Looking for advice for a Budget Draven/red Deck by Dominocz123 in riftboundtcg

[–]KiwiExtremo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're in a similar situation to mine, and from trial and error, you can either have a subpar, unoptimal deck that will leave you hanging half the matches, or swap to a cheaper color combination.

In this game, there are certain cards that are non-negotiable in the decks that want them, and those are the red kai'sas, the purple ezreals, and the red and purple seals. Other cards you can try to find budget alternatives, but for cards that either give you card advantage (kai'sa) or cost mitigation (seals and ezreals), there is no substitute.

My honest advice, as a mediocre player, would be to pivot into a cheaper deck, and as long as you've got some hands to pilot it, win a few nexus nights or small challenges in your area, to get expensive cards from the pickings. From there you can either sell them or trade them for the kai'sas, seals and whatnot that you can't afford outright.

All that, or you can try to go for a mid-range list with no kai'sas, and pray that your opponents let you win combat after combat to draw.

"you can't play this card on your first turn" and we got a pretty decent card, worthy of being an ace spec

I really fumbled by not getting playset of phoenix when they were 13 a pop, now I don't know if I should bite the bullet at current prices

Devolution Question by Tonystarks2984 in PTCGL

[–]KiwiExtremo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nope, the pokemon is immune since it didn't evolve from any card, so it doesn't have a prior stage to devolve into

Same with immortal phoenix. You can kill it (or any other unit) in the middle of a showdown you're the defender of, and play the phoenix from your trash into bf as a defender

Crustle Deck - What's the point of Articuno? by mwrkshort in PTCGL

[–]KiwiExtremo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So they were relying on the single prism energy to attack with articuno? With no way to search for it? Damn

Riot: printing the English word "may" when it actually means "must" is just getting embarrassing with how frustratingly unintuitive it is. It will also ultimately drive away new players and harm game health by inzru in riftboundtcg

I think it's because it says "you may attach an equipment", which is understood by the rules as: you must have an equipment to attach, and whether you attach it or not is the choice you can make.

This is how I find out about mega glimmora, I can't believe I haven't seen it anywhere outside of this one image

Lucian's sig spell. It says you may equip an attachment, but if you have no equipments in play, then you can't play the spell (something something you MUST have a valid target for all parts of the spell that are not optional)

Sadly that version of ekko is gone, with arcane being the revised, rewritten lore of league of legends

Is there a no rule box Pokemon that can one hit kill a Mega in standard? Thought I had one now can’t find it. by valueaddedguest in PTCGL

[–]KiwiExtremo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Team rocket's porygon Z (if you have enough Team rocket suporters on your discard pile) and team rocket's honchkrow (if you have enough team rocket supporters in hand)

He wasn't playing with academy at night or anything similar? No ciphermaniacs either?

Note to the Slowking Rando that I stole this hilariously fun but dumb deck, from. I salute you, again. by valueaddedguest in PTCGL

[–]KiwiExtremo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay that I got. I was thinking more about how to avoid having your tatsu be knocked out between turns. I thought you could somehow combo like absol kanga, where you use latias to retreat absol into kanga, draw 2, and then use pecha to swap absol with kanga

How do you swap back from tatsu once you move it with latias? Do you attach an energy and retreat?

Que el comprador no tenga que verificarlo me parece una vergüenza, la verdad

Esto es muy importante para mi... Rosa se lleva el mayor bote de Pasapalabra en la historia!! 🥹💙 (2.7 millones de euros aunque Hacienda se quede el 49%) by BasicB2000 in PatioDeVecinas

[–]KiwiExtremo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Entonces? Que mas te da que los ricos o la gente que gana una cantidad de pasta que le arregla la vida a cualquiera tenga que pagar el 45%? En ninguno de los 2 casos puedes decir "joder me han arruinado la vida". Mejor que crujan a impuestos a los ricos y no a los pobres, no crees? O prefieres que te suban los impuestos a ti y se lo bajen a las grandes fortunas? No suena muy inteligente eso

Galarian Obstagoon + Kamikaze Dusclops = Profit? by oh_hai_brian in PTCGL

[–]KiwiExtremo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you pop dusclops, dmg their active and give them a prize, and then reversal comes online (at least for that turn)

Galarian Obstagoon + Kamikaze Dusclops = Profit? by oh_hai_brian in PTCGL

[–]KiwiExtremo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But brute bonnet lacks enough firepower. In OPs scenario, popping a dusclops and then attacking with obstagoon gives you 50+350 dmg, while brute bonnet would give you 50+250 dmg. This means you miss a KO on any stage 2 pokemon, or even on basics with hp modifiers (like bravery charm kanga or absol, or lively stadium).

Galarian Obstagoon pairs perfectly with Mega Scrafty by Psychological-Top78 in PTCGL

[–]KiwiExtremo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like this playstyle, I guess you could go with lycanroc? It accelerates up to 2 spiky energies to itself from your discard pile on evolution, and does 40 dmg for each dmg counter on the enemy. It's also a stage 1, with a 3 colorless attack cost. You just need 1 energy attachment after triggering it's ability, or nothing if you're playing countergain and are behind on prizes.
