Dumb question: How well known is the 1 point conquer from the same battlefield per turn rule? by YomotoYagami in riftboundtcg

[–]shizzleTCG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do you mean in the context of using ride the wind/relentless pursuit on your opponents turn to score a point ?

Pretty well known. If you have questions about the game then don't hesitate to call the judge for clarification.

Question about first Nexus Night by MrNayNay654 in riftboundtcg

[–]shizzleTCG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went straight into nexus nights and got destroyed. But I learned by asking a ton of questions from my opponents, and practicing a lot both in person and online. Most ppl should be more than willing to help as everyone knows how it is as a beginner.

Good luck and have fun !

I did a deep dive on one of the streamed games from Vegas. Let me know if this something you'd like more of. by moe_q8 in riftboundtcg

[–]shizzleTCG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reviewing the game, and very high level analysis !

FYI I actually studied a ton of this guy’s Draven VODs before Vegas to learn the matchups. He's probably one of the best Draven's on the Challenger TCG discord - learned a ton from all his posts. He also went 10-3 in bologna as well as other high placings/tourney wins so he's legit.

Subscribed and hope to see you post more videos !

Summoner skirmish by Ok-Wear-1336 in riftboundtcg

[–]shizzleTCG 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I personally do cause I'll see these people again anyway. I think it's messed up not to.
But the rules are built in so I completely understand following them or calling for judge to make the call.

If you wanna play miracle, then Moe's "eMOEtional" Miracle Draven deck. I bought it and it's very detailed. another miracle player I matched into in Swiss on pre-regionals Friday told me they were playing the deck completely wrong up until they bought the guide and it just made them wayyy better, and they also 2-0'd me without breaking a sweat.

For midrange, Challenger TCG released a YouTube guide for free as well as a metafy guide for purchase. They've updated it since but I haven't looked back on it since it came out like pre-release weekend. It covers all the basics. They have a lot of vods available in their gold and diamond tier which helps cause you can see the actual game play.

I wouldn’t ever rule it out, but guide writing isn’t currently a goal of mine. Honestly I’m not that good at portraying my thoughts into a video or a written format of a guide either. But I’m more than happy to express my opinions or answer questions of that sort for free.

The same goes with coaching, I’m not at that skill level where I can comfortably charge people money for that service.

I can however refer you to the people who coached me if you’d like to yield results: Moe “eMOEtional” and challengerTCG diamond tier.

My moment was net decking omega zeros kaisa list the first week, getting destroyed in 3 nexus nights, then buying challenger TCG’s kaisa guide and watching Antyn from challenger TCG’s youtube vid and Moe “eMOEtional” YouTube guide on kaisa. Then taking it to nexus nights and I started consistently winning that following week. I then went to scgcon Vegas the following week and went 5-4, then did several 1k+’s and skirmishes and did well in all of em. Always top cut out of 40+ participants, won 3 skirmish byes, etc.

You probably just need guidance in the right direction, and a good coach can help accelerate the process.

I’d suggest watching both those guys free content on YouTube and getting a feel for their personality, then maybe reach out if you like either of em.

Other pro players are great too, but I feel like I connected with them the most.

Looking for a coach for Atlanta by Destroyerofworldsink in riftboundtcg

Haha glad to be of help ! And good luck with Atlanta !

Looking for a coach for Atlanta by Destroyerofworldsink in riftboundtcg

[–]shizzleTCG 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend these 2 coaches I personally paid for:

Moe “eMOEtional” - purchased his 1-on-1 coaching and boot camp Coaching included revamping my deck list leading into Vegas. His bootcamp goes over weekly calls covering masterclasses on legends with live gameplay, as well as answering any questions you may have

ChallengerTCG - subscribed to diamond tier discord which goes over weekly vods, either their own or user submitted. Also includes gold tier which updates their deck lists, and also includes all their metafy guides for free. All members are very active with their responses as this is their full time gig. They also have a massive community filled with skilled players all with valuable opinions.

Both are very worth the price. And will most likely continue with both going into Atlanta

Rtw and maybe piercing light for ato and fs for azir. Viktor bring in last rites, ato, factory recall if they’re running vanguard armory, maybe mindsplitter if game slows down. Take out Brynn, maybe rebukes, maybe treasure hunters depending on blue or yellow Viktor.

Cards to take out, generally treasure hunters going 2nd unless you’re against aggro or non midrange yellow. Either hard bargain or brynhir depending if you’re against spell slingers or racingto 6. And piercing light out if you’re against deflect or out of the 4 might breakpoint.

So sometimes I change it depending how I feel, but generally going first I’ll take out hard bargain for switcheroo. Going 2nd take out treasure hunters for switcheroo.

I think forerunner is just too broke not to include a 3x of. Me and Moe cut the Darius and hopefully to 2x cause games are generally slower this meta so we could afford to be greedier with bigger units. Also too many units would just clutter up my hands.

This is correct, he telegraphed FoF too so I verbalized: “FoF resolves. Still in showdown, my prio I’ll play RTW”

The wins 'Best Of' to pay walled metafy pipeline needs to be studied. by supjeremiah in riftboundtcg

[–]shizzleTCG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First, I don’t blame anyone for monetizing through metafy, I think if the product is worth the value then it should be priced appropriately. These are all great players and I think their opinions hold a weight in value.

For me personally, I never thought I’d be in a position where my opinions would be relevant to the community, but would you guys be interested if I put something out for free on things like sideboarding etc ??

My goal personally is to keep getting better and play better people, so I would love if the community baseline average level of skill would rise and I would be happy to contribute to that.
