/decks that can salvage from their own deck if they choose.


Manuel - 1 card
TheonlyrealBeef - 2 cards
iancudorinmarian - 1 card
Kalinuial - 3 cards
Wyand - 1 card
dawn to dusk - 2 cards
Player 4 - 1 card
Vindilos - 2 cards
kaempfer13 - 1 card
Vineroz - 1 card


Please remember that you can only salvage a total of 6 (or 7 if you won 3-0) cards for that match this round. The cards salvaged from your own deck are part of that total salvage value.


Please remember to post in your section's Event Card topic if you will be salvaging from your own deck, and to try and minimize the Warning errors on the gdocs you can enter your salvage from own deck into the bonuses spot (Cell D18).

how is earth facing air for a 4th time in only rd6??

All the seedings should properly be fixed now, and should follow the ruling about facing different teams in the previous rounds during the first 6 rounds.

In rounds 2 and 5, teams are intentionally seeded against teams they did not play in the previous round. In round 3 and 6 teams will be intentionally seeded against the three teams they did not play in round 1 and 2.

Our apologies for letting this happen twice in a row, that is our fault and lack of attention to detail and should not have happened again.

Going forward we will attempt to have teams not face the exact same set of 4 opponents in a consecutive round, but will not be making an effort to change it as has been done if this affects only a few teams.

is facing for the forth time as well. We played them round 2,3 and 4. Seems unfair to scramble when earth points this out and not now. Our aether game should on the least be moved randomly.

[ARTHANASIOS]

Any more questions or need more examples?

Just to make it 100% clear, by "discarded", do you mean we are going to lose the card from our vault like normal discards?

[worldwideweb3]

These sideboard card are just added to the current deck, and not swapped with cards in current deck, right?

[asdw152]

@arth: After the match, the used sideboard cards are discarded like penalties, regardless of the outcome. Winning 3-0 without using the EC on a non-salvage deck gives 7 salvage. Using the EC grants 7 salvage but penalizes you for those used cards. Using none means no penalty. This penalty is separate from your standard discards if you lose the match.

@www3: The sideboard cards are added, not swapped.

It was inevitable that would get the hardest round at some point.

[Manuel]

are these definitive or you will reshuffle for entro vs aether?

[worldwideweb3]

Facing 4 times in 6 rounds isn’t uncommon. Reshuffle was mainly cause of light mishap. Just stay and play it ffs, stop moaning.

I'd like to hear your opinion if it happens with facing 4 times in 6 rounds. Btw it was maybe uncommon
when teams had to play 5-6 matches / round, but now it's only 4 / round, the situation is entirely different.

And this:

how is earth facing air for a 4th time in only rd6??

We are currently looking into this. there might be an error with our seeding randomizer. Our apologies.

According to this the problem still exists, so Manuel's question is justified. I also wish to have some solution to the issue.
