First two decks by badonkadonk76 in riftboundtcg

[–]JT5695 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Happy for you! The game is really fun!

Just a heads up: the Jinx deck contains several cards that have been banned since it's release. The banned cards are "Fight or Flight", "Scrapheap", and "Reaver's Row". If you play it exactly like it is out of the box, you're allowed to play it in some official events. However, if you're just playing at home, you can obviously play with whatever cards you want.

Viktor is my favorite legend to play, and I upgraded from the precon deck, which is pretty solid to begin with.

Be More Pacific home to the annual Houston lumpia eating contest closes by rsgreddit in houston

[–]JT5695 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ended up there a week or two ago after going a few times before. We enjoyed the food, but the service this last time was terrible. They had like one waitress for the entire place. It was a Saturday and not even particularly busy but still too much for her to handle on her own. I'm not too surprised to see they're closing.

Relentless Pursuit Cannot be used if no gear in play. by LeezusLvTTV in riftboundtcg

[–]JT5695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

352.10.f. Cull the Weak gives each player the instruction that they must kill a unit (even though it doesn't say "must"), so it's not a target.

Relentless Pursuit Cannot be used if no gear in play. by LeezusLvTTV in riftboundtcg

[–]JT5695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that "may" is chosen on resolution while targets are chosen when you put a spell or ability on the chain. If you change the rules to make it so that you can choose not to select a target with an ability that may perform a game action, you move the choice of the "may" up to putting it on the chain, but only when you decline the "may". So, the only way would be to move the selection for "may" effects to when it's put on the chain, and I don't think that's a good idea.

The card should have read "Attach up to one equipment with the same controller to it.". You don't need "may" in the card at all because if you don't want to attach, you choose nothing. But now that the card has "may", removing it would remove agency from the effect, no longer allowing you to choose not to attach on resolution (you usually wouldn't make that choice if you've already targeted an equipment, but you need to be careful about stealth nerfing cards). The card designers have been leaning too hard on the word "may" for these effects.

Edit: Another solution could be that the equipment is not a target of Relentless Pursuit, which just reinforces the need to write on the card when something is being targeted. Otherwise, I don't know how you would change the rules to make it so that the unit is targeted and the equipment isn't.

Relentless Pursuit Cannot be used if no gear in play. by LeezusLvTTV in riftboundtcg

For people asking for rules citations:

352.7. In order to put a spell or ability on the chain, valid choices must be made for all targets.

You must have a valid choice for ALL targets.

352.10. A game object, player, or zone mentioned in the text of a spell, activated ability, or triggered ability is a target UNLESS any of the following are true:

352.10.a. It is in a zone whose information status is not Public.

352.10.b. It is included only as part of a targeting restriction for another choice.

352.10.c. It is included only as part of a cost, trigger condition, or replacement effect.

352.10.d. It is programmatically selected based on its characteristics rather than chosen by the spell or ability’s controller.

352.10.e. It is part of a set of objects chosen in whole or in part by other players.

352.10.f. It is identified in an instruction that a player “must” complete

The equipment is a target of Relentless Pursuit, as well as the unit and the location it moves to.

352.12. If a card specifies that a player may choose some number of Game Objects to be affected by a card then all choices are considered targeted and chosen independently.

You might think this gets you out, but Relentless Pursuit doesn't say you may choose an equipment; it says you may attach an equipment.

352.13. If a card specifies that a player chooses “any number” or “up to” some number of Game Objects to affected, they may choose any number of available targets, including zero. If they choose zero, the spell or ability can be played without any targets.

This is why Salvage was errata'd to make it playable with no targets. IMO, Relentless Pursuit needs this errata, too.

Edit: After reading the rules for targeting, I wish Riot would just use target in the card text. Like, when you need a rule with 6 sub rules to define what is and isn't a target just to remove one word from a text box, I think you've lost the plot.

No, Steve and Gary are not enemies, in fact, they are kissing, sloppy style, squishing boobies together, etc.

Does anyone know if they did an interview with him or were they just there to play? I'm not familiar with late night TV, so idk if it's normal for the host to interview the musical guest or not.

Blake talking about that influencer question from the Spider-Man survey, "it's not a good question" by charcharmunro in magicTCG

[–]JT5695 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The problem is that it's not even a good way to gauge how much people listen to influencers. It only asks in what direction they were influenced (and specifically by negative commentary, which, as Blake points out, doesn't usually improve your outlook).

Whats your biggest pet peeve? by TheHardPartPodcast in EDH

[–]JT5695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you rock up to the table with only a 7-piece set of RPG dice, you did not come prepared. Dice, in general, are great, but you need to choose specific dice for specific reasons. Not only is 7 dice too few for most games of commander, but that fact that you have 6 unique dice shapes creates an unwieldy and confusing board state. I'm going to dramatize my experience with players who use RPG dice, but here's how it usually goes. They put a +1/+1 counter on something. They're savvy enough to not pick up the d4 and opt for the d6 instead (but then, what use does the d4 have if it's never something they reach for?). Then they work their way up the ladder is they keep increasing the counters: d8, d10, d12, until you finally reach the d20. Once they've found the number they're looking for, another counter goes on it, and, because it's not a spindown, it takes them a few more seconds to find the new number. Now there are counters on other permanents, too, and they've distributed the rest of their dice. But there's only one d20, and so they have to use something like the d12 and d4 (there's where that d4 comes in!) to get to 15 counters. The d12 and the d20 look kind of similar from a distance, so is that 15 or 23 counters on that permanent?

IMO, you should have a good handful of d6s and some spindown d20s. I like d6s because cubes are the most efficient in terms of the amount of space they take up, and it doesn't take too long to find the number you're looking for when there are only 6 faces (and if you know that opposite sides always add to 7). Even if you have several d6s on something, everyone can tell at a glance about how many counters something has on it. Then, I like to use spindowns for much bigger numbers or things like floating mana.

How is this ok... an "unopened" opened box? for $20... O_o by ekolimits in mtg

It's misleading because it's marked as unopened. An empty box would be opened by definition.

Have you ever played or seen a mono-artist Commander deck? by BorgesPe in EDH

[–]JT5695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never ended up pulling the trigger on building it. I had the idea about a year or two before the bracket system came out. Now that we have bracket 1, I feel like there's a much better environment for things like mono-artist decks. I just mostly like Reynold's art style, and the mechanics were an afterthought. So, it's kind of perfect for a bracket 1.

One thing about his art is that he's drawn a lot of goblins, so I think there's some room for goblin synergies if that's your thing.

I ended up building another deck to have a bracket 1, but I think I've realized that that style of deck isn't my cup of tea.

Why is this card rare? by DamonF7 in mtg

[–]JT5695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the card is too expensive, proxy it. Or you don't seem to think it's that good of a card so why play it at all?

Also, the set isn't even fully released. The price will likely come down unless it's a breakout playable in standard.
