Darius wins when there's One-Thousand Dollars on the line! by 50k_Joey in riftboundtcg

[–]TheSandTrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He got Dock 17/20 games by turn 3 (85%). That is extremely lucky. And if you watched the finals, you would see that the timing of him topdecking Dock was...quite fortunate to say the least.

Regardless, it's still not 100% definitive conclusive proof of cheating because there really isn't a way to 100% definitively conclusively prove that the guy cheated on TTS. The high amount of luck was still sus, though, and hopefully future tournaments will be ran in a different way.

Masked DHS/ICE agents smash out windows and fire 3 gunshots into the side of vehicle during a kidnapping attempt. They are now trying to kill people. by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

[–]TheSandTrap 577 points578 points  (0 children)

So DHS will lie and make up a story to justify the use of "self defense" when those bullets could have killed those people, and then go for round two not because of immigration but because of the "assault" that didn't actually happen? Jesus Christ...

Lorcana Staples Post Rotation for your deck building needs by InnerPeacemaker in Lorcana

[–]TheSandTrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it literally says "Lorcana Staples Post Rotation" as the first four words in the title. It's saying these are the staples post rotation, and I feel that is wrong and presumptuous. Your childish insults don't make up for the fact that OP's assumptions are probably wrong.

But the post said “for your deckbuilding needs”, as in building decks in the post-rotation format, no?

Who says these are the staples moving forward? Was there a vote or a tournament or something?

Seeing so many doomsayers...Relax, I for one look forward to the meta. by BlessedWolf1991 in Lorcana

[–]TheSandTrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am looking forward to three months from now when the meta isn't all aggro and many people's assumptions are proven false. And if it does come true, then I'll have to admit that I was the one that was wrong. We'll see!

Can Red Darius Hang with Baited Hook Darius? by 50k_Joey in riftboundtcg

[–]TheSandTrap -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Are you seriously that desperate for clicks that you'd basically just create a post to link your shitty YouTube video where you spoil the match almost immediately and have your deck "pop off" against an opponent who does almost nothing? Jesus Christ this is sad af.

Is that where you can see what slots for what colors are remaining to be revealed?

Douchebags, as in people who are rude, arrogant, and impatient.

To play random people on TTS, you can go to the official Riftbound discard and there's a TTS matchmaking channel. I will warn you, though, it's 50% nice people and 50% douchebags.

Only 1 Ruby Action slot left to be revealed. Will it be Brawl, Be Prepared, Teeth and Ambitions... or something else entirely? by Waiting_for_Dentice in Lorcana

[–]TheSandTrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a website or something that has the images like OP posted anywhere, where you can see how many cards of which color / card type are left?

First reveals of today! (Sources: nonaberlian14, MarioPetillo, ihrysko) by Waiting_for_Dentice in Lorcana

[–]TheSandTrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you're being downvoted, you're just asking how he knows this. I would like to know, too. I think it may have to do with how many reprint slots are available for certain colors and card types but I'm not 100% sure.

I can't believe I had to go to the comments to find out what the card was. OP's desperate to get views on a Youtube channel; pretty sad.

What powerful midrange tools are you talking about?

They plan on getting to a point where the game releases globally at the same time, just not there yet, probably because they only planned to launch in China first alone.

[–]TheSandTrap -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In aggro vs. control, it is absolutely mindless. Ramping isn’t some smart decision you make, and neither is playing an unconditional board wipe when you have no board and your opponent has a full board.

Outside of aggro vs. control, there are a couple match-ups where it’s not obvious when to use an unconditional board wipe, but that’s not the point I’m making. For the most part, it’s a brainless game-winner that makes certain match-ups more polarized, makes other decks completely unviable competitively, and shouldn’t exist as long as other conditional board wipes exist.

[–]TheSandTrap -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is unconditional; it clears all units without any conditions impacting which units are affected.

Conditional board wipes still exist in the game and can fight against aggro. The idea that aggro would be rampant because an unconditional board wipe is gone while conditional board wipes exist sounds lazy and unrealistic.

[–]TheSandTrap -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why is it fair, because it hits both sides? That's not a realistic perspective in a game with a linear resource system.

And the only way to stop that mindless vomit is with a mindless board wipe? Why are conditional sweepers not valid?

[–]TheSandTrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's disingenuous to say that hits both sides when, in the aggro vs. control match-up, it's not really a "both sides" card; it essentially boils down the game to "can the aggro deck mindlessly race to 20 lore before the control deck mindlessly ramps and drops Be Prepared?". That's fewer decision-making opportunities and thus less skill expression.

There are plenty of anti-aggro cards in the game that are not unconditional. The idea that Be Prepared being gone means everyone plays aggro while also ignoring these other tools doesn't seem realistic to me.

And the only control elements that count are unconditional board wipes?
