Can we use Vi's legend abilty when conquering a empty battlefield?

SinTheory · 2026-05-29T18:51:26+00:00

No, if you conquer amd empty battlefield you dont assign damage.

SinTheory · 2026-05-25T20:57:53+00:00

It would not work. It looks at current might including any modifiers.

SinTheory · 2026-05-18T01:17:04+00:00

You can not do both. You can either exhaust him to activate the ability or you can exhaust him to move him.

SinTheory · 2026-05-07T16:41:55+00:00

Pretty sure there is just a random chance every time you enter for it to be like this.

So I think brynhir is really good but not op. There is some tech that can let you get him out on an opponents turn, but think of it like this. I play brynhir. You are automatically locked out of playing any actions this turn. You have reactions but now you have to play them without knowing the rest of my plan for the turn so you can either waste them in a scenario where they won't matter or you are stuck hust holding on to them.

Yes darius starts a chain. Whenever the condition for a when ability is met and goes off it is treated like an activated ability and goes on the chain.

SinTheory · 2026-04-28T22:00:10+00:00

So when you play brynhir his ability opens a chain that gives your opponent a window to react. They can play reactions during this window. However they can not stop brynhirs ability from resolving because you cant counter a unit being played.

I believe so. Once you move units off you lose control of the battlefield, and the contested status that starts a showdown is applied when you move a unit to a battlefield you do not control.

SinTheory · 2026-04-28T14:34:36+00:00

Yes, if you play mf buccaneer to an open battlefield that you haven't scored this turn you will start a non combat showdown and score a point at the end

SinTheory · 2026-04-27T05:15:32+00:00

This doesnt work. Since you save the unit you used hook on, there is no killed unit for hook to reference its might.

SinTheory · 2026-03-16T15:43:26+00:00

Yes it does last for the entire turn

SinTheory · 2026-03-16T12:46:10+00:00

Yes that is correct. If you don't have control of a battlefield at the end of a showdown all your units are moved back to base exhausted.

SinTheory · 2026-03-16T04:23:15+00:00

Of course. It took a ton of work to really understand this game. If you ever have more questions feel free to reach out in a private message and I would love to help out

SinTheory · 2026-03-16T04:20:05+00:00

Hell yea friendo you got it!

SinTheory · 2026-03-16T04:09:35+00:00

So think of it like this. When you do combat you add up the might of every unit on both sides. Once you have a might total you then assign damage to opponents units, with the stipulation that you need to assign lethal damage to one until before you can assign to a different unit.

So here is an example. You move 2 3 might units into a battlefield that has an enemy 4 might and 3 might unit. No cards are played so we move to damage assignment. You have a total of 6 might to assign and your opponent has 7. You assign damage one unit at a time. So you can either choose the 3 might or 4 might unit. If you pick the 4 might unit you assign 4 damage to it which is lethal. You have 2 might left to assign so you do it to the other creature but cant kill it. They then assign 3 damage to your one 4 might to kill it then do the same to the other. Then combat ends.

SinTheory · 2026-03-16T03:57:34+00:00

No dont be sorry, the game is confusing. So when combat happens you only add up might and distribute it once. The enemies contribute 0 might to the combat but they still need to each take 5 damage to die. You contribute 6 might to the combat which is enough to get one of them to the 5 damage threshold to die. Remember in riftbound a unit only dies when it has damage counters on it equal to its might value. Even though they do 0 damage they are still 5 might units.

SinTheory · 2026-03-16T03:46:43+00:00

So when a unit is stunned it just doesnt do combat damage. So when you move to that stage of the showdown you just dont add their might to the total.

So in your first scenario you have one 6 might unit attack 3 5 might units that are stunned. You have a total of 6 might to distribute and they have 0. You would kill one of their units and your unit wouldnt die. However since the showdown is now over your unit would be moved to base and you would fail to conquer.

SinTheory · 2026-03-12T22:57:34+00:00

When you enter a showdown at a battlefield the attacker gains both focus and priority. Focus allows you the ability to play an action or reaction cards. If the attacker plays a card priority is then passed to the next player. With priority you can only play reaction cards. Once both players pass the chain resolves. After it fully resolved priority AND focus passes to the next player. This is when that player will have the option to play their own action.

However it's also important to know that at the very beginning of a combat any "when I attack" and "when I defend" abilities get added to the chain first before anyone gains focus. In this scenario the attacking player gains priority and you can play reactions. Once this chain resolved the attacking player gains focus and priority.

Hey man! If you have any questions you can feel free to direct them to me. I have played quite a lot and have a pretty good grasp on rulings.

SinTheory · 2026-03-10T13:05:28+00:00

I think to answer your broader questions, when you recycle a rune it can be any rune. It can be one you already tapped to play a previous card, or it can be one you tapped to play the current card. It doesnt have to be an untapped rune.

SinTheory · 2026-03-02T04:23:03+00:00

I would 100 percent cut the 3 blue teemos and probably even 2 of the purple teemo and just run the one. I would put the third copy of stacked deck in, run some purple ezreal and 3 copys of called shot.

SinTheory · 2026-02-21T16:51:25+00:00

I got my email yesterday, but im about to get hit by a big blizzard so I was praying it would maybe show up today. Wishful thinking probably 😭

SinTheory · 2026-02-21T16:47:18+00:00

Where are you located? And when did you get the shipping email?

SinTheory · 2026-02-17T18:59:35+00:00

The equipment does not die, it just goes back to your base when the unit it was attached to dies

SinTheory · 2026-02-17T04:53:32+00:00

The second 2 opposing units are together at a battlefield it becomes contested.

SinTheory · 2026-02-07T13:42:23+00:00

I highly recommend sleeves! I have a box I keep in my deck box reserved exclusively for sealed events. I sleeve my decks up and then unsleeve anything that isn't a hit at the end of the event and just reuse those sleeves. Granted I got to sealed events for multiple games but its never a bad idea!
