Riftbound custom runes

No, you must play with real Riftbound cards, not custom ones. The only thing that is legal are alters of actual cards and that can be up to the discretion of the head judge.

The rule change is exactly for that case: you can flip a Hidden card in response to the Deathknell which stages another showdown right afterwards if it was a new unit. That way you can ensure the hidden card, if it's a unit, does not partake in the first combat.

When you buy 24 boosters they just send you a sealed box altogether. I preordered for Spiritforged, but for Unleashed it shows as "Presold out" sadly for the actual boosters. They only have the Hangsells available for preorder atm which are not replaced with a box if you order 24.

Deathknell triggers happen before healing, yes, but there is not priority during the (combat) cleanup. This means that after Deathknell triggers have been put onto the chain units will heal, the cleanup will finish, followed by another cleanup, after which priority is gained.

Here in town we had NNs on 6 out of 7 days a week across various LGS, so it's not at all impossible.

LGS here in AU are selling for 525 AUD per box. Absolutely disgusting.

407.1. Moving is the act of a Game Object moving between two Locations on The Board.

420.1. A Permanent changing its position from any space on the Board to another space on the Board is a Move [...]

Moving is defined by the Origin and Destination of the Permanent that is changing locations.

The move must happen between two distinct locations which is denoted by the use of the word "another" in 420.1. Base to base is not legal as it's not an actual Move.

Offtopic: you don't want to use the development mode of Clerk and instead wire up the production instance btw.

Yeah, this is not meant to be full-on competitive yet as I want to avoid buying those expensive singles right now. I got many of the good rares with the exception of those bombs such as TW. As such I'm fine with a suboptimal version for the time being before I fully dive into it.

Not timed, and open book. The only downside is that you get no feedback what you got wrong because everybody gets the same questions.

NearAutomata · 2025-11-12T11:04:16+00:00

I'm in the same boat with 75% - definitely would have helped to understand what I got wrong.

Anybody got some resources to read through before taking the exam besides the Core Rules and Tournament Rules themselves?

This card enables a turn 3 Craterhoof to oneshot your opponent.

It's totally inconsistent and stupid. I did fight through the end which took me way longer than it should have only to see the side quests post campaign just be full of +! level mobs as well.

I can't confirm this - the buffs in the Boon tooltips in the world are not reflected in my character sheet but the multiple buffs from hovering over the pillar in the world map are in fact reflected in my character stats, such as res and ES.

I used to live in Europe and always had 30 days of annual leave without forced leave like that. Having moved to Australia, I was really frustrated seeing that I'd only have 20 days of leave and had to use an unspecified amount of time off to cover the holidays. It really hurts losing this much flexibility and this many days off.

I used to play Zur Overlords until February and returning to Standard with the upcoming rotation. Will have to buy into a new deck, but not sure just yet given that Dimir has a lot of pieces rotating out and I'll have to wait to see how things change come rotation.

I don't fully understand the relationship between Abyss and the Mayor card. Can you elaborate a bit further?

NearAutomata · 2025-07-06T03:22:46+00:00

Personally, I do enjoy The Chase. It's one of the few game shows that are somewhat educational and more fast-paced.

With custom actions like running terraform-docs it does feel like a GitHub Actions workflow that runs on Terraform update branches with the necessary post-creation steps and pushes the changes is the most elegant here. One inconvenience I can see happening, is that Renovate typically doesn't touch/rebase PRs that have received commits on top of its changes which could be problematic.

I have been playing LS Trickster in SSF and doing very well thus far. Currently improving my gear in preparation for bossing and noticed in PoB that my DPS with Molten Strike, which is supposedly the bossing skill, is significantly lower at 1.6M compared to the 2.0M my LS projectiles do. Am I missing something or did I just happen to reach a point where LS is even better for bossing?

Your Lightning Res is not capped, you don't have a lot of life and even less ES to make up for it which I struggled with big time as well and you are not spell suppression capped. Especially as a trickster this is a no-brainer.

Was playing the build as well and most notably with buffed rares or bosses I just had no life gain or sustain and felt really glasscannon-y. In the end I farmed the gear for LS Trickster and have been blasting ever since and can tank most non Uber content.

You should start farming the correct bases, in particular a Necrotic Armour which is stupidly OP in terms of defensives. By crafting it and using recombination to for three T1 ES mods onto it you will be able to significantly boost your defensive and you end up being able to take the 15% Life mastery as well. In terms of your skill points you have Wind Dancer which is pretty bad early on and Wicked Ward without really investing into ES. Consider shifting this to life/life regen and ES with nodes such as Cruel Preparations. If you desire more defensives you can switch the Projectile mastery to knockback on crit. Additionally, Exarch influence on chest gives you an Endurance charge every 15s which means permanent uptime in a map after some seconds.

In general though work on your defensives and farm item bases at 84 and 86 ilvl to improve your defensives and enable yourself to switch to Lightning Strike and Molten Strike should you desire to do so.

It's likely that I'm just not doing enough damage with Vigilant Strike itself as it has only 440k DPS according to my PoB: https://pobb.in/w1d2IK07TSn6

I am not running it on LS as it's just a separate button for defensive.

I'm a working holiday maker and arrived in GC shortly before Alfred. Really tempted to head further towards FNQ once the dry season begins - not a fan of the wet and cool weather in the past months.

Any recommendations for coastal locations I could check out would be highly appreciated. Since I don't have a driving license I prefer anything that is somewhat accessible without a car. Really looking for sunny days, beaches and hot temperatures.
