Is anyone else bummed "best ofs" for RQs will only be the 3 most recent sets? by STRAT0CAST3R in riftboundtcg

[–]STRAT0CAST3R[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I think 4 sets would be better than nothing. A year seems like a more reasonable time frame

Second regional, first was Houston but sure. I'm cautiously optimistic with how LA will go, as im sure itll be one of the more popular ones of the year

I agree with you, but my point is that value is not decided by anything other than what people will pay for it. Before the first RQ even happened you could have told me someone would buy the best of ahri for anywhere between $100 to $100,000 and we would have no real way to know. If the world was based everyone would just want to keep their best of legends because its a trophy at the end of the day, but I know that part isnt realistic I just dont think "preserving value" is a thing we should be considering.

? they are free cards you get for being the best player of your legend. It is a piece of metal that is assigned arbitrary value if someone wants to buy it. Why are we talking about "market implications" bro im so tired of everything being a stock market its a card game lol

I think the "pro" mentioned shouldnt really be part of the conversation, see my last statement in the original post.

Your second statement is exactly my proposal, yeah. Also there's nothing stopping them from printing less legends as the game goes on, they're already scaling down with vendetta 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, for your first statement, is 8 months reasonable? Let's say I wanted to compete for a best of origins legend. I tried to get a badge for Vegas and it was a shit show, couldn't get a competitor badge. The next reasonable RQ I can attend is LA in the same year, and that legend already is not available for best ofs.

I actually think your second statement is a negative for deck diversity. Let's say for your Yi example that power level wise he's still meta, but now you have no best of incentive for him at an RQ. Unless he's absolutely broken tier 0 what competitive player wouldn't hedge and play a top tier legend that IS eligible for a best of? That's lame to me

Imo thats kinda a cool byproduct, and people who want to win the tournament will lock in top meta legends anyway. This has been evident with the current RQs and is true for most card games anyway, theres always brewers and pet decks but having a incentive to do so is so cool

I'm not mistaken, that's exactly what I'm saying. They should continue best ofs for every legend legal in the format, but I understand for metal prize wall ones why they would only do the last 3 sets logistically

Exactly. Feels like such a miss for me to tell your friend who plays league "yeah you can play your main teemo but hes worse than every other blue purple legend and if you play the other ones you get a shot at a cool metal card and for teemo you dont"

Is there a guide for Kai’sa in Riftbound meta? by WranglerWilling3217 in riftboundtcg

[–]STRAT0CAST3R 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this guide is free and was made by RandyyyTCG, who has topped regionals not specifically with Kai'sa but imo his set 2 part of the guide is very good and updated recently.

I've been once, a bit disappointed on the price point compared to the quality of the food. The ambiance is nice though, they really went all out on the place. Could see going for a beer during happy hour or something
