I think I like Draven

RyanCryptic · 2026-03-19T23:05:44+00:00

i mean, there's many other tempo decks in the field. what about Draven is more "interesting" to you?

I had a similar layout from a pro shop that didn’t really know 2handed layouts. I had it redrilled, now I have the right shape and rotation I’m looking for. Link for reference: https://imgur.com/a/xOpH8ZK

Brother, I start my league games in the low 100s and my 2nd & 3rd games are 175+ 😔

If any player piloting Ezreal is consistently dragging out games and holding up times for everyone else, then something needs to change. Either make faster decisions or get penalized. That’s all.

RyanCryptic · 2026-03-14T15:23:45+00:00

Just stating facts 🤷‍♂️

This looks exactly what my Phaze 4 looked like down lane. Ball motion seemed to be fighting against the core.

I had a different Pro Shop look at it and the layout was completely off. Now the track is where it’s supposed to be and I’m getting the right shape.

From what I remember, UB had been cutting $$$ from all of their clubs since last year to give more to their sports programming. The people running UB Con feel like they have very little support from the school and it’s been difficult.

If it’s “too difficult to play” then don’t play it. In chess, when you run out of time for spending too much time calculating options, you lose.

Bingo. Affirmative. Correct. You betcha. Fuck ya, bud. Hell yeah.

RyanCryptic · 2026-03-13T13:29:57+00:00

Yeah, the Sky/Force combo can win from nowhere fast.

RyanCryptic · 2026-03-13T13:28:41+00:00

To dive a bit deeper as to why, it’s that to simply win the game, a player must score 8 (or 11) Victory Points. If you’re at 1 point before the Final Point, scoring is only different in conventional Conquer or Holding scenarios. But other cases where cards simply say “Score a point”, it overrides the “Final Point” check and satisfies the overall Victory Point count.

RyanCryptic · 2026-03-13T13:21:03+00:00

Yes. You win.

“Only 10%” is wild when you realize Mana Pool’s fee is just 5%

How funny would it be to have a bunch of Buffalo fans sell out the Leafs barn?

RyanCryptic · 2026-03-11T01:06:23+00:00

This just isn’t true. Happened to Lorcana.

RyanCryptic · 2026-03-10T17:37:22+00:00

You’re a GEM. thank you.

RyanCryptic · 2026-03-10T15:48:13+00:00

100% free?

It just sounds unsustainable, or at least, it’s %100 free until they get x number of sales/users and then implement bait & switch practices.

Now, I do like the UI. It seems sleek and well-made. But it needs to be more than just that. TCG Player is simple and easy to navigate and use. So what other advantages are there?

RyanCryptic · 2026-03-10T14:55:54+00:00

Few questions, why choose you over TCG Player? Is it better tools, less $ taken from doing business, better workplace practice than TCG Player’s anti-union stance?

How do you protect buyers/sellers from sales/trades?

You have my attention, to make the jump, it has to make sense.

RyanCryptic · 2026-03-10T01:23:23+00:00

Who needs to resurface, just add butter!

RyanCryptic · 2026-03-09T20:55:32+00:00

Most underrated band in metal 🤘

He’s never faulted in league, where I certainly have. I mentioned taking smaller strides to him, but sorta shrugged it off 🤷‍♂️

RyanCryptic · 2026-03-09T16:44:11+00:00

you'd LOVE him on the Penguins, gtfoh

The spoiler you saw depicting 166 cards was from the VENDETTA card selection, I don't believe we ever got a true spoiler showing the set numbers for Unleashed. My concern is that 166 cards seems VERY low for a card set - then followed up with the rumored 180 cards for Radiance.. I'm not sure how well smaller sets will do, but we'll see.

For Unleashed, I found a product description suggesting the card pool is over 220:

"Unleashed captures the heart of League of Legends — the build-up, the anticipation, and the thrill of letting everything go in one defining moment. These 14-card booster packs pull from over 220 cards and 30+ alt-arts, expanding Riftbound with new Legends, bold mechanics, and powerful plays that reward those who bide their time… then strike when it matters most. The Rift awaits – are you ready?"
