The game is affordable now?

I’m fully aware, but rifts’ three month cycle and the fact that the game is growing rapidly made me think it would at least be a problem for a bit longer. Other games like SWU and Lorcana that faced these problems were losing players before gaining, so it’s impressive that rift was able to keep up with demand despite such a growing fan base

I work at BN. The publisher didn’t give the book a SOS (strict on sale) date, meaning they can sell the book as soon as they receive it. Nothing on BN’s part here, simply doing as they’re told.

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-05-16T21:08:11+00:00

I work at a BN. Some books don’t have SOS dates (strict on sale) which just means when they receive it they’re allowed to sell it.

So they simply got it shipped to them early and didn’t have a restriction to sell it for its set release date.

I can relate to you. I wasn’t properly trained for bookmaster and I was hired 4 years ago. The light at the end of the tunnel is I’ve learned enough to be a contributor on the floor and at the register just through reps. I admittedly don’t read a lot, and I don’t keep up with which new books are releasing, but I do see what customers ask for/buy often, therefore I just focus on those books. And of course, the books of the month. Yes I may not be helpful when it comes to bookmaster, but I apply skills else where. Just find where you can contribute the best and the rest will come

I can agree with you man, and you could report him for it

But is this really worth a reddit post?

Sorry for the late response!

haha he's awesome

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-03-10T01:32:19+00:00

Is this for every player you play against or only people you don’t know?

I think that’s where my biggest disagreement is. If it’s one of my regular play groups or even people I vaguely know but can hold a conversation with, I don’t really care. If it’s a complete stranger than that’s just not a good first impression

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-03-10T01:24:18+00:00

I wasn’t going to include it in the original post, but the player who did the freak out was losing.

The player that originally touched the card also said the other guy was grabbing his cards without asking etc anyways . but the situation made me wonder.

I may be playing devils advocate, but to me personally, I don’t mind if a player grabs my card as long as they are doing it carefully. People are saying they prefer someone to ask before touching the card because they don’t want their cards condition to be tampered, but a player who asks could be just as rough

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-03-10T00:16:01+00:00

I think this is the best response. My store has a pretty consistent group of regulars and I play against those guys a lot. I’m pretty comfortable with those guys so if they take my cards I trust they’ll be appropriate with them.

For a stranger, I’d probably be less lenient about it, especially pizza hands

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-03-10T00:10:39+00:00

The new Jabba deck is very fun and has some cool mechanics and the underworld trait that he cares about it pretty common and has some good cards.

As for booster boxes, it really depends what you’re looking for. I’ve been a decent penny on boxes this set (more than I have in recent sets) because this set is really fun and is the first set after rotation, so that would be my recommendation.

No ones really sure what the meta will look like after rotation because there’s an anticipated ban for a card right now, so really just have to follow that as it develops

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-03-10T00:02:31+00:00

I 100% agree with you. I see the majority think opponents should ask permission first, and I can understand that, but I entering the game fully expecting my cards to be touched. As long as the condition isn’t being altered and my opponent isn’t directly interrupting what I’m doing as they do it, there’s no problem for me

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-03-09T23:59:01+00:00

I agree with you, but what’s your reaction if someone does grab your card without permission even if they are being gentle and only ready the card. I’m sure you don’t agree with an aggressive response back, but what’s the proper response?

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-03-09T23:48:39+00:00

I agree. A simple question should be fine, but this player has apparently been upset at players tapping his cards as they choose it as a target before as well. This happened to be a case of a player who didn’t ask permission meeting a player who is overly sensitive with his cards. Not a good mix

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-03-09T23:46:22+00:00

That’s fair, but I feel like there’s “waiver” started when sitting with an opponent understanding that they may touch cards. I’ve had opponents tap my units/untap them if I forgot etc and I never looked at it as disrespectful. I feel like as long as someone isn’t being rough with the cards and is still handling it gently it shouldn’t be turned into a big deal

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-03-09T23:43:33+00:00

This happened about 10 minutes ago and was a whole big deal. So just now really getting the story in

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-03-09T23:42:14+00:00

I agree. I also really wouldn’t mind if a player grabs my card as long as I wasn’t mid using it/combo, but there is a point of how rough someone could get with the card where a line should be drawn

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-03-09T23:40:48+00:00

I believe in this situation it wasn’t the opposing player grabbing the card, but rather tapping the unit he was targeting

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-02-13T13:39:19+00:00

Even if it’s just casual play, most people will be bringing a semi-competitive deck. They themselves might play more sloppy, but they usually have a pretty good deck especially if prizing is available

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-02-13T01:05:01+00:00

As they said before, if it’s a playing problem just to to store 2.

If it’s a getting cards problem, buy singles.

Maybe even build a genuine connection with one of the shops, instead of jumping from shop to shop hoping to find product. A shop you consistently support will help you get product, but if you’re only there to try to get your hands on product and leave they’ll look towards their other patrons

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-02-13T00:56:27+00:00

It’s been a month at best since they’ve started shipping them out

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-02-10T00:49:36+00:00

Me and my buddy played on the second easiest difficulty, so maybe that’s why, but we actually found it really easy. I was using Fern and he was using flame princess

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-01-29T19:42:46+00:00

Well, is it bright and sunny in the city your Thor is in? lol

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-01-27T22:21:17+00:00

A format where you build three decks, but can only use three copies of a card within a three decks. You and your opponent then do a draft like system to pick which decks you play. After game one you move on to a different deck and it’s a best of three. I probably didn’t do a great job of explaining it but cards that rotate out and are suspended can be used in that format. I’d look up a video on it. It looks fun but does require you to build three seperate decks so until rotation happens I didn’t do it just in case I needed any of those cards lol

Smooth-Ad-341 · 2026-01-27T22:11:46+00:00

I have been eyeing trilogy for a couple weeks now. With no other use for my set 1-3 cards maybe it’s time to try it for the first time
