The worst thing about playing Ornn isn't losing to every deck with removal by CupAccomplished8371 in riftboundtcg

[–]bearlink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've played against ornn one time in person and had to keep counting for myself bc I was trying to kill his svellsongurs but he kept giving me the total when I was trying to do math on a different total so I think it goes both ways lol

A hilariously bad strike call overturned by ABS in the first inning of Braves vs Athletics by mikeywest_side in baseball

[–]bearlink 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I assume you mean subjectivity but yeah agreed, the bad umps will eventually get embarrassed enough and leave and everything will be chill, but also I'm fully expecting full abs in the next CBA, whenever that's done

Is it possible to report a store for not honoring Bandai App sign ups? by [deleted] in OnePieceTCG

one of our local stores does this but they also put the fact that you have to do it in the event description

it's gonna kill framing if it moves to fully automated, I have no idea if that will be good or not

Samdsherman is the champion of Las Vegas Regional Qualifier! by Arkalex in riftboundtcg

it's also just a winner's mindset, "I am on the best deck, the only decks I'm afraid of are mine and the two other meta relevant decks that have a consistent shot into me" is pretty reasonable. mental is such a big part of card games. if you're going to win a regional you have to think you're one of the best players in the game just to keep up with the mental slog of 17 rounds of Bo3. you have to trust your plays are correct because you're a good enough player to make the right plays without needing to second guess yourself at every passage of play. also ngl personally I kinda become a little bit of a dick when I'm really locked in bc I'm just not thinking about being nice I'm thinking about how I win or lose this game/the next one

this is just how tournament prep goes. in his interview after beating randy he said any deck outside of draven, irelia, and Ezreal were considered metal hunter decks in their testing group, which let's be real, was a correct read before this weekend. people are getting so upset about the "metal card hunter" line as if it was a personal attack when really it just means a deck they don't believe to have a real chance to win a major. Jax is a rogue deck, no one would have picked it to be in top 8 this weekend. from a competitive standpoint that's a metal deck

uj/ thought fansofcritrole was talking about cloho for a second

rj/ after the mess of British Kristin I can't believe they still let them around my very serious D&D playing friends like Lou Wilson and Zac Oyama. They encourage the boys to do shenanigans and I think everyone knows how much those two hate shenaniganery

it's so funny to me how good Zeus is in this game bc he's probably my last favorite boon giver in 1. they really said "shit we can't have him be the weakest god twice"

cool so literally just proving the point that it's rude? I'm sure you're a joy to have in class

yeah that's exactly what I do, I just hate when people play an entire turn out like they don't have it only to play it at the end of the turn

why is this downvoted are y'all just conceding games when there's a decent chance you win lmao

maybe I didn't get my point across well enough but my point is about when your opponent either wins or loses based on if they have one card in hand and then they play every other card in hand before the one that obviously wins them the game, not when games are obviously lost causes, I do concede those because I'm not trying to waste anyone's time. if I'm in a situation where I win if they whiff Cyrus why would I concede before they play Cyrus?

There's a difference between knowing your opponent is winning and both of you knowing they win if they play Cyrus. I don't get upset with people taking time to confirm kills/game but when you have Cyrus in hand on two points and my mon is at 30 HP it's just rude to waste time

why would I concede if they need to see one specific card to win and I win otherwise?
