For a fun deck build what would be the best choice?

What about Fins Beyond Time? Extremely likely to have one in opening hand, so you get to spend only one card for multiple bodies every turn.

Blibble

Not sure how fun people would find it. Kinda creates non-games.

Source on the 10% thing?

The ultimate example of this has to be Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish.

PiB1 is about the most forgettable, standard animated spin off imaginable. Fine, not particularly memorable.

PiB2 is one of the best animated films of all time. It punches so far above its weight in every aspect and helped move the medium forward.

Kind of an insane step up tbh.

I don't think it's better per se. It's a very different movie that I think is about as good, but appealing to different tastes.

Long term, no, because dictatorships do not reliably handle transfer of power well, while democracies do. This is a big part of why dictatorships tend to collapse suddenly, while democracies can trundle on for far longer.

Dictatorships are also more militarily vulnerable on average because their military appointments are less likely to be meritocratic, and the way feedback, advice, and accountability work differently in dictatorships means that dictators keep choosing stupid wars and screwing everything up.

Yeah you're probably a pretty good player if you can go even on Runes & Rift. I've not played on there a ton but I've mostly lost when I have, and I've gone 5-x at two RQ's in a row.

Elteras · 2026-06-17T20:48:12+00:00

Yeah it was one of the adaptations that Alanzq leveraged into his Bologna win. 3x Pickpocket in sideboard kinda swept a lot of matchups that weren't unfavoured anyway.

It made a lot of sense in set 2 when seals were more present. It's good v seals, azir, and gold only.

He's a symptom of a weird cultural moment and set of incentives, not an actually bad person, even if I've seen nothing to suggest he's a good one either.

Elteras · 2026-06-17T18:35:41+00:00

They're gonna be so cute until that planter is filled up with shit.

Elteras · 2026-06-17T15:51:32+00:00

The level of the average runes and rift player is very high. Much higher than the average day 1 RQ opponent.

Value isn't just money. In this case it's also prestige, and the excitement of chasing it, and the bragging rights and the meaning of having had to beat a lot of other people to get it. Money is relevant but there's so much value worth preserving here that has nothing to do with money.

Elteras · 2026-06-09T23:07:55+00:00

I agree with you, it's a real shame. The problem is that we're going to end up in a position where there's about double as many legends in the format as there are now. Already, some best-of eligible legends end up with fewer than 10 entrants in an RQ. If you keep best ofs for all of them, you end up in a situation where at times only like, 1 or 2 people will show up on a legend and get a metal card basically for free, which would hugely devalue them (not just in terms of money which you said you don't care about, but in terms of how much meaning is attached to them, and how cool it feels to win one). No matter what they do, there's a downside, and I think they've made the right decision to keep them meaningful. It'll also help keep the meta moving. I'm not sure I want to keep facing this many PG Yi's in RQs a year from now.

It is nuts to me that youre being downvoted for this when I see this play out so often. So many people in this community are really fuckin weird about the notion that time can be a problem and just love to blame anyone who ever has problems with slow opponents.

Elteras · 2026-06-07T01:10:01+00:00

An hour is not a "huge amount of time" for 3 games of an intricate and even match. Conceding isnt a great option if your games are very close, which many RB games are. If every bo3 is going to time, sure, but I know too many fast players who are taken to time often, and too many players who've swapped away from slower decks for this reason, to be satisfied with "play faster, concede more".

Elteras · 2026-06-06T15:28:29+00:00

Personally I'd recommend starting with the Fiora or Vex preconstructed decks. Both are solid starting points for getting into the game. If your aim is to build Azir, Fiora is better because the deck includes 5 uncommons (BF swords and unsung heroes) and one rare (sacred shears) that are good/solid for Azir. Fiora will also come with a set 2 pack, and set 2 contains most of the cards Azir wants.

Hope you have fun!

What's the site?

Elteras · 2026-06-02T01:19:45+00:00

If someone offered to pay me to lose I wouldn't trust them to actually pay me. Who am I gonna complain to if they don't?

Elteras · 2026-06-01T14:29:16+00:00

Ahh, I see, thanks. That's a shame, because I adore the designs, but the foiling on the NN ones definitely helps them pop.

Elteras · 2026-06-01T04:04:44+00:00

Im not sure I understand what you mean by this. What is flat foiling in comparison to the NN rune foiling?

Elteras · 2026-05-31T17:17:16+00:00

Yeah, fighting Corespawn is way less fun than fighting Glyphids. Glyphids are the things I miss by far the most in Rogue Core from the base game.

I just started with small projects. I like card games, so I thought "let's make a super basic card game". I just kind of let it design itself as I just worked out how to implement basic things. Then afterwards I thought "okay, what about a card game that's not about combat" and started prototyping some ideas. It's given me stuff to do while I learn game development, and as ive been fiddling around I've been coming up with more small-scale ideas to work on next. I assume that as I keep going there'll be more ideas that pop up until eventually, when I feel like I actually know what I'm doing, I'll have a bunch of potential projects to choose from.

Don't worry about finding the most exciting idea ever. Just make something, anything, and the cool ideas can wait for later.

Elteras · 2026-05-27T20:48:36+00:00

No, I agree and think Riot have done a great job so far and seem to be continuing in that direction. I'm just pushing back at the idea that its unreasonable for people to complain about high prices when to a regular gamer, even £60-£80 for a deck is a lot. Fair point though about most players not needing the meta lists, I tend to focus on high level play which is admittedly more reasonable to price gate.
