StarFight Tournament: Starfight Rules & Suggestion

[Moe Shinkō]

Since the first tournament was a success and people enjoyed it, This following thread's primary purpose is to suggest more rules for future tournaments, so feel free to go ahead and suggest.

Template
Rule Name: (Be creative~)
What Rule Does: (Make sure to be thorough and detailed as possible.)
Additional Notes: (In case certain units abilities conflict or interact with this rule in a particular way, use this as a way to clear up any misunderstandings. For examples, click below.)

Starfight's Special Rules Bank

Rule Name: Generation Breaker!
Your Grade 3 or greater Vanguard gets "[ACT] [1/T] [Choose a face down card in your G zone and bind it face up]: Choose one of your units' Generation Break abilities for each face up G Unit in the bind zone, until the end of your opponents next turn, that ability may be used."

Rule Name: Golden Card!
At the beginning of the fight: after placing your starter and before you mulligan, take one card from your deck and RFG it. At any point throughout the game, at the beginning of your turn, you may add that card instead of conducting your draw.
Additional Notes: If you forget your "Golden Card" at the start of the game and if neither player began their first draw, you may put your entire hand back, RFG the card, then shuffle, redraw 5. Mulligan is also restored using this method. You may not use this method at any point beyond the turn player's draw.

Rule Name: 3 Man Army!
At the start of each of turn, during you Stand Phase, you may only stand 3 of your rear guards. Your other rears may stand via effects of stand triggers or abilities during your turn. In addition, units previously stood at the start of your turn are not rested and remain standing (meaning they're able to attack).

Rule Name: Yin/Yang Damage!
At the end of your turn, if you have a G3 Vanguard, you may either Countercharge 1 or choose a face-up card from your opponents damage and flip it face-down. You may NOT do both at the same turn.

Rule Name: Card Roulette!
At the beginning of your turn, during your draw phase, you may draw 2 cards and put any card from your hand to the bottom of your deck.

Rule Name: Call Limiter!
You may only call up to 3 units a turn but you may only normal call or superior call up to 2 units respectively. (You may normal call 2 and superior call 1 or normal call 1 and superior call 2. You may not superior call or normal call 3.)
Additional Notes: Units called from the bind zone back to the field due to "Time Leap" abilities, during the end phase, is the only exception to this rule and may be called back at the end phase.

Rule Name: Nullification (created by Misaka)
Your Grade 3 Vanguards' get "[ACT] (VC) [1/Turn] Generation Break 1:[Discard a card] During either player's turn, you may pay the cost. If you do, choose one of your opponent's units of the same grade as your discarded unit, and the chosen unit loses all of its ability text until the end of turn."

Name: Trigger Roulette (created by Patrickzzz
Rule: When any player checks a trigger the trigger effect will be decided by two consecutive coin flips:
Heal: Heads/Heads
Draw: Heads/Tails
Stand: Tails/Heads
Critical Tails/Tails
This will only decide the effect of the trigger when you check it, for all other intents and purposes the trigger is what the card says, for instance only actual heal triggers may be used for G-Guarding regardless of the effect they had when you checked it.

Name: Call me back!
Rule: At the start of your ride phase, choose one of your rear guards and add it back to hand. You cannot use the rear-guard circle of the unit returned by the effect of this rule, for the rest of the turn.

Name: True Generation Break
Rule: You can only activate Generation Break 2 skills when you have 4 or more damage, and you can only activate Generation Break 3 and greater skills if you have 5 damage or more damage. (The normal GB requirement still counts).

6th Wonder Card
Before placing your Forerunner, choose up to six cards from your deck and removes them from the game (either RFG or Bind zone works). Once per turn, when one of your units attack hits the vanguard, choose up to one of those six cards and add it to your hand.

Persona Guard
All cards in your hand get "AUTO: During the battle when your unit is attacked by your opponents vanguard, when this unit is placed on the Guardian Circle, choose one (VG) or (RG) with the same name as this unit and until the end of turn, that unit cannot be hit."

Rank-Up Stride Force
[AUTO] (VC) [Choose one face up card from your G zone and remove it from game]At the start of your main phase, you may pay the cost. If you do, choose this units' Stride Bonus and activate it. Then, until the end of the turn, this unit gets Power+5000 and "[AUTO] (VC) When this unit attacks a vanguard, if this unit did not previously attack during this turn, this unit gets Drive+1 until the end of battle."

[MaXtreme]

Rule Name: Attack guidance
What Rule Does: Every attack both players flip a coin, the turn player flips to decide whether that unit gets to attack (if it fails the unit is put to rest, on boost and on attack skills won't apply), the attacked player flips to decide the target (if it fails the turn player gets to pick his target, in case of only 1 target available this step shall be ignored)

Exceptions: The player will not flip multiple coins for the following cards that allow attacks against multiple units at once
- Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion
- Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion "THE BLOOD"
- Conquering Supreme Dragon, Dragonic Kaiser Warning
- Brawler, Big Bang Knuckle Dragon
- Brawler, Big Bang Knuckle Buster
- True Brawler, Big Bang Knuckle Turbo
- Conquering Supreme Dragon, Dragonic Vanquisher "VMAX"
- Using Trainee Monk Dragon's skill
- Djinn of Twofold Striking
- Exculpate The Blaster


Any suggestions may change this rule for the better.

[Azuki Frappé]

Name: Damage Reversal
Both players start with 6 face-up card in their damage. Each time a damage is taken, heal the damage instead and damage triggers activate when they are healed (heal triggers places a card from the top of your deck into the damage). Once your damage reaches 0, you lose the game.

Name: Trigger Reversal
Trigger effects reverse during Drive checks and Damage checks but the power gained is doubled.(Triggers will activate normally when checked via Rescue).
 - Stand Triggers gives 10000 power and Rest one rear-guard instead.
 - Critical Triggers gives 10000 power and Critical -1 instead.
 - Draw Triggers gives 10000 power and discard one instead. (Draws will act as 10000 shield)
 - Heal Triggers gives 10000 power and take one damage instead. (Heals cannot deal 6th damage)

Name: Fair Play
During the start of the game, each player must reveal their hand to each other. Then match the grades to each other and discard cards until both players have exactly the same number of cards with the same grades in hand. (For example if the opponent had 2 G1s and 3 G2s and you have 1 G1, 2 G2s and 2 G3s, the opponent must discard a G1 and G2 and you must discard 2 G3s.)
You may use this effect once more when both players have 5 damage.

Name: Aggro
Both players can only attack the Vanguard. Both players get "Generation Break 1: Once per turn during your turn you may discard a card from your hand. If you do, retire an opponent's rear guard with the same grade as the discarded unit."

[Kisaragi Zane]

Name: Heavenly Hell!
Rule: During your end phase, if you dealt 0 damage your opponent this turn, choose one of your vanguards and deal it one damage. If you dealt two or more damage to your opponent this turn, you may heal one damage. Both players must have Grade 3 vanguards and can only be applied if you have four or less damage. (Italics part is tweaked for any damage modified rules ex. 8 damage to win).

Name: Grasp your nth Future!
Rule: If the number of face up cards in your G-zone is less than n, you may Stride or Generation Guard, normally.

Name: Call me back!
Rule: Once per turn, at the start of your ride phase, you may select one of your rear guards and add it back to hand. You cannot use the rear-guard circle of the unit returned by the effect of this rule, for the rest of the turn.

Name: Unlimited Break!
Rule: All Limit Break 4, Limit Break 5, and Generation Break # are also active from rear guard circle. All costs and effects are to be resolved accordingly. (I was gonna suggest Legion too but it's kinda difficult to put a Legion'd unit on 1 rear circle, plus Legion doesn't have the word "Break" in it, so....)

[[ER] Patrickzzz]

Name: True Generation Break
Rule: You can only activate Generation Break 2 skills when you have 4 or more damage, and you can only activate Generation Break 3 and greater skills if you have 5 damage(The normal GB requirement still counts).

Name: Trigger Roulette
Rule: When any player checks a trigger the trigger effect will be decided by two consecutive coin flips:
Heal: Heads/Heads
Draw: Heads/Tails
Stand: Tails/Heads
Critical Tails/Tails

This will only decide the effect of the trigger when you check it, for all other intents and purposes the trigger is what the card says, for instance only actual heal triggers may be used for G-Guarding regardless of the effect they had when you checked it.

Name : Broke Stride gate
Rule: When you going to do stride, cost of stride become Grade4.(normal one is Grade3)

Name : Wrong Stride
Rule: Before game, player must edit deck, choose 1 clan other then your main clan, and you only can use G-unit from picked clan. (Like i use Royal, and but use Kagero G-unit)
-at end game change back to old deck.
-all G-unit with heart limited will useless

[Moe Shinkō]

I don't understand the first one and I'd prefer not having players edit decks, like making them remove crits and stuff on certain rounds etc. Makes it more of a hassle.

[Nezuko]

Highest Damage: You have a certain amount of turns for the game and after the certain amount of turns the person with the highest amount of damage loses

[NinjaproRkos]

Name: Take a chance!

Rule: Once per game, each player can flip a coin and call it. If they call it right, they will be able to heal a point of damage, regardless if they have more damage or not. If they called it wrong, then they must take 1 damage. Trigger effects will not be activated and effects that activate when damage is placed in damage zone will not go off.(Ex. Freeze ray dragon, Gabriel, etc)
They may only get to flip this coin at the beginning of their own turn.

(prob best for round 1)

Rule: At the beginning of the match, before revealing their starting vanguards, both players declare the clan they are using, they then declares 1 grade 4 for their opponent, they are allowed to say g-guardians too. From that point on, players cannot use the stride that was declared from their opponent for the rest of game.
