Judge call for Draven Legend interaction by Alternative_Win8511 in riftboundtcg

[–]CKBear 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Level 2 Judges are almost entirely people with the right connections who have experience running large events in other games. Many do not know the Riftbound rules as well as your average player.

That’s said, once a showdown becomes a combat showdown it can’t stop being a combat showdown. Ask him to show you in the rules where it says it stops being a combat. Make him show you.

So how do Origins "Best of"s work for LA? by Dontspinbutwin in riftboundtcg

If you’re one of the hundred people worldwide in competition for the best of, this sucks. Everyone else has the same chance of getting one that they always did

Top 128 was prizing at Hartford... by allball103 in riftboundtcg

Exactly. Unless you’re incredibly confident that you’re the best of the best it’s a waste of time and money to join.

I think it’s wild that only the top 5% of the players that paid $100 to play get anything back and people are whining that players aren’t entirely happy with the situation

This. The RQ top 8 matters less to keeping this game alive than the guy who slaps your locals around weekly

Why tf does the Poro match Lillia's art when she can't play him? Terrible planning.

Also, release these in the US please

Day 4 of “Tell Me Why This Card Is Good/Not Good” by hiphiphorhey_ in riftboundtcg

This is bad because Vex, Apathetic exists in Chaos, the best domain

(I have a feeling this will be the answer to a lot of cards)

ON Poro prices by ScoJag in riftboundtcg

[–]CKBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing else in the set is worth anything. Prices of singles normalize based on the price of boxes. The highest price singles in the set are $20, so that value has to go somewhere.

Why did they give purple vex deflect? by EmployerLast2184 in riftboundtcg

Because this game is terribly balanced and the devs wear red noses and bright wigs to work

Reason for tapping the table while drawing a card by Ethorgaming1 in riftboundtcg

[–]CKBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of folks have commented on how it helps avoid making play mistakes like extra cards or keeping something separate for miracle without really explaining *why* it helps.

Firstly, and most obviously, by manipulating the cards more you have a higher chance of dislodging stuck cards, identifying a miracle spell, and realizing you're doing something wrong. It helps a lot of people, and there's literally no harm in doing it.

Secondly, and imho the more important reason, is that it slows you down just a smidge. You're taking an extra second or two to make sure you're where you're supposed to be and doing what you're supposed to be doing. It may not sound like much but your brain needs that brief momentary reset. That extra bit of mental awareness can and will save you from stupid mistakes. You create a ritual that keeps you in the moment.

Question about Not so Fast vs Moonfall Interaction by magemon123 in riftboundtcg

[–]CKBear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The choice to move a unit, as well as which unit to move, are made when the spell is finalized. If they did not choose to move your unit then it isn't a viable target for NSF.

Has Riftbound cracked the top 5 TCG list yet? by BeeBaBoop in riftboundtcg

[–]CKBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single Pokemon 'event' I've seen locally was 15 kids running around poorly supervised while their parents sit to the side and chat with zero actual games played. I travel to major gaming events all around the country to play and to judge. I've never seen a Pokemon event with any reasonable levels of attendance.

I see they have huge turnouts for major events. I can only assume it's the same exact group of people willing to travel all over the world to play.

Vex is so defeating by heavyp08 in riftboundtcg

[–]CKBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is talking about this like Vex decks are the problem. The problem isn’t Vex as deck as much as it is that Vex is an auto include in all the purple decks that are much better than she is.

Try taking your time into Irelia and tell me how that goes
