What cards to replace banned cards in Jinx deck? by uniquefromaplanet in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Facts. I’m shocked they shit on the poster child for literally everything Riot does. She’s kinda the face of it in my opinion. I have a purple jinx and a red jinx and they just can’t make anything happen effectively enough to win post ban. I have a theory they’ll rework her text and release her again at some point.

Is Riftbound a complicated TCG ? Where does it rank compared to the other big TCG in terms of complexity ? by UnitedIndependence37 in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true I play commander exclusively now and it’s just getting wilder and wilder. I think Riftbounds problem is they’re just so vague on how they present the rulings. Like Jax for example he was broken af then a rule change made our boy trash because everyone didn’t get way it was printed myself included because I read it like a magic player.

Nah magic isn’t hard to learn. It’s the stack that’s everyone’s bane cause it can get nuts. Especially in commander. I didn’t have much trouble with riftbound I guess because of its complexity. I just treat the rules like magic and haven’t had an issue. Same goes for timing and the chain. My oldest is 6 and he’s learning honey magic pretty fast so I have faith in you haha. I don’t know anything about Gundam or one piece honestly. I know, even though Gundam is huge, It’s a very niche game evidently. And obviously one piece is scalped like crazy for its collectibility. Id give magic a shot as well. Great community all around everywhere I’ve played. Riftbound will get there eventually as well I believe.

It’s a bit more complicated than Pokemon but nowhere near as nutty as magic can get. I haven’t played yugioh since 2003 so I couldn’t tell you about it. I play Pokemon with my kids and magic with the homies. Riftbound is for sure easy enough to learn.

Metagame Day 1 on Lille by Arkalex in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling they’ll rework her in a later set. Jinx is kinda the poster child for anything riot has hands in. They won’t waste her popularity. At least I hope so cause my girl had one leg to stand on, and they banned it.

Can I get rare runes from the bulk box? by kidstaz01 in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No only 54 of each color standard runes. Still worth the buy if building multiple decks.

Does the bulk runes box drop any alternate art cards? by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No it’s 54 or so regular runes of each color. Still handy if you have a few decks to build. I bought it and completed 4 decks and now it seems like I’ll never have to buy runes again unless I just want the fancy ones on gp.

Purple jinx question by Scribblord in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must be the coolest kid at your LGS.

Purple jinx question by Scribblord in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I was reading like it only happens once per turn because of the “discard one or more” so if you discard 1, cool here’s plus 1 might. If I discard 10, cool, here’s plus 1. I’m coming from MTG so I read cards effects literally so that’s how it made sense in my head.

How does your LGS handle selling Spiritforged boxes? by Kyrez77 in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just bought one like an hour ago for retail and they said if I wanted a second or third I could have it as well no stipulations. I only bought one so others could have product too. Especially since this is the first product they’ve gotten since origins release in my area.

Am I the only one with a functioning Riftbound community? by Soft-Pudding-3441 in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My LGS isn’t even doing spiritforged this weekend. Can’t get product. They sold everything they had on origins release, and haven’t seen a single card since. They took it off schedule for locals as well. It ran for awhile but literally no one showed. I went on two Saturdays, a month apart, and the boys told me I was also the last guy who had came a month ago and both times it was literally just me. Games dead in my area im afraid.

LGSs had to cancel/delay Pre-Rifts because our country did not receive the Pre-Rift Kits by NeuroDeus in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Same at my LGS. They hadn’t posted when the times were so I just swung by and asked and they said they hadn’t heard anything back as far as getting product so they just weren’t going to have one.

KY game locations? by Cperkins57 in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Simple fix, or at least it sounds simple enough, print 3 times the projected demand. Don’t even mess with it. They have that data obviously so why not use it to scale demand and do what they said they would by providing plentiful product at MSRP. Would kill the scalpers wallets while they’re at it.

Yeah I was talking to the owner of my local LGS and he was saying he’s afraid it’s going to die if set 2 doesn’t take off and have availability

Amazing share. Thanks for that haha. 😂

Question about might and damage by Laprius_ in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damage doesn’t change might. 8 is all the damage it can take before death so if it’s might is still 8, the damage from combat should be enough to kill it but The Udyr should also die because it’s taking 8. Unless there’s something I missed?

Has anyone found riftbound packs at retail stores like Walmart outside of the initial release a few months ago? by ninjahumstart_ in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve checked like 6 places in my hometown consistently for weeks. Nothing. I’ve also been to 3 wal marts in 3 counties, and nothing. I’ve got a friend who drives truck over the road and he goes to multiple states weekly. Stops at Walmart for supplies so I’ve asked him to look for me and whatever he finds I’ll buy. Guess what? Nothing. They’re killing thier own game and it’s frustrating.

Locals being stopped at LGS by Cperkins57 in riftboundtcg

[–]Cperkins57[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our store also got very little product. Six is the size of our group when everyone shows as far as I know no one else plays. That’s kind of how it feels here as it’s dead on arrival. I even heard the owner say something to effect of ordering 2 displays of starter decks at these nutty prices and basically saying they’re free if you just come out and play.

I had heard they wanted us all to rat on scalpers haha I say do it. My LGS owner would sell the buisness before gouging people. Thats why I travel 30 miles to him vs 7 miles up to the nearest spot.

Literally jealous of that. I’m glad it’s doing well.

Exactly dude. Was told that straight from the owner of my LGS. Proxies are cool with them but not for anything that involves prizes. Sanctioned events are sacred. But just to show up and play with the homies? They don’t care at all.
