TEAM OMBRA FEARLESS JOURNEY SWISS - Rules📜
Decklist Submission 📝
Decklists must be submitted through Limitless! Only the decklist you submit can be used during the tournament, and it will be your official deck for all games.
Note: If you notice your opponent using a different decklist, please contact a judge immediately. ⚠️
Tournament Check-in ⏰
Check-in begins one hour before the tournament start time. Players who fail to check in will be dropped from the tournament. 🚫
Round Check-in 🔄
- Players have 5 minutes to check in at the start of each round.
- Only check in when you are ready to play.
- If your opponent does not connect within the 5-minute check-in window, you win by default. However, the match can be reset only if the player who wins by default agrees to reset the match.
Swiss Rounds 🔀
Swiss rounds are Best-of-3 (BO3) matches lasting 45 minutes, with 5 minutes allocated for check-in at the start of each round.
Ties 🤝
- Matches can result in ties, worth one point each.
- If a round timer (45 minutes) concludes before a BO3 finishes, the match will automatically be a tie.
Important: If the BO3 finishes on time but results cannot be submitted quickly:
Call a judge immediately before the match ends, otherwise the match will be considered a tie even if it finishes within one minute after the time limit.
If additional minutes are allowed in the tournament, this will be communicated through our Discord channel. 📢
Connection Issues & Turn 0 Situations 🌐
Connection Issues ⚡
- If connection issues occur before the game starts, try to reconnect.
- If the issue occurs mid-game, the player with the Victory Screen wins. 🏆
- Always take a timestamped screenshot of your victory screen for dispute resolution. 📸
Turn 0 Situations 🚨
- Bug: If the screen shows "Empty history", a bug has occurred. Neither player wins. Report the issue to the staff and upload a screenshot to the #judge-screenshots channel.
- Intentional Forfeit: If your opponent forfeits intentionally, the screen will show "Match forfeited." You win automatically. Take a screenshot and upload it to the #judge-screenshots channel for confirmation.
Streaming 📺
Players are allowed to stream their matches, but:
- Enable a delay to prevent unfair advantages.
- Using stream information, such as seeing an opponent’s hand or receiving external advice, is strictly prohibited. 🚫
- Proven stream sniping will result in immediate disqualification. 🔴
Conduct and Rule Violations 🚨
Breaking rules, exploiting game bugs, or engaging in harassment or inappropriate behavior will result in penalties or disqualification.
- Guidelines:
- Be respectful and polite to players and judges. 🙏
- Comply with judge instructions to avoid sanctions. 📜

Avoid private messages for tournament-related queries. 🚫
