I've read the rules and the FAQ, but am still unclear as to the process.

In a 10 round game, I would have to have 9 different BFC Cards, and I play 1 each round?

And if this is the case, do all BFCs stay in the game the entire time?

Example- If I played Disbanded in round 1. Next, in round 2, I play Deep Shadows, In round 3, I play Atlantis Rising, Etc.

Is this, how this works?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

each player chooses one, and each turn (including the opponents turn) that player must abide by whatever the conditions are

Each player plays one battlefiend condition per game. Both players abide the conditions of each battlefield condition during the entire game.

And don't confuse the term "game" with "tournament". They are not synonymous. Games happen within a tournament.

A "round", as it's being used in this section, refers to one game in a tournament. If you are going to play three games in a tournament, that's three rounds.

You can use the number of battlefield conditions in a tournament that equal to "number of rounds - 1". So, if you are going to play in a three-game, or three round, tournament, then you bring two battlefield conditions.

Two battlefield conditions and one placeholder/dummy card.

How do you know which one to play? For example I might bring ordinary day and poor team work for a 3 round tourny.

Can I play ordinary day 3 times if I want? or just 2 or 1? Can I see what card my opponent is going to play for his team before I call out what bfc I want to use?

If each card can only be played once, can I bring two ordinary day cards? If I have a range team and someone wants to play deep shadows with there melee team, id probably want to play ordinary day. If I play ordinary day can he change his mind and play a different bfc to save his deep shadows for another game?

I don't understand how the process takes place.

Look at your opponent's team and either guess what they are going to play (and try to counter it) or pick something that hurts his build (or at least helps yours without helping him too much).

Nope, just once. And BFCs are unique by name, so you can only play 1 OD, period, not 1 from Mutant Mayhem, 1 from Legacy, etc.

No, you both reveal your BFCs simultaneously. You can ask him what he has played previous rounds, though (which may give you an idea what his strategy might be).

Nope, see above.

Nope. Like I said, you reveal BFCs at the same time and, once revealed, you are stuck playing what you layed down.

Hope that helps. Any other questions?

You cleared up a lot for me thanks , seems a shame though, I could end up wasting an OD on someone that isn't even using BFC.

I guess the best way to work around them is to have a themed team?

That's the risk you take

It is also one of the reason I very rarely use Ordinary Day. Even if I have a team that would be completely neutered by a particlar BFC (alt FF and Isolation, wildcard and Disbanded!, Stealth and Bright Lights, etc), I'll still pick BFCs that would help me and/or hinder my opponent rather than worry about trying to cancel my opponent's BFC with Ordinary Day. There is no guarantee OD will actually be of any help the round you use it and their is no guarantee you'll even need it the whole tournament. I'd guess I'd rather play something weird and fun (Low Gravity, Madness, etc) than waste a BFC on something that won't even necessarily do anything.

Yes and no. In my mind, building a balanced team that isn't completely shut down by any one BFC is a better work around. If your team does have a big weakness, the theme advantage can help, but there are sometimes... odd... interactions with BFCs and the theme team ignore (see the FAQ for some of the more common 'what happens if I ignore X' examples).

If you are going to plan around ignoring BFCs, I highly recommend playing BFCs that are only helpful to you or neutral; no negative effects. That way, you don't have to choose between ignoring your own BFC or your opponents.

Thanks, thats good advice
