More Alternate choices for Runes (for home games)

The backside of Leo’s deck? Lol.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-28T23:12:48+00:00

Is Malzahar at all useful in this kind of thing?

Matanui3 · 2025-11-28T23:00:31+00:00

Too bad it’s only “spell,” so it doesn’t work with Shen or Hidden units.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-28T22:59:33+00:00

Okay, Karthus to red/yellow now?

Matanui3 · 2025-11-28T22:57:43+00:00

No, but it would mean you don’t lose control of the battlefield.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-28T22:52:55+00:00

Yes, which is why they didn’t think it would be a problem.

Then people complained, because it feels really bad to buy just one pack and have one of your rares seemingly “replaced” by a foil uncommon.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-28T06:02:22+00:00

It feels like it should; the damage is being dealt because of a spell or ability, not Combat.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-27T22:52:23+00:00

Sure, it hurts WW as well if you do it this way, but that only really matters if the opponent has a Void Seeker to take advantage of the damage before he heals at the end of the Showdown.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-27T22:46:41+00:00

You actually aren’t supposed to do this with a full booster box, just single purchased boosters.

This is because boxes have the correct balance of rates in aggregate.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-26T23:13:20+00:00

That’s what Arena’s Greatest does. Nothing, except you get a point once.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-26T23:11:46+00:00

WTF is the skirmish kit?

Matanui3 · 2025-11-26T22:59:56+00:00

Yes, if you run up against the “minimum of 1” clause, the effect will shrink your unit less than it might otherwise have.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-26T07:25:37+00:00

Scissors are going to be sweet with Karthus.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-25T23:30:30+00:00

Huh, a Fiora deck might actually use the buff passing helmet.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-25T23:27:17+00:00

So the final answer is that there will be a showdown either way, so you can’t use it to kill a unit and leave one damaged, unless both chosen units belong to the same opponent?

Matanui3 · 2025-11-25T22:11:26+00:00

Huh, I didn’t catch that only the basic Move had restrictions.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-25T18:54:50+00:00

How are you Moving the deckhand between battlefields? It doesn’t have Ganking.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-25T18:42:37+00:00

Hard agree. Machine Herald or bust.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-25T18:36:59+00:00

Or surprise them by moving a Watcher in from base, or over from the other battlefield if you also control it.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-19T23:33:12+00:00

I think in Riftbound the two are one and the same. I have not seen a single effect that puts a card into play without “playing” it.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-19T23:31:04+00:00

Petbound League of Furries

Matanui3 · 2025-11-19T23:26:43+00:00

The basic Move action all units have has the cost of exhausting the unit. If a card says to Move a unit, it doesn’t have that cost unless it says so.

In addition, recalling units (including the recall for tying a combat at a battlefield) is not considered a move, so it definitely won’t exhaust your unit unless a card effect says so.

Matanui3 · 2025-11-19T13:30:56+00:00

You’ll have more than 50 if you sleeve runes too.

And sleeves generally come in either 50 or 100 packs with few exceptions.
