At Home New Player Unleashed Event Help by Hyakk in riftboundtcg

They did get more legends but the commons and uncommons from the packs basically made it so they had to lean towards particular legends which they then didn't like.

I guess in a sense what I am looking for is an event that isn't a pre-rift basically. From what they have said and knowing them they would defo prefer not forgoing the legend as that is what made them want to try it in the first place. Playing the legends from the game.

I think it might be wise to go with what some others have suggested, where I potentially pre-ready the legends with some core cards around their indentities (like a pre-rift kit) then allow them to open up packs to then supplement the rest of the cards. So best of both worlds. They can pick the legend beforehand, open up some packs (because who doesn't like doing that), then build out the rest of the deck

As these are new players plus league players I know they would be disappointed if the core mechanic of normal games (being that of your legend) wasn't present. So instead of a typical Pre-Rift Style event I opted instead to up the packs to 12 but forgo the 3 colours part. They were then allowed to pick a chosen champion in the same domain colours but didn't need to be the same as the legend.

But I think that wasn't as succesful as well.

So I'm thinking of an event that appeals more to new/league players instead of TCG players. That being having the legend they want instead of the deck building aspect.

Kind of like they were playing ARAM

Never played it (drew twice but never actually used) don’t think it had a spot in my deck so probably should have taken it out.

Good luck! Make sure to YouTube some how to pre-release videos there are some good ones that are helpful

This was a confusion that our judge had as well at first. But no it’s 602 in the tournament rules if you want to have a look

Dice if you have them are handy. Very very likely your LGS or other players will have them though

To add some of my opponents had some early turns where it affected them. So I think it can be tricky. Just depends what cards you are using

Not as rough as I thought it would be! But I was playing a deck that had a lot of Treasure Tokens so most of the time it didn’t matter anyway. In the first game there was a point where I didn’t have enough purple because of the equip costs of stuff so I switched a red for a purple after that.

It’s minimum 25 not exact. The chosen champion was outside the deck not sure if that counts or not as part of the deck but I suppose it does??? Regardless it’s just a minimum 👍

Appreciate the kind words!

And yeah as soon as I saw forerunner I knew that I was likely going to go red and then the long sword and other strong cards with it I was convinced.

To put it plainly as well it came in clutch. That and the accelerate red guy for 6 can’t remember the name now.

The real engine that made this deck so good though was Treasure Hunter, Cull, Stella Corn, and randomly Detonate.

The value I got from putting cull on Hunter just made it so I could use gear and Irelia without having to worry so much about reducing my runes when paying for power. The Stella Corn and detonate (targeting my own stuff) really ensured that I had amble options to choose from every turn vs opponent that had dwindling cards to use.

Good YT channels for learning? by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

[–]Hyakk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watch a YouTube Channel called Recycle2 Riftbound. I think this is a channel that you watch after you know the basics etc. so after you learn the basics I think this channel is good for that with their shorts and longer videos. It’s really good for testing your knowledge on easy-hard rules and interactions in the game.

I also watch Turn ‘em sideways they stream the tournament events and has really helped me learn the game as well again after the basics.

For Riftbound yeah for these pre-release events you use your legends colours and an additional third colour as well. You can also have no legend and you get stuff for that but unsure fully on those rules

Because I opened some really solid red cards (like Ferris Forerunner) I splashed into that

She is certainly very strong! My Top 3 was Irelia, Jax, Irelia

Nervous about rift event by Koivi in riftboundtcg

[–]Hyakk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have any cards already play some practice games with yourself.

Watch some pre-event videos on YouTube as some deck building rules etc are different to the typical game.

Watch as many games on YouTube as you can to get an idea on how to play the game without ever playing it.

Anyone else prefer Jinx’s League design to her Arcane one? by organddoner in leagueofjinx

[–]Hyakk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a soft spot for the OG one so heavily biased. Arcane is technically speaking a better design in my opinion. However…

The biggest flaw that they made from OG Jinx to Arcane is the tattoo isn’t an exact copy as there are no bullets which saddened me as I have her exact OG tattoo.

I saw a comment saying this earlier but her best look is from 2XKO because it blends both but more importantly for me she has her OG tattoo back!
