Tournament - Battle of the Elements

[Fippe94]

Battle of the Elements


Rules:
After signups ends, send a PM to me with an element. Chroma is not an element.
Everyone's chosen elements will be revealed before Round 1 starts.
In round 1, your "element pool" will contains only this element.
When you win a match, choose 1 element that your opponent has access to, this element is now added to your element pool.
If you opponent had the exact same elements as you, your new element will be randomly selected.
Your decks can only consist of cards from the elements in your element pool. This includes pillars.
Your deck are allowed to have any mark.
Your deck cannot contain any upgraded cards or any Chroma cards.

Discord, Whirlpool, Shard of Serendipity and Alchemist are banned, and are not allowed to be used in any deck.

Each match will be a best-of-3.
Note that you can switch decks between duels.
Tournament will be Double Elimination. The loser of each round move to Loser Brackets, if you lose there you're out. Final is between the winners of each bracket.

You may ask why you are gonna send elements secretly to me while I am also participating. Won't i be able to choose a good element myself depending on what you send in?

Spoiler for How to ensure this won't happen:

1853 cg you and i both pinky swear we're not picking based on each other's elements
1853 cg and you tell me your starting element and i tell you mine at the same time
1853 cg and then everyone just pm's you their elements after you've secretly chosen
1854 cg and then i can confirm that you chose before people started pm'ing you

Or alternatively, if you are not gonna participate and feel like helping out, post here or send me a PM and then everyone can send starting elements to that person instead.

You must contact your opponent and schedule time with him, the tournament will not be happening on a specific time/date like the EtG tournaments.

Tentatively in. Very unlikely to withdraw if there are eight or fewer players including me. Slightly more likely to withdraw if there will be at least eight players left after I withdraw.

Sad no lockets... Those are my favorite card too.

What about georesonator and oddball stuff like SoSe? They make cards from every element.
