Blake Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 [XYZ SUMMON] Been a loooong while since the last Numbers Tournament, and with CORE hitting soon, I figured it would be a fun way to beckon the new cards in with a gimmick. Things are slightly changed now, but all will be explained. [spoiler=Rules]The Format for this tournament is April 2015. Stall, Burn, Mill, and Alternate Win Conditions are prohibited as decks. Further edits to the list will be posted later, as well as some notes about numbers. Please note that any banlist moves are not neccesarily based on overall health of the game, but more health of this tournament and its gimmick. Games are to be played on www.duelingnetwork.com This tournament will be Double Elimination. If you lose, you are not disqualified. You must turn your decks in to Mugen/Marco You are to play matches. If you need an extension, PM Marco or myself ahead of time. Last minute will not be tolerated, nor will blatant stalling. You may not edit your deck during the tournament in ANY way, except to add a Number(s) into it, or to add a Rank-Up Magic spell card into it to make a Chaos Number usable. If you do so, you must show Marco your new build and wait for approval.[/spoiler][spoiler=Concerning Numbers]First and foremost, the premise of the Tournament: You duel to claim Numbers from other players as you go, and all Numbers have their Anime/Manga protection: "Cannot be destroyed by battle, except with "Number" monsters." Your first Number will be randomly assigned by Marco once all members are in he fuckin wants to. After you are assigned a Number, you will choose a Number from the following list of 25 different Numbers to support the deck you wish to play. Simply tell Marco which you want in the same PM, provided it is not claimed before you choose it (Marco will try his best to keep this list current):F0: Utopic Future12: Crimson Shadow Armor Ninja14: Greedy Sarameya 15: Gimmick Puppet of Strings 17: Leviathan Dragon 18: Heraldry Patriarch 20: Giga-Brilliant 21: Frozen Lady Justice23: Lancelot, Ghost Knight of the Underworld40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings47: Nightmare Shark 48: Shadow Lich50: Blackship of Corn 55: Gogogo Goliath62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon 63: Shamoji Soldier69: Heraldry Crest72: Shogi Rook74: Master of Blades79: Battlin' Boxer Nova Kaiser80: Rhapsody in Berserk82: Heartlandraco83: Galaxy Queen91: Thunder Spark Dragon99: Utopic Dragon Also to note, Numbers 13 and 31, should they be assigned, are treated as a single Number, so you are still eligible to choose another. You must run both of them, but you do also get a third Number. You must be able to realistically summon your Numbers. Not "hurrdurr I run 2 level 8s in the Extra so I can make 15". Marco has the right to reject your deck if you're trying to dance around this, so really, don't. When you win a match, you may take 1 of the loser's Numbers. Your opponent tells you their Number(s), whether publicly or privately, then you send Marco a PM telling him which you chose to claim after you let your opponent know your claim. The other Numbers they have are kept for the sake of Double elimination. If a member has 2+ Numbers in the Loser's Bracket, you still only get to claim 1 Number. You may use up to 1 of each Chaos Number(s) associated with your Monster, but are not required to do so. Continuing from the last point, you may run up to 1 of each "Utopia" Monster, if you get assigned Utopia. That said, you must run the original "Number 39: Utopia". There will be one randomly assigned 'Barian'. The Barian will start with 1 Over-Hundred Number (101-106 and 107) randomly assigned, and they can then choose to gain 1 Over-Hundred Number instead of a regular Number each time they win a match. These numbers are treated the same as regular Numbers, but they cannot be claimed or lost. Finally, some Numbers have been deemed not worthy of being live. As such, these Numbers will be barred from being assigned OR chosen. They are: 6: Chronomaly Atlandis 16: Shock Master 49: Fortune Tune 66: Master Key Beetle 86: Heroic Champion – Rhongomyniad 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon[/spoiler][spoiler=Ban List and Special Rule]Banned:Denko Sekka Djinn Releaser of Rituals Eclipse Wyvern Judgment DragonNekroz of TrishulaBlaze Fenix, the Burning Bombardment Bird Elder God Noden Ritual Beast Ulti-CannahawkDewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier Karakuri Shogun mdl 00 “Burei”Cyber Dragon InfinitySaqlifice Soul Charge Temple of the KingsSkill Drain Limited:Armageddon Knight Kuribandit Lonefire Blossom Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands Mathematician Yosenju Kama 1Explosive Dragoknight Ignister Prominence Karakuri Steel Shogun mdl 00X “Bureido”Hieratic Seal of Convocation Reasoning Reinforcement of the Army Shaddoll FusionVoid DreamAir BarrierBlaze Accelerator Reload Breakthrough Skill Mind Drain Mistake Semi-Limited:Yuki Usagi AKA Ghost Ogre and Snow RabbitFire Formation - Tenki Again, these are not purely game health changes. Some, such as BTS or Shaddoll Fusion, are format changes. The aim is to summon your Number, so... SPECIAL RULE: Duel Terminal Xyz Monsters cannot be played, except in their own decks. A few Xyz-based cards that are based in the DT explicitly forbid Numbers from their effects, so to take this a step further, and hopefully balance the format some, the DT Xyz are not able to be played completely generically. The list below covers these monsters.

But as someone pointed out, it's a bit too good when it can't die by battle to non-Numbers. As for an application, just give me your DN and Challonge (if any) usernames. Looking for 16 players, though more/less is possible. Tourney will start once Marco has assigned all of the Numbers and your decks are in. Decks are due 2 days after your numbers are assigned. I will be taking part, but I'm not going to know your decks, your Numbers, etc. Just making the bracket itself and managing the tournament.

evilfusion Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I have a suggestion, based on my memory of the last Number tournament. Like this one, that one allowed anyone to use the Over-Hundred Numbers, but only 1 of them. I think an alternative could be that only 1 player may use Over-Hundred Numbers (at the start), and in exchange, may use any or all of them instead of receiving other Numbers. I just think it's kind of contradicting to possibly have multiple Over-Hundreds running around. With my suggestion, one person could run a dedicated Over-Hundred/Rank-Up Deck.

Definitely a consideration, and will talk it over with Marco. I just am wary about cutting out generic goodstuffs completely, especially 107 and 103. "There will be one randomly assigned 'Barian'. The Barian will start with 1 Over-Hundred Number (101-106 and 107) randomly assigned, and they can then choose to gain 1 Over-Hundred Number instead of a regular Number each time they win a match.

This means no sooner than the 27th, but likely closer to the beginning of May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLG Klavier Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Could we have Goldrat be removed from the card pool just so nobody has to put up with that piece of shit card? You don't choose the Numbers. The Numbers choose you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah, but it's an incredible disadvantage for anyone that gets it though. That automatically makes things completely unfair for the user since they have to cater towards it deckwise. I mean, we all agree it's one of the worst Numbers right? So it should be stricken just so nobody has to suffer having to use it. It's just as soul sucking as what happened to its owner in the anime itself.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Well, Goldrat isn't even on the list, so it isn't something to worry about, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 That's the list you CHOOSE from after you've been assigned your Number, ergo, Goldrat is in the random Number pool assigned to players beforehand. Every Number not on either of those two lists is a part of the randomized pool that will essentially decide your deck choice. This is why I feel Goldrat should be added to the unused/banned pool so the RNG doesn't majorly screw someone over if they're unlucky enough to get Goldrat. I know other janky Numbers are in the pool as well, it's just, Goldrat is the worst Number ever, and creates even more of a disadvantage than the other crappy Numbers.

Blake Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Goldrat was soft removed from being assigned. I didn't list him in the OP because the "banned" Numbers were due to being too good/degenerate, but Marco intends to refill Goldrat if he hits it.

Blake Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Both added, and added the only other thing I forgot to the list; Yosenju Kama 1 is limited.List won't be edited anymore, and I apologize for editing it at all. Again, changes are for the health of the gimmick, not so much the game as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
