New rules regarding salvaging/discarding:
LOSING A BATTLE
When you lose a battle, you lose 30 cards.
- Loser discards 30 cards (any cards from the deck loser used)
- Winner salvages 6 cards (any cards from the deck loser used)
- Rest of the cards go back to Vault
Both the salvaging and discarding are done in secret by posting the card list in the secret forum section at the end of each round. Teams can decide what cards to salvage/discard as a team.
Player who lost will build a new deck. If there are not enough cards in the Vault, the player has to wait and hope that other team members manage to salvage enough cards for him to get back into the game. Player has to build a new deck if possible. Skipping a round when it is possible to build a legal deck is not allowed!
After all the battles have been fought, we will go back to Phase 3 and start the next round. Rounds continue until there is only one team left.
Difference to the previous system is that salvaging/discarding are done in secret, and both players can potentially take the same card. Last one doesn't make much sense but helps with organizing the event and makes it more difficult for other teams to keep track what cards their opponents have in their Vaults.
