!Shadow Arena Rules!

Shadow Arena is where you challenge people to a match (best 2 out of 3), following the current ban-list in Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.

Unlike BA, SA is NOT a "friendly" game where you and your opponent/s vs and the winner/s get 25 dp and you all live happily. It is a duel where you put your DP on the line and you get your opponent's DP if you win. You get the amount of DP you bet from your opponent and you lose the amount you bet if you lose.
Both players need to currently have the amount of DP bet in order for the duel to be counted.

The duel should be a match duel supporting the following rules:

Code:

Forbidden List: The most recent Forbidden List must be used
Allowed Cards: TCG/OCG
Time Limit: 180
“Enable Priority” must be off
“Don’t check deck” must be off
“Do not shuffle deck” must be off
Starting LP: 8000
Starting Hand: 5
Cards per Draw: 1

The winner of the duel should post the reply of the duel that he/she won (Using sendspace or mediafire to upload the duel is encouraged).SA win must be Posted in the SA section and no other place or it won't be accepted. After the posting, the loser confirms the BA by simply replying "confirmed" or "gg" or whatever he/she wants to say. Also the loser can post and confirm the loss and the winner can confirm the win too.

For this, you MUST have all replays and losing any of the replays will make the match invalid (Posting your wins only is still accepted e.g - you won 2-1 and you posted 2 replays both showing your win. but 1 lose and 1 win won't be accepted).

Winning a SA counts as a win towards your dueling record, awarded the amount of DP you bet +25 DP and also 5EXP
Losing a SA counts as a lose towards your dueling record and also lose the amount of DP you bet.

The following type of decks are forbidden to use:

Code:

FTK Decks.
Burn Decks.
Stall Decks.
Final Countdown.
Exodia Deck (except exodius decks)
Destiny Board deck (counts as stall)
Venom deck

You have to wait for 3 days until you can vs the same opponent again.

If your opponent didn't confirm then in 3 days, a moderator or an admin will watch the replays and award the winner.

If the players are having difficulties understanding who won, then a mod or admin will watch the replay and either come up with a winner or invalidate the SA.
