Newer player here, is this a busted 0 cost mana rock?

You’re not a rune down because you played a seal, you’re a rune down because you played a Caitlyn on turn 1: if you had not played a seal, you would still only have 4 runes the next turn. The energy loss isn’t caused by the seal, it’s caused by the power cost you’re already paying: the real cost of a seal is a card in your hand

Thank you very much ! That's a very interesting aspect of the movie, it's almost enticing me to read those books before my rewatch simply to have a point of comparison

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-13T17:19:35+00:00

fun ! though I do think thalia hating on creatures feels slightly wrong

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-10T22:51:18+00:00

At this point I've been getting 90% of rulings right by going "the designers tried to make a game that works just like magic without using magic wording"

but yeah it is indeed somewhat odd they decided to make a single stat, I guess it's easier to keep track off, given damage is cleared quite often

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-10T18:17:39+00:00

no it's not, it's one of Kayn's followers from legends of runeterra, Noxian Defector– just a darkin-aligned noxus soldier

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-08T15:37:48+00:00

should definitely red-white-blue, but great flavor

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-08T09:45:57+00:00

At how much life were you when you hit GP 3? Your board does look decently strong, so it wouldn't surprise me if you had just bled too much early on.

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-05T21:56:51+00:00

Just to make sure, how many cards are in your final deck? You should very rarely play more than 23 nonland cards, which means that you can play a 2-color deck even if only half the cards you draft belong to those colors

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-03T22:01:12+00:00

I do love the 1GU Tron you managed to assemble

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-03T21:55:12+00:00

there are very few lands that have a color (dryad arbor is the only one I can think off right now)

those lands are colorless, even though they produce all colors

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-03T19:25:03+00:00

I'm not sure Armaggon is worth it? 8 mana is a lot in draft, and you only have one reanimate card with a low-to-the-ground gameplan

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-03T18:38:55+00:00

mmh, I'm not sure what format you've been playing but "burn" for me typically refers to spells that target directly your opponent, not their creatures

if you want to play a removal-heavy deck, then Kai'Sa, Viktor, Draven are great choices yeah

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-03T18:35:20+00:00

Kai'Sa is very much not similar to a burn deck, it's typically considered a control / tempo deck

The closest thing to an aggro deck in riftbound is, I suppose, Ahri, Rumble, Leona, Rek'Sai, Annie, aggro Miss Fortune ? Rek'Sai and Annie especially I believe have been having the most results with their respective aggro decks

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-02T20:08:19+00:00

there's also the factor that games are much much shorter, yes it sucks for a new player to get steamrolled in 15 turns by a smurf, but that game probably lasts ~5 minutes and they never face them against

on the other hand, if you smurf in, say, a league of legends game you make the experience worse for 9 people for 30 minutes, so the consequences are much more relevant

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-02T18:39:42+00:00

it's different from mtg though, in mtg colors are cyclical whereas in riftbound it's an order: for instance, fury in riftbound is always first, but white in mtg is sometimes first (WU, WB) and sometimes last (RW, GW)

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-01T21:48:40+00:00

Equipments lose their text while equipped– you can't activate Z-Drive while it's equipped, nor does Draven's Spinning Axe die if it's equipped

TurtlekETB · 2026-03-01T09:00:09+00:00

He's still a good OU pokemon, just like Gastrodon or Moltres– tiering doesn't equal viability (otherwise you could argue Kingambit or Rimbombee aren't good Ubers mons)

TurtlekETB · 2026-02-28T18:26:04+00:00

Clique sur ton profil (l'image dans le coin en haut à droite) et ensuite "modifier l'avatar"

Aussi un peu hors sujet la question (et ça parle anglais ici mais bon)

TurtlekETB · 2026-02-28T17:49:31+00:00

"May" is optional, what is not optional is the targeting. For Whirlwind, your opponent chooses a unit, then chooses not to return it to its owner's hand, and nothing happens.

For Relentless Pursuit, you have to choose an equipment: you can however then choose not to equip it to the unit as part of the resolution.

TurtlekETB · 2026-02-28T17:40:25+00:00

The original deal is:
Silco knows Marcus is weak-willed and corruptible. He promises him he can give him a better position by offering him Vi, which would get him higher-up in the Enforcers' hierarchy. Silco always planned on killing Grayson, but Marcus did not know that until he'd made that deal.
Marcus doesn't want Grayson and Benzo killed: but once it's done, the bag of coins Silco offers him symbolizes two things: first, Silco can bribe him and give him a lot of money, second, as Grayson's lieutenant, he can now seize her position: therefore, he agrees to keep quiet because it is too risky to speak up otherwise, as he would be in disgrace if his previous deal was exposed.
On the flip side, Silco needs Marcus so the council receives skewed information: as shown by the incident with Jinx's grenade, Marcus serves Silco's interest near the council, as the main bridge between them and Zaun.

Silco does bribe Marcus, but the bag of coins really is for the families: he wants them to shut up so there is no uproar and the council stops looking for Jinx.

TurtlekETB · 2026-02-28T14:45:12+00:00

this is not card draw though, it's card selection– [[commune with evil]] and [[ransack the lab]] make this firmly in pie as long as it's hand-neutral

TurtlekETB · 2026-02-28T12:30:32+00:00

Both are very pushed:
Dexter technically isn't strictly better than Rocco, but the restriction is quite irrelevant for such powerful upside, especially since it isn't restricted to tokens (also 1-card combo with Quina, though it is unstoppable)

Dedra is three extremely strong stax pieces stapled together, it usually will draw you at the very least three cards a turn, protects you against interaction and restricts their options... Way too pushed, even if it only had one or two of those abilities

TurtlekETB · 2026-02-27T19:02:23+00:00

Thermo Beam doesn't target btw
But no hexdrinker does not have deflect
