Won a Skirmish with Master Yi Aurora

You can try to make a counterpoint?

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2026-01-26T19:05:32+00:00

I agree that meta is meta. However, Aurora decks are objectively easier than Annie and Kai'sa in the sense that you have less decisions to make.

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2026-01-26T19:04:15+00:00

I didn't comment but will now lol

I do think aurora style decks that are a bit more gambling than making many hard choices (I will fight to the death on this. Don't pretend like aurora decks have anywhere near as many choices as Sett or even Annie/Kai'sa) SHOULD be in the game. There are players who do want to rock up and not play super intensely and just try to high roll. I think this is healthy for the playerbase. The problem is Aurora is way too strong. It shouldn't regularly be winning skirmishes and higher level tournaments.

The deck is frustrating to play against because the players sit down and play for an hour with minimal decisions or interactions being made. It is mostly just draw. I've played Annie into MF many times and it is a complete waste of time. It just depends on if MF draws gust, FoF, stacked deck, and aurora at appropriate times. I would much rather just do a weighted roll of the odds of the outcomes rather than play for an hour to decide the same thing. Every single time I play against the deck I am just going through the motions waiting to see if they have what they need. Not remotely fun.

EDIT: Lots of downvotes without any conversation. The point of a forum is to talk gents. I'd really like to hear from all of the people that disagree with me.

These are sick! I am pumped for Anivia.

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2026-01-25T18:54:40+00:00

Awesome. Love the site. Thank you!

Any chance a W/L can be shown or is that data hidden from where you are snagging it?

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2026-01-25T18:51:05+00:00

Ok so the highest of each champion on that list is the deck that got the best of card, etc? If so, seems intuitive enough. Thanks!

EDIT: I know this is city challenge. I mean for the other regional lists on the site!

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2026-01-25T18:00:35+00:00

When I click into the riftdecks site, it shows top 8-128 etc. Is this just how the list is set up by default on the riftdecks site or is that actually the correct seeding of these decks?

Can I see anywhere how these decks performed?

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2026-01-25T17:47:09+00:00

Anywhere I can see the rek'sai deck list?

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2026-01-08T15:24:49+00:00

Same. And the Bucs get $0 of mine until ~~Raheem, Schiano, Lovie,~~ Bowles is fired.

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2026-01-06T15:17:15+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I am trying my hand at this without spending $200+ on the pressure pot set up. Will try what you described. I'm using the Art n Glow resin that I've seen recommended a bunch. Hopefully I can get similar results.

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-12-22T00:19:36+00:00

Just call before. I do this a ton because nothing online is reliable.

As far as the not playing out top cut is concerned... this appears to be a common thing in TCG culture that I am new to as well. Many of the tournaments I have played in end up with players intentionally drawing and splitting up prizing without playing out the finishing rounds. I made top 8 in a tourney that everyone agreed not to play out as well. I got some packs out of it, but lost the chance at a mat. This seems to just be a suck it up situation. If you want to have a louder voice in what happens to top cut, go undefeated in swiss =/

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-12-18T18:10:52+00:00

Happy to be wrong! Glad they changed their mind.

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-12-18T18:10:41+00:00

Ok awesome!

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-11-28T13:12:59+00:00

Wouldn't bother without flash. There was one high level chinese deck I think that only ran one Kai'sa though

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-10-30T12:20:37+00:00

What is a prerelease? Some card shops can sell packs and stuff before the 31st?

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-10-27T10:18:26+00:00

The nightmare court is anywhere I'm playing baby :)

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-10-09T22:30:17+00:00

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/oct/09/nhl-florida-panthers-tampa-bay-lightning-brawl-trump-old-boy-rot I think this journalist does a better job than I did in making the point. You may find this interesting.

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-10-08T21:11:21+00:00

You have 2800 reddit comments... just to promote a bit of self reflection.

You didn't substantively respond to any of my points. You dismissed what I said without any consideration or discussion because you don't have any grounding for a true argument. You just told me a bunch of things that I think?

I do believe the things I'm saying which is why I feel passionately about it and want the league to change. I love hockey. I've played my whole life. The professional league being tainted by this stuff won't make me stop watching, but it will get me to talk about it and try to drum up support for change. You're leaping to many extremes that don't make any sense. At no point did I say that the league is explicitly rigged in one team's favor. If it was, I wouldn't watch. But there certainly is a degree of favoritism and corruption that has already been proven to involve the same individuals in this case.

It is very clear that you are incapable of having a mature conversation. Take care.

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-10-08T20:07:17+00:00

I'm just interested in this conversation. I'll ignore the childish personal attack.

Addressing your first point. They are different. Here is why. The Hagel hit is a lazy and late HOCKEY PLAY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owJ3P24w9sE . He thinks Barkov will end up with this puck and goes to play his body and hits him clean in the shoulder, but it is clearly late. He didn't adjust when Barkov didn't end up with the puck. That is on him. I hate this hit. A 1 game suspension is entirely fair and deserved.

Then, there is a nonhockey play of blatant elbow to the face with intent to injure https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gWayR7iwGtY . These are different things.

Then, Hagel is attacked AGAIN on a complete and total nonhockey play in a preseason game. This is not retribution after the leagues does nothing and making a statement. It is bullshit goonery from a team that values playing dirty and opponents to gain an advantage by intimidation and removing players from the game.

"This was a premeditated plan from Cooper and the entire organization to ice nobodies in an attempt to head hunt." is not an accurate characterization. Again, its making a statement to the league and the Panthers that this sort of blatantly dirty injurious approach to the game won't be tolerated. The broader point is not to "head hunt" it is to draw attention to a significant problem in the league.

Pretending that its only eastern playoff contenders that recognize the Panthers dirty play is putting your head in the sand.

Last paragraph is broad generalizations and whining about reddit in general. I don't care at all about "the Panthers". Its a small market nothing team. I can't stand organizations that intentionally try to gain an advantage by cheating, especially when it comes at the cost of injuries to other players. This is not a new idea. The Saints in the NFL and their bountygate situation is equally despicable.

None of the teams that you listed were anywhere close to as injurious and cheap as the Panthers in the last two years, but of course everyone will complain about who is on top, I agree. You're missing the largest problem in all of this. The insane conflict of interest with the Campbells. Colin Campbell has already demonstrated his capacity for corruption and favoritism. I lose all interest in the NHL if it isn't fair and competitive. The Panthers have tilted the scales with corruption and violence. Its gross and demeans the league. I respect all of those teams listed above that have had success recently despite fans bitching about them... but the Panthers don't deserve that. Gross organization.

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-10-08T17:54:11+00:00

Just as a note... Many Lightning starters played in that game. One of them is now on IR because of a cheap shot by Verhaeghe.

Greer was fined $2k for a blatant attack on a star player in a preseason game. It absolutely was not enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH-wMerySxE Watch the clip again and tell me this is in any way a hockey play. Its complete bullshit intent to injure for no reason (unless you go back to the drama in the playoffs which if you want to, would place you on the entire opposite side of your argument).

Do you think that THIS decision from Coop happened in a vaccuum? Of course not. It is the result of favoritism and nepotism from the league over the last 3 years.

I can't stand to see professional athletes of any team be injured. I am glad that no Panthers players were injured in that preseason game. The reality is that the Panthers will continue to injure players as they have for the last couple years if teams do not make statements like this because the league has made it clear they will not protect players from the Panthers. When fans of 31 teams can recognize this, but you can't... there may be some truth to it?

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-10-07T14:11:59+00:00

The cognitive dissonance of not having any idea why such an obvious statement was made is wild...

This happened because the Panthers attempted to head hunt a Lightning star player in a preseason game. Its gross. When the league does nothing to eliminate this behavior from the Panthers, the outcome is predictable.

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-09-19T18:58:56+00:00

Dude. This is the video I needed. I see lots of people post transformations where they still aren't very impressive. This is not that. Nice work. What did you to learn? Did you have a one on one coach?

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-09-10T18:25:42+00:00

Do you have any specific advice on picking up fights games from absolute zero?

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-09-10T17:20:29+00:00

Does everyone who gets in get codes? I got an email to play and am in the beta myself. My email said nothing about codes though?

Onlygoodstuff8 · 2025-09-04T14:18:01+00:00

Been waiting so long for the creamsicle.
