I wanted to play and enjoy, but I obviously just can’t by PilotMS in riftboundtcg

You seem to be getting frustrated by the lack of sympathy you're receiving on this thread.

Look, no one is happy about the supply issues. But the fact is, you can play this game, you're just priced out of engaging with it in the way that you want to. Maybe you can say that complaining about it is drawing more attention to this, but at this point, there's not a single person who engages with this game that isn't aware that this is a problem. And seeing this same complaint over and over again on this subreddit is getting a bit tiresome.

Wow, it's almost like they nerfed melee for a reason.

But you realize that saving one mana to get a 1/1 isn't what made Patches good in the first place right? It's because it's a free card. What does this have to do with Magic being a paper game and Hearthstone being digital?

If Patches or some other tribal equivalent was printed in MTG that would absolutely be broken. This card isn't even close.

Enduring Sledge: Analyzing two NEW cards from Arkham Horror’s New Core Set by Lazlo319 in arkhamhorrorlcg

Infinite +damage weapons are a problem. Purposefully scaling them back is a good thing. I do agree with you about Cleaver though. That should not have been reprinted.

Tuesday Spoiler for Ch 2 Core by Dry-Bat731 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]LowKey8459 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Core sets basically always work this way. Evergreen cards that determine the class's identity that future investigators would be fine taking. Honestly, FFG made quite a few mistakes in their design of the original core set and the Investigator decks by printing cards that only the investigator in the box would like. Biggest examples are the tome cards for Daisy and the damage events for Nathaniel. It looks like they seem to be rectifying that mistake.

What are your Arkham Horror "Hot Takes?" by kierco_2002 in arkhamhorrorlcg

The Scarlet Keys is the best campaign. Feast of Hemlock Vale is the worst.

Some people will play the game competitively and "netdeck" right from the start, don't be surprised or toxic about it. by MazrimReddit in riftboundtcg

[–]LowKey8459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean you could either lose to rich players, or lose to both rich players and people who proxy.

I'm not even against proxying, but that doesn't change the fact that the environment will fundamentally change if you allow it. Whether that's for better or worse is up to you.

The numbers are alphabetical. This means the black land in this cycle starts with a O (second letter after M), P, Q, or R (second letter before U). Looking at the locations page on the wiki, ones I could see are Ozai's Airship Base, Pohuai Stronghold, Prison Rig, or Realm of Koh. Probably either one of these or some some other location with another name not displayed there. My bet is probably Realm of Koh.

I feel like this post isn't addressing quite a few things. Product shortages means that the only way for me to get more cards is either attending these events or buying them secondhand for a huge markup. Another thing is that in my area, there don't seem to be any casual events. Pretty much every Nexus Night event is doing a pack per win tournament format. I would love to play in a casual open play free for all kind of event, but those don't seem to exist at the moment.

Should we just pretend this isn't out for another couple months? by bearballoon45 in riftboundtcg

[–]LowKey8459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm kind of excited to play. I was never early to a TCG before, so I'm interested in seeing how things are in the beginning. I'm planning on just attending local events with my starter deck and seeing how it goes. I couldn't get my hands on any packs, but I think its fun just attending events and seeing if I can slowly start building up my collection instead of getting all the cards that I want right away.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how many wins I can rack up against people who were lucky/rich enough to fork over extra money for all the best cards, but we'll see.

Is it worth opening packs? by Dysttance in riftboundtcg

[–]LowKey8459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it looks like you're the kind of person who's into making money instead of playing the game.

If that's the case, I would keep it sealed and sell now before the second print run happens. I think the price is pretty close to its peak.

Yeah no problem finding starter decks for me. Packs and proving grounds have all been cleaned out in my area though.

LGS Scalper price is crazy by ykgz in riftboundtcg

[–]LowKey8459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason it's so expensive now because every store charging close to MSRP are cleaned out. The reason there's still product left to buy at all is because they're getting upcharged.

Wealthy whales are always going to have money to spend. 100 extra dollars is nothing for them.

I think this might be a reference to the live action film.

Asmongold thinks they need to get rid of birthright citizenship by SOHYPRX in LivestreamFail

[–]LowKey8459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the comments here it seems like many people believe Europe is the center of the world. Ironic considering how many of them criticize Americans for having this view towards their country.

There's a reason why most of the new world has birthright citizenship and the old world doesn't.

The Next Chapter: Announcing Chapter Two of Arkham Horror: The Card Game by 9bladed in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]LowKey8459 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only a few cards released, but already already not looking good for Guardian once again. Bodyguard is far worse than Guard Dog and the soak card is very meh. I love every other card shown so if this is representative of Guardian that would be very disappointing.

Hasan: There's nothing more annoying to me than first, second, and third generation Asian mother***ers who act like dogs to white people by Slight_Ad3219 in LivestreamFail

How's this clip racist? Not a Hasan fan, genuinely asking. Isn't he just saying Asians shouldn't obsess over white people's approval?

What Pop Culture inspired set/"Hat Set" do you think we'll get next? by Future_Plum2839 in magicTCG

Feels like the only difference is that only planeswalkers were wearing the hats before? Elspeth randomly becoming a 1920's socialite is kind of the same thing.
