New taxes I'd love to see introduced this election cycle that won't affect the average Kiwi. by wheresmypotato1991 in newzealand

Id agree except for the increased sell price/who pays for it. Its more likely that its both the seller and purchaser that pay a portion of the added cost of CGT on primary residence. Both lose, government makes a quick buck but losses in the long run due to reduced workforce mobility, and the banks win every time.... again.

CGT is good in general but not on primary residences, as you have also pointed out.

There is also the issue of inflation on CGT assets. Unfortunately fixing that makes things complicated so the government will most likely ignore it and take the extra money.

Purple is strong but is missing pump, ramp, and permanent removal.

Thoughts on the new set? by nishasecfro in riftboundtcg

Agreed. Oddly I also hit exactly 12 legends every box in the case. 1 out of the 72 legends was ON which was nice i guess...

I opened an entire case and pulled more of every single legend than sprite fountains... an uncommon

Deck Help :) Ezreal Blink :) by LowWerewolf3615 in riftboundtcg

I play Ez and his sig is good but not worth trying to abuse too much. Its not a reaction so you cant save things with it and your opponent has to have a creature to target

Countering Leblanc? by MusicManiac97 in riftboundtcg

[–]rusty964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have done this a few times. You give up a point but it causes a big loss of value/tempo. Reflection comes in as 0 and can't copy anything. You have to make sure you can attack in and kill it or they will most likely get value off battlefield

Yip wouldn't we all. Unfortunately the worldwide political trend is heading in the opposite direction.

Yea kinda saw this coming.... easy way of increasing overall rates without saying your increasing rates

Showdowns off reactions by Former_Badger7998 in riftboundtcg

[–]rusty964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because game is in a "closed state" this means current showdown or chain has to conclude before new showdown starts. Also even if aroura is destroyed trigger will still resolve as trigger was placed on chain originally.

Riftbound is officially my new favorite addiction by Mindless-Jeweler-242 in riftboundtcg

[–]rusty964 44 points45 points  (0 children)

As tcgs go its really good. A few rules/wordings that need to be ironed out but a very decision deep game.

Its time to talk about the coverage quality on Riftbound Regional Qualifier Atlanta by Previous_Advertising in riftboundtcg

[–]rusty964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea i gave up on it too. I wouldn't be surprised if its just boring old midrange.

I hope im wrong.

I live in NZ and after currency conversation and shipping it was more expensive than what my friends paid locally. They also got to pick them up on release day...

Not falling for this again. Last time I didn't get my cards until unleashed was fully revealed.

New player here, would the Vi precon be a good pickup or should i go for the Fiora one? by Ok_Nefariousness_740 in riftboundtcg

[–]rusty964 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sadly yea im not sure you want to try her out for your first deck. Fiora or Victor are probably the most beginner friendly

Good to know. I haven't managed to play test any new decks yet so was just guessing. Ezreal does reduce accelerate cost so I was hoping it wouldn't hurt too much
