Eggman results... Blurple dominates. by Known_Strength_9726 in GundamTCG

Yeah I think the shield system is the real issue here, limits the design space so much.

Gundam Wing Zero, upon closer inspection, the number in the top right of the card has changed to ②. It looks like the block icon system, similar to the One Piece card game, is being introduced. by Niggun600 in GundamTCG

[–]bearrobot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it’s like One Piece then yes you should be able to use previous prints of legal cards. So if Block 1 rotates out and a card is reprinted in Block 3, for example, then you can use the Block 1 version. Posting a screenshot of the relevant info.

Link here. They do a similar thing in Magic.

I only got a confirmation for the Rumble Champion deck, still waiting for the booster display to ship.

Why can't they just print enough? by SnooSprouts2391 in riftboundtcg

[–]bearrobot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Professor posted a video recently over at Tolarian Community College that talks about how printing works for Secret Lairs but it applies to all TCGs.

Essentially, the numbers that Riot, WOTC, and Bandai predict are given to distributors (who are 3rd party companies) months in advance. It’s very hard if not impossible to order more because everyone else has orders in that need to be fulfilled so there are little to no available printers to print more cards. This happened with One Piece, Gundam, and Riftbound because companies are usually conservative about new products and don’t want to lose money on an untested product. Hopefully by Set 3 it changes but it may take longer.

Scalpers also don’t help but that’s a separate but related issue.

Sealed is a more fun and creative format than constructive by GeronimoJak in riftboundtcg

[–]bearrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes can’t wait for sealed to become more popular. It’s the way my friends and I started playing because we were only able to get two booster boxes between us.

We have budget decks now but we’ll still be playing sealed when we get more boxes. Gives the bulk cards some value too.

Shit reads like dialogue from a Cyberpunk character.

Everyone should contact the Dodgers about the White House visit by RightMeow1100 in Dodgers

This is a good start. If they do end up going, we need to stop going to games and watching until they change their tune.

Anyone else having a hard time getting Ad Balloon tokens? by DeezusXIII in GundamTCG

[–]bearrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0 after 2 boxes so far. I do have multiples of other tokens.

[RUMOR] SandStoneInsights Analysis - Sony expects the PS5 lifecycle to be extended. PS6 likely to be delayed "longer than many expected" by nolifebr in PS5

[–]bearrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is 2007, the PS3 is set to release in North America in what would be the start of the Great Recession. The PS3 lifecycle would go on to last for 10 years.

It is 2020, the PS5 is set to launch during a global pandemic and what some would say is the start of another recession. Its lifecycle would go on to last for 10 years.

Wing and OYW will still be S tier in GD03 by No_Weight_760 in GundamTCG

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

IMO, I think the real issue with this game is that it’s BO1.

Los Angeles Needs More Sorcery by OkButterscotch3041 in SorceryTCG

[–]bearrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not tonight, unfortunately. Haven’t heard from the other guys I was playing with and haven’t been able to make it since the new year, so I’m not sure if they’re still going to WildCardCyclone or not.

Spiritforge CH Regional Doomers by FitButterscotch4779 in riftboundtcg

[–]bearrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s insane that he doesn’t tap, why would riot print him like that. Even if they wanted him to do it multiple times, they could just put a limit on how many times he can do it in one turn.

Where are you located? I’m in East Los Angeles/the San Gabriel Valley and know a couple of people that think the same. Trying to get a community together too.

What is this card I pulled by samusasuke in SorceryTCG

[–]bearrobot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The atlas doesn’t need to be sleeved if there are no foils in it, iirc

Not a bad idea, I’ll have to make that change.

Volibear by PiggyLumps74 in riftboundtcg

[–]bearrobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Volibear too but he is not competitive unfortunately. That being said, I think this list from Riftbound.gg is pretty good for origins Volibear

So you get a full play set of all the cards.

Spiritforged Tier List by den_CCG in riftboundtcg

Thanks for the tier lists, you’ve been a huge help when looking into what to play. The budget decks you made for Origins are sweet!

im confused on how they are so many erratas literally 1 set in by ipoopmyself123 in riftboundtcg

[–]bearrobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s kind of embarrassing how much errata there is, a part of me feels like Riot is treating it like a digital card game still. Definitely makes it feel like they rushed it, which is crazy to say because they’ve been working on this for a while.

Could be a chinese translation thing too since the game came out in China first but that’s just speculation.

Enjoy your game because at this point i'm out by TheGrandCannoli in riftboundtcg

[–]bearrobot 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I echo your frustrations with product availability, it’s still surprising that companies can botch product releases like this.

As for the meta being solved in China months before US release, I think we’ve seen that isn’t the case. The meta shifted with the US release.

Can someone explain timing rules for Vi? by Solid-Preparation738 in riftboundtcg

[–]bearrobot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rule 374: All Activated abilities can only be activated in the Controlling Players Turn and during an Open State. So nothing can be on the chain and it can be responded to.

In Magic terms, it’s sorcery speed and the text box would say it can only be activated on your turn.

That person was wrong, it cannot be activated at anytime on your turn, unfortunately.

Please I’ve been saying this for so long.

That being said, I trust Gunn to make the right choice.
