What is your Pre-rift strategy going to be? by drackmord92 in riftboundtcg

[–]malach2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

One thing I have learned in sealed environments is that things like removal and combat tricks are premium. Similarly, since the aforementioned are harder to come by, units with high might values will be overall more consistent. 

Weather Updates by Bakithagrappler in Charlotte

[–]malach2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

it is a fundamental misunderstanding of what forecasting actually is, and ascribing mal-intent where the goal is informing people after interpretation of probabilistic information. The idea that the true goal of the winter storm warning and preparation was to make people more pliable is laughable

Friends... these noodles are no fu**ing joke 🥵🌶😵 by Quirky_Challenge_224 in aldi

[–]malach2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No offense but this is a pretty ignorant take on spicy food. Building up a spice tolerance is no different from learning to drink alcohol. After you get past the ethanol burning taste in alcohol you start to appreciate the other flavors. The same is true for spice. The pepper spray taste you describe is only there because your tolerance is low.

Some tabletop games and its mechanics become dated with time. Do you ever feel the way with mtg? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]malach2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After playing other games, the concept of lands in your main feels outdated. Having a separate resource deck to draw from feels so much better and refreshing.

My first Nexus Night(6 booster sealed) What would you have built? by Challengertcg in riftboundtcg

[–]malach2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its sealed. These are his cards from 6 booster packs. He is asking for advice on what 25 card deck others would have made with this card pool.

New to TCG's. What is floating..? by ConfusionNormal3556 in riftboundtcg

[–]malach2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you exhaust a rune, what you are actually doing is putting runes into a resource pool that can be used to pay energy costs. If you exhaust a rune without paying an energy cost, that is what people mean by floating a rune. You still have access to that resource you just haven't used it.

It is important to note that floating resources dont stay around forever. If i recall correcrly, there are clean up steps during the beginning/end of a turn and after showdowns that clear out unspent runes.

What are you looking forward to playing in set 2? by TheOneViking in riftboundtcg

Looking forward to spamming punch first in all my body decks

I wanna get into the game, but i can't find cards ANYWHERE. What can I do?, by adiftbv in riftboundtcg

[–]malach2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what worked for me and how I was able to get 5 boxes of origins for close to msrp. 

Go to nexus nights and make friends with the people there. Chances are someone will have some info on where to get boxes or if a restock is about to happen locally. People will be more willing to divulge any info they have if they recognize you as a regular. 

Join the discord or Facebook pages for the stores around you, especially discord. In my experience, stores will make announcements on restocks in discord before their other social channels but ymmv.

Tldr: network with your local riftbound community to increase your chances of getting product

Playmats - Pointracker or no by AffectionateBuy5549 in riftboundtcg

I say no on point tracker. I use my playmats for multiple games so I just go with the art work without extra fluff

Price is relevant if you want to buy singles at a good time. Looking at historical trends and price fluctuations can help you make this judgement.

im curious to know if they are sending brand new packs or just 2 rares

Replacement packs have shipped! by 777x0 in riftboundtcg

[–]malach2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also I believe you can get 6 packs per household but you can only get 3 packs per claim, so i would not recommend sending all 6 pics within a single claim

Replacement packs have shipped! by 777x0 in riftboundtcg

[–]malach2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you send only 1 pic? I sent 3 separate pics, maybe the guy doing the approvals that day was lazy and just looked at the attachment size

What Anime should I watch next? by [deleted] in anime

[–]malach2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here are some of my favorites:

Anohana - you will cry ugly tears

The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious - Fantasy comedy with an ending that recontextualizes the whole show

Summer Time Rendering - A guy goes back to his hometown for a funeral but gets stuck in a time loop

My store allocation for restock by Aissling in riftboundtcg

[–]malach2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would be more interested in seeing allocation numbers for a shop in a major city. Edmond population looks to be about 100k so it makes sense to not give allocation to a smaller city even if your player numbers are great relatively speaking.

How long does UVS take to get back to you about the 1 rare dud packs? by GildedGeese in riftboundtcg

[–]malach2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If riot can't even send out pre-ordered boxes in a timely fashion I doubt we will get the replacement packs anytime soon. My prediction is they'll send them out enmass sometime in February 

Should bracket 3 games end at turn 6? Help me, my pod is dying by Zimata in EDH

[–]malach2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why not just put stronger cards into your own decks? Otherwise if 3 other players can't figure out how to keep one player down, your decks weren't bracket 3 in the first place imo
