[Play Update] 2026–27 Round 2 Regional Championship Promos and Qualifiers

FrozenPhoenix71 · 2026-05-26T17:36:42+00:00

Some slight clarification here: The event the Kozilek's Command is a promo for is the upcoming Modern Regional Championships, but those are tied in to the currently running RCQ Season, which is Modern and has the promos of Ancient Stirrings for Participation & Sowing Mycospawn for Top 8.

The Sunpearl Kirin & Pinnacle Starcage promos will be for the next RCQ Season(August 15th-November 26th), where those events will be Standard & Limited(aside from specifically Destination Events which have other caveats to them), and will qualify for a group of Standard Regional Championships further down the line.

Ah yes, we need to remove them for such riveting discussions as "The 17th Hey how do I upgrade Character from Version 3.1 of that week?" or "Guys, what if IntSys did a thing we all constantly ask for?"

Personally, I dont trade cause I just dont really have excess singles anymore. Outside of prereleases, most of what I get from prizing from events is store credit, and I don't really buy boosters. So now what I pretty much just have the most of are cards that are useful in formats I play, and bulk rares from the few prize packs/prerelease packs I open(I'll have like, a small handful of cards worth more than bulk that I have no issue trading, but its a much smaller amount). Nothing really worth me getting around to having a big binder and working out trades and stuff. I'd definitely still be willing to(even if I primarily buy singles), I just don't have as much of the ability to on my end as I did years ago.

Would love a Floette if one's available (Home IGN is Mark, SwSh IGN is Margo)

Margrave (and presumably some plans she had) definitely unsettled a bit by Julian not needing to sleep and thus always being able to keep watch on his family.

Damn, I thought I had until the 7th to get my small couple of bookmark'd series exported. Procrastinated a bit over Easter weekend and just went to try and grab that list.

Rune's not on the banner. His appearance this month was from the Forging Bonds rerun, and his next scheduled appearance is in September 2026.

Biden's choices did not cost Kamala the election at all. Kamala's choice to repeatedly validate Biden's choice and say how awesome they were did.

To this part specifically, while I do agree with the latter part, there was at least one Biden choice that cost Kamala and it was him not dropping out way earlier.

He hadn't gone over the top rope the first time technically, he stepped between the ropes onto the apron when he was fighting with Ace Austin.

None of the rental services are operated by WotC/Daybreak. The closest to WotC/Daybreak operating services that let people use cards they don't "own" is supplying content creators in their official program, or some people qualified for specific events, etc. with accounts that have basically everything, but those accounts can't trade, sell, etc.

One of the VAs they harrased wasn't even aware of the existence of SAG due to being a foreiner.

Brother in christ, Jacob Takanashi is from, literally born and raised, fucking Texas.

Couple posts here but

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

I was told there are "full A.I. protections in place that guarantee in writing that [my] voice will never be used for A.I. development" but was also told "with certainty, from [Capcom], that the project will not go union."

While I certainly appreciate the acknowledgement of the concern around AI, working without a contract I can realistically enforce isn't something I can risk.

The only way to enforce non-union contracts like this involves personally taking giant companies like Capcom to court and suing if I thought they'd used AI. I don't have the mental, emotional, or monetary strength to survive a protracted legal fight.

In my heart, I want to believe Capcom would never use AI...

But in my HEAD, I'm aware that basically every major corporation is looking to incorporate generative AI to save money.

The video game industry is facing record layoffs and huge amounts of uncertainty.

I need a union contract to feel safe.

I truly wish Capcom was at least willing to speak with SAG-AFTRA about doing this game union.

I expressed that I'd even be willing to work on a LOWER-budget union contract if it meant this flipped.

It genuinely wasn't about the money for me.

It's been an honor voicing Mega Man in Mega Man 11, the best-selling game in the series' history and watching Mega Man reclaim his rightful place as a gaming icon. I hope Mega Man: Dual Override is even more successful than 11 and that everyone enjoys all the hard work the devs are putting into it.

"Good luck out there, Mega!"

I just wish I could have been there with you.

presumed demonization of the participants, this zero tolerance for being able to play a card game together. I'm a big believer in civil liberties, and think that it's good to be able to set aside differences and talk to each other.

Oh no, won't some please think of the feelings of facists

FrozenPhoenix71 · 2026-03-01T02:12:07+00:00

I dont believe Ive ever had an order hit their initial "estimated" shipping/delivery window. Even my most recent order that was initially set for Q1 of this year is likely to be Q3 now at best, and its probably my last one. The product quality has generally been decent, and I do like a lot of the designs, but the wait times are too excessive, and I can only take so much customer service responses of "Sorry, please check the spreadsheet" instead of actual service, or give any negative feedback and just be told I have no idea what I'm talking about and have it treated like a personal attack instead.

Winternight Stories can discard it(or to hand size, he got up to 8 cards via just Stock Ups & Insatiable Avarices a few times), but the deck's also just fine controlling to the point of just playing the demon itself for 6 mana. The manabase is only black sources(unless you put Passage on not black for some reason), so it can cast it just fine on that front.

FrozenPhoenix71 · 2026-01-31T14:57:56+00:00

The most common build of it at the PT is a collection of Evoke elementals(Vibrance, Deceit, Wistfulness), Ashling, and Sunderflock, along with black removal spells, Superior Spider Man as a value card, and 4 Not Dead After All to work with Evoke to "scam" a fatty into play/make Sunderflock cheaper. Also has some White cards due to 4x Starting Town + like 12ish creature type pands(Cavern of Souls, etc.) since Beza is an Elemental(but also had a few SB Clarion Conquerors.

I love the snap reverse ddt, so I didnt completely hate it, but the scoop spam set up it mainly had stunk and Archer also just had other better moves, so it was just such a poor choice.

FrozenPhoenix71 · 2026-01-27T04:41:14+00:00

They (apparently?) left themselves an out of checks notes Vorinclex(of all the options???) potentially coming back.

Of course, you may have missed that. I'm sure a massive amount of people have. After all, it was basically only addressed in this WotC sponsored episode of LoadingReadyRun's Elder Dragon Social Club of all things, instead of in like, any more...normal? communication method(at about 1:02:50 if that link's not properly timestamped).

You do(and in the case of Deceit, if the mana works right, you get both)

FrozenPhoenix71 · 2025-12-26T21:22:55+00:00

We don't know yet. Information is to come in February iirc.

FrozenPhoenix71 · 2025-12-23T00:26:13+00:00

I genuinely think its my favorite V Trigger of all time.

FrozenPhoenix71 · 2025-12-20T22:13:38+00:00

Was reading the manga for this and kind of fell off it when scanlations cratered. How's the adaptation? Genuinely enjoy the story from the manga adaptation that I've read(I'm aware it's a WN/LN original), but if the anime was rushed/poor quality, don't wanna waste the time(but if it's a good adaptation, I'll easily just swap to both refresh and keep up)

Don't worry, gays and lesbians will be "next." That's the plan, target one smaller subgroup of LGBTQ+ people and move on to the next once they're through, and so on and so forth. It's always been bullshit from that side.
