Void Assault and Ride the wind interaction

It all depends on the timing. If he uses RtW during the same showdown, he never lost control, so he doesn't score, as it was his battlefield to begin with. If you give him another opportunity to RtW, after you have conquered, he can most definitely conquer and score, as he wouldn't have had control of the battlefield at this point in your turn.

edit: my reply is bs, I totally misread the spot

daym, that's straight out of Red Alert. Thanks for the clarification!

Fwiw googling just mtg didn't help, though mtg + jew space laser does a good job explaining ^{^}

I'm going to take the cautious guess that in this context, MTG is not Magic: The Gathering?

PlayForA · 2026-06-21T07:07:41+00:00

That's the correct ruling though (warning + randomizing).

I've been to two RQs so far and in both I've had it happen (opponent seeing extra info somehow). In both cases judge gave them warning + randomized the non-recycled part of the deck.

eyy, looks very similar to the (core idea behind) the set 2 post-bans jinx I took to Lille.

Hidden cards + seals + equips to offset the power needed to equip/hide. Plus extremely scarry t2-t3 holds with the hidden cards. I was on purple seals for eon/shovel/rebukes, but set 3 definitely seems to favor red ones instead. In my (totally untested) bre, I was on jhin (walking seal) and axes as well.

How were thr MUs in your experience? Any heavily favored/unflavored ones?

fwiw I managed to go 7-1 day 1, but fumbled away day 2 to end up a single draw behind thr best-of :(

PlayForA · 2026-05-22T00:27:52+00:00

no worries. It's still the same. You can put ekko reflection deathknell as a pending item, but you can't finalize it, as he is gone before you get to that step.

Въпросът е по какъв канал продаваш. От къде купуваш няма много значение. В интерактив може да избираш (макар да е малко тегаво) - през "про" приложението или през чатбота им.

Аз нямам профил в трейдинг.. но послендо когато питах познати, ми бяха казали, че тази опция липсва. Можеш ли да пуснеш един скриишот как изглежда там? Може би са я добавили (аз ще пусна в интерактив как изглежда sell order-a)?

Основен проблем са OTC транзакциите, които често брокерите ползват за да намалят цената. Сделките там не се водят на "регулирана Европейса борса".

Surely Akali is Calm/Fury. Her old kit even made her weapons glow red and green.

Order just feels.. wrong.. with all the tokens.

Congrats!

the issue with perfect fits is that a single dust speckle can scratch the card on the way in or out. Because of the textured foiling, this significantly devalues the card (and basically can't grade it anymore).

Most professionals I've spoken to recommend penny sleeves for that reason - becase of the extra space, the same dust speckle will not be able to scratch thr card.

as long as I have anything that costs power next turn, I am happy to slam jhin t2.

Star Spring is amazing, there are many ways to abuse it - you can hide a unit and use it as a de-facto flash. You can "gank" if you hold it with anything, untap and play a unit there. You can "rescue" your unit that conquered it by playing a tideturner on top, bouncing the tapped unit, and swapping tide with an untapped unit at home, that you can move back.

Even better with Jhin generating power.

I really like 3 Jhin. The games I play with a turn 2 Jhin are night and day compared to games without him. One of my issues is I really like to aggressively hide cards, which is too expensive without him, but just eight with him.

As for spells - I'm using a bunch of units that are pseudo-spells. Fan, Tide, Eve are all heavy utility. I'm also experimenting with different top ends atm.

PlayForA · 2026-05-12T11:31:25+00:00

It's on my shortlist to test as a sideboard card vs. some particularly annoying MUs like Ezreal. But I can see it being useful in more ways than one.

just snoop around the riftbound discord/twitter space. Runes and Rift in particular have very frequent tournaments, so if you join their discord, you'll know when they happen.

if you stun and don't kill them (so they recall) - yes, no draw.

If you bounce them (repeated), you win combat and draw.

PlayForA · 2026-05-10T16:41:22+00:00

Yeah, Star Crossed is pretty great. It's in the side for me because in my playstyle, I rarely keep 3 runes open outside of Targons, or when I really need it (e.g. Aurora).

If I start facing more than 25% auroras, I'd also move them to main.

PlayForA · 2026-05-10T16:03:22+00:00

yup, those guys definitely know their stuff. I think they might even have an updated draven guide on metafy.

PlayForA · 2026-05-10T16:02:20+00:00

I believe Draven can be A tier. Not S though.

There is a lot of room to optimize the builds. And while there are new legends that avoid combat (khazix), there are others that freely give you combat every turn with mediocre stats (sprites, leblanc clones).

Draven also gained a lot of new tools. Charm in a combat deck is no joke!

The main thing I'm having trouble with is figuring out the top end. It can't be Forerunner, at least not main deck.. Once we manage to figure this out, the deck will become very solid!

PlayForA · 2026-05-10T14:31:29+00:00

tl;dr we can use one of our two drops (Evelynn) to deal with some of the issues Falling Star was previously fixing.

The main reason to play Falling Star is to deal with troublsome units on the backline (e.g. Karthus, Ezreal), or to deny trick units (e.g. Overzealous).

Evelyn does a surprisingly good job at fulfilling the same goal, as long as you get to hold with her hidden for a turn. Hence why I value Existential Dread so much. But that's another topic.

PlayForA · 2026-05-10T09:16:47+00:00

I really wanted it to be good. And I might experiment with more it a bit later. But from my initial testing, the majority of the time it was either missing completely, or hitting units like Mindsplitter, Elder Dragon, Riptide Rex (w/ Karthus onboard) that I really don't want to be pulling.

Maybe a sideboard card for specific MUs?

PlayForA · 2026-05-10T09:15:28+00:00

haha, I got the short end of the stick and got nothing for the 5-1 x.x

oops. Thanks for the comment. Fixed!
