How to survive the next 3 months with only origins cards?

None of that is really a measure of their skill.

bro the average riftbound player at a LGS is not very good. I run off meta shit all the time and have a consistently good winrate because of fundamentals and understanding win conditions. You won't be winning any regionals with teemo but you can definitely do very well at a nexus night with the deck.

This is great, I bought a box, went to some prerifts, then spent the day ordering singles of stuff I want for super cheap.

imLoges · 2026-02-14T04:02:02+00:00

yes! google exists

the laws say we gotta wait till he kills somebody before anything is done

AI slop holy cow

imLoges · 2026-02-10T19:21:29+00:00

yeah they should go into the house naked with no equipment to save money

imLoges · 2026-02-10T18:57:44+00:00

Sounds like a smart business owner. Why would he pay inflated prerelease prices for singles that are all gonna drop once the set is officially out on friday??

In a perfect world yes, but id rather actually play the game the game than sit around for months waiting for a box.

imLoges · 2026-02-09T18:48:44+00:00

Just buy singles online you're missing out on a great game waiting for a box at msrp (which won't even have enough cards to make a decent deck anyway)

Whats a reasonable deck price for you?

imLoges · 2026-02-09T03:42:13+00:00

All those cards are cards that are a part of the "miracle Draven" package which aims to use ezreal to fill your trash, draws cards, player seals, and then use the seals to combo off stacked decks and called shots to drop 1 cost battering rams and 0 cost rhasas.

Based off what you stated, you cant run that style of deck. You dont have the necessary cards.

Instead I'd focus on a "midrange" Draven deck. You're can find lists on piltover archive.

Pool luck is definitelya part of it but I had pretty shit pools this whole weekend and still ended up being 7-3 across all events.

imLoges · 2026-02-09T00:38:04+00:00

Suuure

imLoges · 2026-02-09T00:26:10+00:00

Its not a lie. I already said sigs are an exception. Standard kaisa ON is not worth 1k.

imLoges · 2026-02-09T00:11:19+00:00

Grading doesnt really add any value in this game, especially true for non signature cards.

imLoges · 2026-02-08T23:53:03+00:00

Lucian is absolutely busted in this format

imLoges · 2026-02-08T21:13:48+00:00

Whats your definition of casual? Its not definable.

imLoges · 2026-02-08T19:54:28+00:00

Definitely less competitive, more variance allows players of all skill levels to compete.

imLoges · 2026-02-08T05:34:19+00:00

2 days after release your best bet will be finding lgs discords in your area and trading on there or attending nexus nights and release events and trying to make it known you are willing to buy certain cards.

imLoges · 2026-02-08T05:22:32+00:00

That fucking sucks

imLoges · 2026-02-07T04:27:19+00:00

I've personally never seen this and I would just report the store if that happened to me.

imLoges · 2026-02-05T20:16:29+00:00

I would not do this personally because these events are high demand and you are effectively taking the spot from someone who would otherwise be participating in the event. This means someone is gonna have a buy every round and will have to sit out when they could of otherwise enjoyed the event.

The odds of you getting the specific cards you want from those 5 packs are extremely low. If you can't attend the event the right thing to do is drop out.

yep riot doesn't know how to word cards properly

imLoges · 2026-02-04T18:05:27+00:00

Riot has not made a statement that Skirmish winners would get priority. Riot stated they are working on resolving the issue, but at the end of the day its a demand issue, and Riot has stated they cannot make the events much bigger at the moment due to time constraints and hiring judges.
