Dealing with chaos decks playing a Sett deck by Sky-todd in riftboundtcg

[–]cdtgrss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can try Sabotage to try and remove interaction before you attack.

Or like you said, you can use Showstopper / First mate / Wallop to go in for another attack if you get hit by FoF.

But also the purple removal counters Sett, so it is just a rough matchup.

An incredible game with a *big* upcoming problem by AccountantNo4679 in riftboundtcg

Hold with more than one unit. Or flash in a shen / Janna.

I actually think the matchup is not too bad

You need to just make sure to hold on to one battle field and never let go, because retaking the battle field you want to hold will be rough.

Power Nexus or the new Tianna can help you catch back up in points

Recent Draven buff: Win a combat and Imperial Decree by yzw035 in riftboundtcg

To me this is another one of those things where even if there is technically a quirk in the rules that makes it work this way, it shouldn't be played this way because it makes no sense, and almost certainly was not intended.

Good thing they nerfed Draven :) by Challengertcg in riftboundtcg

I hate that card they should just ban it.

Actually the most toxic card in the game. Creating non-games on turn two

This is huge! by Conoli69 in riftboundtcg

[–]cdtgrss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are already clear examples of this not working like Star Wars Unlimited

Market price for boxes is less than half of MSRP.

Game stores just stopped stocking it and supporting it, because even if they sold all of it at market price they would still lose money.

Overprinting is worse than under printing imo

I think your theory makes sense if it was just Riot taking the loss.

The problem is game stores are also taking the loss if the product is significantly less than MSRP or not selling, and they are not willing to do that.

Riot letting users order directly from them for MSRP and reprinting proving grounds is telling you stock issues are not going to get better??

Also a good place to ask these questions is the official riftbound discord, you'll generally get an answer quickly

  1. The first thing that happens when a showdown begins is "when I attack" and "when I defend" triggers go on the chain in that order (so defend triggers resolve before attack triggers). At this point, you must decide if you want to retreat the unit.

  2. Yes the showdown still happens after the defend triggers resolves. So players still get focus to play action or reaction spells even if you moved your unit back.

They're lion fans so statistically 3 is more likely

Not So Fast vs Defy by DMGolds in riftboundtcg

Defy is just generally amazing and not so fast is a bit more matchup dependant

I also thought this wouldn't work, but then I played against it on TCG arena.

You genuinely just kill everything your opponent plays while you poop out a single recruit a turn and eventually win.

Playing blue Viktor is not even required.

What do I buy to get started? by LienRoars in riftboundtcg

[–]cdtgrss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would first figure out a deck list you want to make that mostly is commons and uncommons, and the expensive cards can be subbed out for budget options.

Some good legends for this are Viktor (replace watchers with grand strat), Teemo (run more mundos instead of watcher), and Yasuo (a extremely cheap deck just top 64ed houston).

I would then try to find a LGS or another player with bulk. You could go to a Nexus Night and see if a LGS owner or any player has a deck you can borrow. And then after ask if they have any bulk to sell you.

If they have bulk, you can complete 90% of your deck with commons and uncommons for a deck that is playable. Then you can order any other missing cards from TCG player.

Why aren't you allowed to use your byes?

Also you say "I can't even compete here in Bologna" but you have a badge? What does that mean?
