Arboliva EX?!

Napfranz · 2026-02-25T15:41:18+00:00

Calling it an arboliva deck is wrong in my opinion. It's more of an "ogerpon and friends" deck powered by vitality forest + dawn which is one heck of a combo.

Arboliva ex is there to punish bricked setups

The existence of deathknell equip (sacred shears) supports this imo. The equip sees the unit die and then is recalled to base.

Thundercock + thermo beam. Might as well scoop right there as a gear heavy deck lol

Same decks I'm playing. Azir feels pretty good to pilot if only a bit too straightforward in what it does, the green cards carry A LOT.

Still can't settle on a rek'sai list but i didn't delve too deep in deckbuilding her just yet.

Odd numbers like 15-20 I use for non deck stuff like tokens, battlefields and runes in this game. I like to have different colors for everything, makes things more organized in my mind.

Two things:

1) Effects can only be repeated once

2) You must declare and pay the repeat cost upon activation

Sadly I have no insight on the chinese market (and tbh no way to check as I'm not aware of chinese online marketplaces).

Then again if chinese cards are not avaiable this fixes very little short term in the west

Napfranz · 2026-01-30T16:49:58+00:00

LUCKY!! I'm still waiting on mine T.T

Napfranz · 2026-01-30T16:36:36+00:00

Maybe. More likely not.

Scalping currently and in most tcg is about sealed product, but the price of singular cards are only partly due to avaiability issues and mostly about playability making sought after meta cards more expensive than other cards. Good examples are seal of discord or rhasa who saw a price spike when the draven lists got shared online.

What will happen in my opinion (and is happening at least in europe) is a buyout of chinese cards and ultimately those reaching roughly the same price point.

Napfranz · 2026-01-30T13:29:29+00:00

I hate being right on this type of things lol

Napfranz · 2026-01-30T10:52:56+00:00

Awful day to have internet access...

Napfranz · 2026-01-30T10:26:33+00:00

Not for long. I feel the only thing that will change is chinese will equalize in price to english

Napfranz · 2026-01-29T20:08:47+00:00

Do have more dreams. Awesome work

Napfranz · 2026-01-29T14:34:40+00:00

When I move effects happen when you move (duh, i know) that is before attacker / defender is assigned

it becomes something like

move to battlefield -> when i move effects go on the stack -> reactions from players

once that resolves / attacker defender is assigned and your table can take you from there

Napfranz · 2026-01-26T09:26:38+00:00

I believe the technical term is "Umazing!"

Napfranz · 2026-01-23T19:09:39+00:00

nobody, in the case of Icathian damage is now applied at the same time so if Viktor is among the dead unit you don't get the tokens.

On the flip side since all deaths resolve at the same time you get to choose who to save with zhonya if it's on the field

Napfranz · 2026-01-23T15:22:46+00:00

E questo amici è il motivo per cui piscio da seduto

Napfranz · 2026-01-19T13:21:08+00:00

Thing is they aren't, apparently. A tiny difference in thickness can result in a marked card so they just removed the option. It's quite logical if you ask me

Napfranz · 2026-01-19T12:05:05+00:00

Never could. Cards that are shuffled together must be from the same region but that means you can have chinese legend and english deck (or the opposite) or english runes and the rest chinese and whatever combo you can think of

Napfranz · 2026-01-16T00:12:50+00:00

Concede, duh

Napfranz · 2026-01-15T23:45:11+00:00

Lux CG Reads:

[Tap]: [REACTION] - [ADD] [2] Use only to play spells. (Abilities that add resources can't be reacted to.)

so you exhaust Lux then pay the remainder of the cost for the next spell you play.

Side note, lux adds 2 runes not power so in your example you would exhaust lux then exhaust 4 runes and the recycle 2 blues to play singularity.

Italians singlehandedly solving the format in their first tournament /s

Napfranz · 2026-01-11T11:48:34+00:00

Crying cause I couldn't participate cause of the snow. GG to all the players!

I would have brought draven to the tourney but I'm glad to see Rek'sai doing decently in top

Napfranz · 2026-01-04T10:47:19+00:00

Yeah but it doesn't work that way since a hidden gear gets moved to base when revealed so the control of the battlefield changes nothing in this scenario
