The Rubric Update
We're pleased to announce the biggest change in the academy thus far, the Rubric Update. Our Testing Rubric now has much better testing guidelines and is a lot clearer about how a tester will fill out the Rubric after testing someone. We've also removed some unecessary repeated clutter in the questions, and now have less subjective and opinion-based subjects. New explanatory descriptions have been added as well, under each question on the Rubric is a description of how it should be answered.
The Pre-made Deck Update
The new Pre-made Decks for mirror match duels involving the test to be placed in a dorm, and to become a tester now have been changed and will be much more suited for the task. The new decks are: Plus One Fire, Gravekeepers, Madolche, and Geargia. The decks that have been removed are: Lightsworn, Wind, Physic, Burning Abyss, and Water. Please remember that all testers MUST become familiar with all of the NEW decks whenever possible, as the player who takes the test is now allowed to choose which deck is used for their test duel.
Challenges & Cards of the Week
Challenge of the Week and Card of the Week have now been reinstated, there will be a new Card and Challenge for each week every Sunday.
Those are all of the updates and changes to the academy site thus far. Feel free to give any feedback you have, thank you for your patience.
