... is a worse point. If you get vps from how your deck works for another player you don´t want to build it too complex.

From this point of view I agree, but ...

You will get to play something that you see "every day", and show your skill in playing various tier-1 decks.

I really prefer the non-swap version, because then you can play the tier-1 decks you want to play AND can risk to play something more fancy with secret tech that might work out to your favour because you made some cunning meta-game choices.

For what it's worth:

Tournament Rules, 3.1.5 wrote: 3.1.5 Multi-Deck System

Players are prohibited from making modifications to their decks between rounds unless the tournament uses the following multi-deck rules. The multi-deck system can be used at any tournament with fewer than 12 players (i.e., fewer than three tables). Organizers choosing to use this system must announce its use in advance of the tournament date. Players may choose to bring any number of tournament-legal decks to the tournament and/or extra cards to exchange with cards in their decks (also known as a sideboard in some games). Between rounds, players may freely switch decks (or cards in their decks). A tournament begun with the multi-deck system cannot admit more players between rounds if doing so would create a round with 12 or more players.

ok, but can We use some "unorthodox" rules to create special event for the EC?

For sanctioned events, or for unsanctioned events?
The answer for unsanctioned events is yes.

so, for sanctioned events: no????

Discussions about sanctioned events should also include Ginés (and probably go through emails or the national coordinator section of the forum)
