| Thanks to generous donations from Ryuk (Shredder), I was able to buy a tournament license and write this. Thank him for this.
I will be hosting the first ODA elemental tournament. The idea behind this is that duelists will make a deck consisting of only one type of Attribute, namely the four elements (Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind). This not only goes for their main deck consisting of one attribute, but their side and extra deck as well. This means that if you're running level 7s in a water deck you WILL NOT be able to xyz summon Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack. That particular monster will be restricted to those joining the Wind element team. It's not much of a challenge to run a deck that consists of 90%+ one attribute (Karakuri, Battlin' Boxers, Gusto, etc) but it's another thing to think about your essential extra deck monsters being limited to this rule as well. This will provide a different, stricter game play and will make duels much more interesting.
The tournament will be organized by teams essentially. Our teams will be the obvious four elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. The use of Light/Dark decks are prohibited, as I don't see them as elements (Do you see Shining, Dragon Ruler of Lightbulbs or Darkness, Dragon Ruler of the Boogie Man? Neither do I). This, obviously, means that the use of Light/Dark xyz are banned as well (Big Eye, Constellar, etc). Due to popular opinion, there are high tier element decks that, even with this element restriction, can still be viewed as overpowed and the use of them will be prohibited in this tournament. This will also open up a window for people to use something a little more original. The rule of one deck per duelists will also apply. This means that once a deck has been selected it is locked and nobody else can use said deck. This way the entire Earth team won't be using Gadgets, for example.
Lets cover the rules of this tournament:
1. Decks will be restricted to a single element. This means that your MAIN DECK, SIDE DECK, AND EXTRA DECK can only consist of monsters that have one element in common. (Ex: If you're joining the Fire team, all of your monsters in all three decks must be Fire attribute.) Deck merging is allowed. You can run Battlin' Jurracs so long as everything in the deck is Fire attribute. That being said, Battlin' Boxers AND Jurracs by themselves can still be used but that specific variant cannot if it is selected by another duelist. Originality is encouraged. 2. The use of Light/Dark monsters are not allowed, as they are not elements and they never will be. Yes, this means no Light/Dark monsters in the extra deck such as Big Eye. 3. There are a select few number of decks that the forum has deemed overpowered and overplayed. Thus, the following decks will be banned from use in this tournament: Mermail, Dragunity, and Fire Fist. Variants of these will also be prohibited. No Dragunity Dux in your Harpie deck. 4. Decks are restricted to one per person. This means that once a deck is chosen it is immediately locked and nobody else can choose said deck. You must keep the same deck throughout the tournament, obviously. This plus the last rule keeps originality in this tournament in check. 5. All duels will be in match format. There is no specific tournament tree or anything, so you may freely go out and duel whoever your three other element opponents are on your own time. Please refrain from killing off your own team. That'd be unfortunate. 6. At the end of the tournament, if the winning team has more than one member still intact, the remaining members can duel among each other until one is left. That sole victor will receive a special prize from myself (we'll think about this rule once the time comes). 7. Double hearts crossfire for everyone. You're allowed two losses. After that, you're out of the tournament and we offer you as a sacrifice to the great Herald of Perfection. 8. If you use Gozen Match, well... I don't know what to say. 9. To join, you will select your deck and that will determine which team you reside on. If you're planning on using Karakuri, then you're on the Earth team. Team rosters will be kept track of on this thread and will be updated as more people join. 10. Please refrain from any trash talking in duels. Let's try to keep this a friendly tournament and not an overly competitive one where you insult another person for their deck choice. 11. No use of "Barrier Statue" cards. For the rules we're playing this it would be overkill to have one of these in your deck. With the right cards you can keep these alive and lock out your opponent. The tournament isn't going to be about summoning a statue on first turn and keeping it alive with Safe Zone. They're banned. 12. Trap monsters are prohibited if they conflict with your deck. (Ex: If you have a Metal Reflect Slime in a Fire based deck, it's conflicting attributes.) Trap monsters can only be used if they match up with the attribute of which you're dueling for. This means that Embodiment of Apophis can only be used in Earth decks.
When you post on this thread to join the tournament please include the element team of which you're joining plus the deck that you will be using. This will ensure that I can successfully lock each deck type that is used in this tournament so nobody else can take it. The tournament will commence two weeks from now on the 23rd of November. Until then, make your decks and strengthen them to the best of your ability. Remember, work off of your element and take it to your advantage. Likewise, take your opponent's elements into consideration as well. Make their element their own weakness. I'll leave the rest to you. Sign-up commence.

| It's taken me much thought but I think I'm going to take a new approach besides my Boxers. I'll be joining the Wind team (tysm Kira for making me not the only one :s ) with my Mist Valley deck.
Also, to clarify on the rule due to some confusion: when I say that Dragunity, Mermail, and Fire Fist are banned from the tournament that not only applies to the main deck itself. Xyz such as Mermail Abyssgaios and Brotherhood of the Fire Fist Tiger King are also banned. If it includes the words "Dragunity", "Mermail", or "Brotherhood of the Fire Fist" then its use is forbidden. Carry on with the joining. The rosters so far are looking awesome. |

| There's been a slight change in rules. After talking it over with Sylveraine, the use of Barrier Statue cards are banned. If you don't know what these are, good. In normal situations they're never used and typically unheard of but for this tournament they could be an FTK in a heartbeat. The reason I say FTK is simply the fact that once you summon them you're completely one siding the duel and restricting special summoning to your own attribute. "Lol they're nub only 1k att gg?" Safe Zone, Swords of Revealing Light, Waboku, etc. This could turn duels into a matter summoning a statue and protecting it. Your opponent cries and you can special summon all you want. Take this from someone who, with a good amount of backrow, can abuse these ridiculously more than you know. Mist Valley is known for abuse and this is no exception. We're adding on the additional rule of banning the use of barrier statues. If you have them in your deck or side, take them out. |

| Barrier Statues in my opinion would ruin the tournament. They're weak and can be stopped but combined with the right support they can lead to ridiculous lockdowns. Syl put it best comparing it to Dragon Rulers being able to take down an Ophion with full backrow; they wouldn't stand a chance. The same applies to this situation. I was considering siding it only because Mist Valley works off of good cards such that the statue could be protected but then I realized I wasn't the only one who could do it. Anyone can throw in Safe Zone, Mirror Force, Lance, etc to protect their statues. They're good cards, don't get me wrong, but with the style that this tournament is they'll be tier 1 cards in our case. I just don't want the entire tournament to be a game of who can draw into a statue and lock their opponent first. They have to go :l |

| That also brings up another concern. Trap monsters are off limits if they conflict with the strict attribute rule. If all of your trap monsters match up with the same element as the team you're on, go ahead. This means you can't summon Metal Reflect Slime in a Fire deck. Rules Updated. |

| While we're on the subject matter, I may as well address dual attribute monsters. Although Light and Darkness Dragon, Elemental Mistress Doriado, and Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of Twilight cannot be used in this tournament, Dark Simorgh may be able to in the opinion of some people. Although it would be rather hard to summon due to the fact that no Dark monsters are permitted, it is still technically considered a Wind attribute and I can see people getting confused on this. The monster in question, if dual attribute, must be one solid attribute. Having more than one attribute goes against the first and most crucial rule of the tournament. Just putting it out there for future reference. I'm really happy with all of the participation in signing up for the tournament. Let's keep it going. |

| Well Pony you'll need to state what team you're playing for as well as the deck of which you're using. Please be sure to read all of the rules of the tournament before you make your selection, though.
As far as when this will start, I planned it to be on the 23rd to give people some time to join but it seems like within a day it's already escalated higher than I expected. Do you think I should open the tournament sooner? |
