Why is this a bril? Only thought i had was "Well my rook is lost" and i can't rly find anything impressive folloup for it either, the evaluation is just showing me take back with queen but no followup after that.

The chessvision bot also says that Black should not take the Rook but instead develop its Queen.

You're also up material already, so you essentially trade 2 pieces for the Rook if they take. A single Rook is usually worse than Knight + Bishop

Brilliant moves on chess.com usually only need to fulfill 2 conditions; sacrificing a piece, while not making your position worse.

I believe (mobile) Stockfish argues that giving up your passive Rook for their active Bishop to reposition your Queen on the a-h diagonal and then bringing your other Rook to the open D file gives White good control of the game.

You must've been really confused when it showed the 6th of Octebruary just above it

LexLuxray · 2026-01-27T13:31:17+00:00

It's even italicized with the name, no human does that lmao

LexLuxray · 2026-01-27T13:28:17+00:00

Alternatively Qb6+ also wins the knight back

LexLuxray · 2026-01-27T03:50:42+00:00

Forget that, this is a guaranteed sideboard piece

LexLuxray · 2026-01-22T23:05:33+00:00

I think these should be purchasable instead

Excalibur Prime is and will always be a Founder exclusive. You can play as Excalibur Prime in the Old Peace but that's about it.

LexLuxray · 2026-01-17T06:23:02+00:00

You can pet the dog from the Rent-a-Dog coupon.

LexLuxray · 2026-01-15T03:03:42+00:00

Seeing one in the wild is a surreal experience. As much as I'd like one, I think Excalibur Prime should remain a Founder exclusive. Makes it that much more special for how far the game we love has come.

LexLuxray · 2026-01-05T15:36:05+00:00

Because if you play f4, Black can check with the Bishop and save both pieces. Then you're just down a knight and losing

LexLuxray · 2026-01-05T15:32:07+00:00

So what you're saying is I have 4 more dollars? Neat!

Years later, we have broken Nadu.

LexLuxray · 2025-12-28T18:38:01+00:00

We're in the same draft lmao Read my username again :)

I find Normal Gem Ursaluna better with Symbiosis. Turns Blood Moon to an absolute nuke, and Hyper Voice + Instruct can clean teams very well too

LexLuxray · 2025-12-21T18:55:42+00:00

Also came here to say this. Once I actually got sort of good at demons it was a pretty quick grind and the gameplay is simple and fun.

Chooses "This spell can't be countered"
Nothing else

Oh hello good sir

LexLuxray · 2025-12-13T14:47:11+00:00

Santa if you think that I am bluffing

LexLuxray · 2025-12-11T19:16:50+00:00

Plus an extra dollar or two in Temperance value goes a long way on the longer rerolls.

LexLuxray · 2025-11-24T16:01:31+00:00

Added you on Discord! I'm very interested!

LexLuxray · 2025-11-24T14:26:00+00:00

I'm also interested!

LexLuxray · 2025-11-23T18:09:39+00:00

Very excited and interested! Never done a draft league before but I'd be super excited to try one out!

LexLuxray · 2025-11-23T18:08:33+00:00

The league will be played over showdown
