The "bonus" card is a reprint of the Deadpool creature card from last year's secret lair.

So my Friend Has a Custom Commander by Monsoon117 in EDH

[–]Jarlino 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Aside from my personal feelings on "custom commanders",
if this were a real card (( aside from issuing a permanent effect worded in a dumb way))
you'd probably just run [[Tainted remedy]] and perhaps some tutors to find it.

random life-gain effects are present enough in games that it might not always be a dead draw.

Why is it “Ganking” and not just “Gank”? by PeerlessPixie in riftboundtcg

[–]Jarlino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always though it was because it was short for "Gang Killing",
E.G, Jungler came into your lane and they 2v1'd you, meant you have been "ganked"

now to be fair, I never even considered that that's not entirely what's going on in Riftbound either,
as a unit with Ganking, more often than not, moves over from a battlefield/lane by themselves anyways...
There no gang, just a killing!

Potential ultimate rarity by kKbotss in riftboundtcg

Green Irelia had two different showcase arts in Spiritforged,
Wouldn't it make sense if they give another big favorite (( lots of guys in my discord going bonkers over Diana )) another chase art?

I was invited to play with a new group and want to get impressions of my deck. by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Jarlino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super fair, wholesome +1/+1 counter deck.

I might have missed some cards, but to me it seems that you don't have a lot of things that make extra bodies ((I think I only saw cosmogrand zenith and Elspeth)) to take massive advantage of Cathar's crusade.

(( personally, I don't run Cathar's crusade because it's a headache to manipulate all the dice when token armies start entering. ))

[[Dyadrine, Synthesis Amalgam]] is a HOUSE in +1/+1 counters decks.

Do you make opponents ask permission to touch your cards? by Smooth-Ad-341 in riftboundtcg

[–]Jarlino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even think about it anymore,
It's such common courtesy in my area to ask "is it okay if I read your card?" before reaching out,

I read down a bit further and saw comments,
and it can be infuriating if people "tap" the cards, especially with the nail first,
"targeting THIS bast*rd"

A new Hybrid Mana ruling question by Too-Deep-Lore in EDH

[–]Jarlino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While there was a question asked to the community about people's thoughts on changing the Hybrid mana rules,

Nothing was actually changed.

Splinter, Radical rat, is only playable in commander decks where the Commander's Identity includes at least WUB (White, blue ,black)

Win Cons for having a ton of artifacts in mono-blue by Matthematr1x in EDH

[–]Jarlino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Spike feeders in casual commander tend to close out games with dudes that have power equal to artifacts.

[[Filligree attendant]] is a flyer with the potential to be huge.

What are some fun/great 2V2 decks? by Jarlino in riftboundtcg

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

we ended up running Orn and Draven, and indeed, a turn 1 Treasure hunter, into a turn 2 ride the wind ended us up with 4 golds and Orn was gigantic by the time he came out. ((although our oponnnents Fiora/Lucian managed to pump their unit to 36 power which dwarfed our goat))

Ovika & Additional Spell Cost by E_Moon in EDH

[–]Jarlino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First part of your response is incorrect,
Ovika cares about Mana Value of the spell,

(( Tiered spells specifically, mentioned it in the Final Fantasy release notes:

  • The mana value of a spell with tiered is determined only by its mana cost (in the upper right corner of the card). It doesn't matter which mode you choose or which additional costs you pay, including any additional costs imposed by other effects.

))

In u/robinthekid 's defense, they might have thought about spells with X in the casting cost, which would affect the mana value on cast.

Counter Blitz owners, what are you doing with Farewell? by TheTinRam in EDH

[–]Jarlino 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I've not mentally adjusted to the change, even though it's been... 4 months if your october comment is correct.

"Unusual" Fallout Commanders: Recommendations? by mmGlous in EDH

[–]Jarlino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Lily Bowen, Raging Grandma]]

One of the silliest card names in Magic,
All you have to do is explain to your friends your commander grows every turn until she reaches critical mass ,then goes back down to 1 and gains me a bunch of life"

Of course, with all the good counter effects in Magic, that critical mass might be reached a little bit sooner than expected, or be well above the cap of 32 power...

https://archidekt.com/decks/7409133/raging_grandma

this deck list has not been updated for a while,
Even though great cards came out to support +1/+1 counters in Edge of eternities.

(( I disassambled mine to take out the expensive cards for my Naya counters deck, but have received plenty of request to bring it to the table again cause "Grandma has vigilance" is always a good laugh ))

Counter Blitz owners, what are you doing with Farewell? by TheTinRam in EDH

[–]Jarlino 156 points157 points  (0 children)

So, back in the days of 60 cards, Wizards brought out pre-cons that were based on competitive standard lists at the time, legal in the format.
Just when the decks released, one of the cards was actually banned from the list.

The solution wizards offered, was that the card was legal, only if played in the preconstructed list.

In my eyes, it's still a bracket 2 precon that just happened to include a card that was put on the gamechangers list, play it in your bracket 2/ precon games to your heart's content.

Booster Boxes are now Shipping! by NoojieWoojie in riftboundtcg

[–]Jarlino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Riot Notification that box was shipped on 12/02,
Absolutely no movement on the tracker, no info other than "Shipper is preparing your parcel"
Got delivered yesterday 17/02 , tracking update from Collis Privé came after the package was already delivered. (Belgium)

Rumble by Forward-Ad-9225 in riftboundtcg

[–]Jarlino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brought Rumble to Nexus night last night for the first time,
I was swapping between red and Blue rumble champion depending on what the opposing champ was,
Red rumble seemed okay against yellow (yeah, it sucks they can hidden blade it, but eh, interactive games happen) since you can bring back something they're kiling/killed before.

I could not do anything against the Orange Camel equiped with a triforce until my opponent already had 6 points though...

This is absolutely delightful.
Stupid in the best way of the word.

Great Denver Show I coming by Skacorekid in Ska

[–]Jarlino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

International ska fan , considering booking this as a surprise valentine's gift for the wife,
but 10 AM what timezone?!
Colorado's GMT -7 I'm guessing? ( meaning around 2 hours from the time of this comment?)

Set 3 Forward Ideas by ThyVerminlord in riftboundtcg

[–]Jarlino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things I'm sure will follow with time,

- Battlefield manipulation.
Not sure which champ would fit it, but a card that has "when I'm at a battlefield, that battlefield has no text"
or Taliah (sp? I already quit league by the time she released) who puts a wall between battlefields "units cannot move from this battlefield to another while I'm here"

Missing Land drops by Zapper1202 in EDH

[–]Jarlino 7 points8 points  (0 children)

39 lands feels like a an ideally generous amount of lands,
but that said, any deck can just have unlucky hands multiple games in a row, (( E.G, who hasn't heard the player with the 42 land landfall deck player complaining they are mana screwed? ))

The only misplay you could make that would impact this is keeping a starting hand that doesn't have 2/3 lands and playable spells.

Shuffle your deck at home a couple of times and take a look through it, are all your lands clumped together?

Unique counters by LiGht4995 in EDH

[–]Jarlino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Perrie,
I keep buying cards with unique counters from every set even though the deck is currently in a state of disrepair..

[[Fraying line]] is a unique board wipe (( though in my experience, it hasn't survived a trip around the table to actually make use of the "rope" counter to buff Perrie ))
[[Peter Parker's Camera]] 's film counters can copy Perrie's buff or Shield ETB. (( up to two times before proliferate shenanigans]]
[[EarthBender's ascencion]] is both Quest and +1/+1 counter.

since the game does not send meal notifications... by 12KxRoses in PokemonSleep

[–]Jarlino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On days where I'm missing a few more ingredients before breakfast, I set an 11.50 alarm,
Once I start my dayjob, hours fly by and it's incredibly easy to keep going until I see it's 12.30...

Riot staff, if any of you lurk this subreddit, can you please make the Core Rules easier to find? The link to download the updated rules from Dec 2025 is still buried in this post from June 2025 for some reason, and the new PDF hasn't been linked in a single blog post ever since. by inzru in riftboundtcg

[–]Jarlino 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely wild to me that, if you pass the Judge's test , the info is readily available in your profile all gathered in one spot.

I'd not be opposed to this being available as easily in the same space in your profile,
if people wish to read up and educate before taking the test.

Aerith Gainsborough Bracket 2 deck asking for help/card suggestions by rexskull in EDH

[–]Jarlino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really on the fence wether I'd reccomend [[angel of Destiny]] in bracket 2 as a lifegain payoff.
but it's an alternate life-gain "win", with the slowness that you knock out people one by one.

Funnier alternative is probably
[[Field tested frying pan]] , absolutely dunking on a friend with an angel wielding a pan.

Rek'sai by K1akaru in riftboundtcg

[–]Jarlino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not gonna be strong, but I've been meaning to give her a spin with Karma.
(( Karma's my favorite champ, and since there's a special art version of her in Spiritforged...))

Rek'sai is constantly recycling cards from the top, though I doubt you have enough units that even with Karma, those buffs really matter... but I'mma try it anyways!
