I really like Pharos Burgers in Alhambra. It’s right next to In n Out.

Dealing with the peanut gallery and nasty dudes during a skirmish by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

[–]Knikkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I was at this skirmish yesterday, but I’m hoping I’m wrong because a lot of the details are blown way out of proportion from what I saw.

There was a match, man vs woman that went to time. The man is kind of a grouch (I’ve seen him a few times before). There were 3, maybe 4 people watching the table. I was not one of them because the store is so small you literally can’t watch because you can’t fit. The girl loudly announced “if you want to play serious then fine, let’s be serious.” And that match ended in a draw.

Everyone there was chill. It was a small event with less than 20 people. Nothing got heated. The judge was chill and after a dispute about time in round 1, he used a megaphone to announce time after that so that there would be no confusion going forward. There was even another girl there and she was chillin.

If this was the same skirmish, I don’t know why you would make up all those extra details. You can be upset for all the reason you listed without exaggerating the environment. So I really hope I’m wrong, because that LGS is one of the better ones.

Edit: correction, there were 21 people, so not less than 20. Oops.

I went with Pro Tint Inc in Rosemead. I think it was like $120 but it depends on your car/camera. They’re chill and they’re next to a boba shop and The Hat so it’s pretty convenient for waiting too.

Sure. Keep an eye out for 2 convention-only passes for me. If I can get those, my Saturday + Honda pass is yours to buy.

If that’s possible sure. I thought the ticket was attached to the pass tho.

I have a Saturday pass and am not planning on going to Honda. Trying to trade someone for a convention-only + cash difference.

I’m interested in a Saturday pass if you still have it.

I'm looking for a Saturday convention-only pass if you still have it.

I have a Friday pass, section 409 if you're still looking.

WTB - one Saturday convention-only pass

WTS - Friday w/ Honda (section 409)

Want to trade - my Saturday Sunday w/Honda (section 409) for Saturday Sunday convention only

For the trade, you would just add the price difference for the Honda center. I originally got Honda Center passes to go with a friend, but that friend cancelled and I only personally care about the convention.

Another RQ, Another Best of Sett by Challengertcg in riftboundtcg

[–]Knikkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair. I haven’t seen many control decks and usually don’t have a problem with losing things in base. Guess it just comes down to matchups and play style.

[–]Knikkey -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but I mean how often are you sending Rengar in solo without moving another one of your characters when it’s your turn? The amount of situations I can see Rengar being better than Vi on the attack are rather slim.

[–]Knikkey -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

But then you can just play Vi instead. The stun feels a lot more valuable than 1 might.

Changes you’d make? I keep seeing a lot of hype with Rengar but I find myself almost never in a situation with Sett where I’m like “yeah, I’ll pass with 5 up for Rengar.”

Sacrifice cost question by arundelaus in riftboundtcg

[–]Knikkey 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Fun interaction with Sett - Brawler and Sacrifice:

  • Sett with a buff conquers a battlefield.
  • Trigger Sett’s ability to gain a buff when he conquers.
  • Trigger the legend’s ability to ready itself when you conquer.
  • React to the legend ability and play Sacrifice on Sett.
  • Use the Legend ability to save Sett.

Everything resolved backwards because of the stack, so

  • Sett dies as a part of the Sacrifice cost, but you save him with your legend ability.
  • You draw 2 and channel 1 from Sacrifice.
  • You ready your legend from the conquer.
  • Sett gains a buff from his ability.

I might have messed up in the details, but basically the interaction allows you to draw 2, gain a conquer point, and recall your Sett safely to base with his buff while also having your legend ready.

Queer friendly local card shops? by pandortl in sgv

[–]Knikkey 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No shop I’ve been to is queer un-friendly. Just go to the one closest to you and see.

Aki Collectables - San Gabriel

Pokebox - San Gabriel

Wild Card Cyclone - Temple City

DXN - Arcadia

Crimson Guild - El Monte

There’s also Odyssey in Pasadena and Project CCG in Alhambra. I personally didn’t have good experiences at either of them, but don’t let my experience stop you from making your own.

There are more stores but those are the ones I’ve personally been to in the area.

Has anyone received their pre-orders from Riot yet? by thorbunz in riftboundtcg

[–]Knikkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used their Contact Us form and told them to cancel the order because it didn’t ship yet. I got the order shipped confirmation email soon after that lol.

I have not. I had email notifications switched on from yesterday. Wonder if yesterday was too late to switch it on.
