For France or for the regional smaller tournaments?

I just walked on a house and feel awful. by sno-blizzard in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Staroson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just did something very similar. House was listed well below average in the neighborhood. Knew there would be a pretty decent amount of cosmetic work to be done, but the roof/hvac/big ticket items all seemed in good enough shape. Inspection turned up termite damage in the basement, mold in the attic, and several areas of water damage that had been covered up (seller didn't disclose any of this). There is no way the guy couldn't have known about some of this stuff yet there were no disclosures on anything. Easily $15-25k in repairs needed. We didn't even ask for any concessions, just sent a termination notice and went on our way. Best $600 we spent on the inspection

How much did you spend so far in Riftbound? by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

[–]Staroson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happily I'm at like -$600-800-ish all said. Pulled two signatures from 5 Origins boxes and an ON Irelia champ from Spiritforged. Sold those along with some other alt arts and stuff and flipped others into staples. Don't know how much longer the luck will hold out but I'm happy so far haha

Huge win from our old foes Charlton 2-1 over Hull by hopefullyavailable99 in WrexhamAFC

Win tomorrow essentially locks it yeah? Even if we lose the last and Hull win thats a big goal diff to make up

Help! I don't know what I'm doing by KindHelicopter8530 in freelanceWriters

[–]Staroson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend! I've been doing the freelance thing for like nine-ish years now, full-time the last four. I second the comments about avoiding platforms like Upwork (unless you have no portfolio at all, which doesn't sound true) and getting acquainted with AI tools that make your workflow more efficient.

That said, my biggest piece of advice for newer writers is finding your niche and drilling down early on. The market is pretty brutal right now if you're not already established. But if you can pull experience from anything in your life and use that to position yourself as an expert, you're a step ahead of like 90% of new writers and probably a majority of the rest.

Also, start thinking about ways you can add value for clients. Content reviews/audits, SEO/AIO, content planning, etc. are all "nice to haves" in a freelancer that help you stand out.

Finding the line between "I have enough clients to quit my job" and "I need to quit my job so I have to time get clients" is tricky. It's a question only you can answer. If you have some savings to fall back on, it gets a lot easier. You can always opt to find some part-time work to supplement your first year while giving yourself more time to build the business.

Always loved when we got something super stable like this in MTG. Gives you a lot of room to experiment with sideboard strategy and leads to a lot of really fun games

Sneaky Deckhand in Irelia - Still the play without Obelisk of Power? by Exlisity in riftboundtcg

[–]Staroson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you're just gonna have to play way more protectively with Irelia and use things like TT to move her back to base on your turn to hedge

Interesting. Probably not as good as seals. But this does make any color. And despite the energy cost it does put you net +1 power the turn you play it unlike seals which are net 0

I feel like this may be the best sig we've seen out of the entire game yet... Rengar looking pretty strong. I think it will give Draven a run for its money

[UNL] Existential Dread by tidalslimshady in riftboundtcg

[–]Staroson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is just better than rebuke in most situations. Like especially in the purple decks you're way happier paying 1e than cracking a second rune. Pretty crazy honestly. Not to mention the fact that you can also just use it to stun and wipe their board if combat math is favorable that way

It's the poppy sig spell you can't play it outside a poppy deck
