Host: @ItsSherlock
Participants:
@Unown @gatn @StarLord @KikNaz @Xyzencross @Yakuza @LemonSqueezy @MonkeyDluffy @LDNFernando @Dslavin @Raghnius @Exu @Moking @LDN_HellbranD @Killerdog @Alazan
Special rules:
Everyone picks “captain” and “vice captain” monsters. The captain must be used in every team they make for the tournament, unless it breaks a rule in which case the vice captain is used. If neither can be used, the match is lost.
1, 2 and 3 were used in the group stage. 4, 5 and 6 were used in the quater-finals as a best of three. 7, 8 and 9 were used in the semi-finals as a best of three. 10, 11 and 12 were used in the finals as a best of three.
-
No chrono monsters. Must include a 0-4 star monster for every 6 or 7 star monster.
-
No blood moves. Only two elements allowed (one being captain’s). Using a blood move results in instant loss.
-
No stun. No protect. Taunt is allowed and stun/protect monsters allowed but using the stun/protect move results in instant loss.
-
Element challenge: 1x legendary or mythic from each element, 1x super epic from each element and the last four can be any element with 1x epic, 1x 3*, 1x 2* and 1x 0-1*.
-
Element revenge: Loser of previous battle chooses an element, they create a team using only that element. Other person creates a team using only the element which the chosen element is strong against. E.g. Loser chooses water so the winner must use fire. Captain must be included even if outside the element, rocks and other summoned monsters ignore the element restriction.
-
Captain’s curse: Use both captain and vice captain. All other monsters cannot be the same element as those two monsters.
-
Offense wins games, defense wins championships: All fights 10v10, normal captain rules and best of three…
a) Player A creates a team with first 5 monsters being protectors. Player B no restrictions.
b) Player B creates a team with first 5 monsters being protectors. Player A no restrictions.
c) Unrestricted team building. -
Scout’s warning: Winner of previous battle creates a 14-monster team. They choose two monsters to “hide”, remove them, then take a screenshot to send to the opponent before replacing them. The loser of the previous battle creates a 16-monster team after seeing the screenshot sent by the opponent.
-
Accomplice dilemma: No captain, use vice captain instead. Create a team using only two elements: the vice captain’s element and the one weak to that.
-
Taste of versatility: For each half of the team it must include one monster from each of the eight archetypes. The first half must have monsters which fit only one archetype. The second half can contain monsters which are part of multiple archetypes, but for each extra one they are part of you must reduce the size of your team by one. The eight archetypes chosen are: stun, poison, sleep, give turn, mortar, protector, token disruption, revival.
-
Unlucky draft: Each player picks one monster in turn while announcing it to the other in a chat. They both build a team with the 16 monsters chosen. Winner of the previous battle picks first.
-
The meta isn’t fun to play: No auto-protectors, no Bloomeluga, no Dusicyon.
