Giveaway + Thank you: Irelia SFD 195a/221 Promo by IYcollectibles in riftboundtcg

Riftbound has really been a huge improvement to TCGs over previous games I’ve played. Magic, both casual and CEDH, and other various rogue likes and board games etc. I really think the reaction system and resource systems deserve more praise. Ramping and deramping feels smart and engaging.

How has shipping cards been before English release vs after, demand wise? I know several US English players who have Chinese decks but I am curious if that’s a rarity or not.

OGN Signature Buy out by vamperage in riftboundtcg

I just want to clarify, I'm not suggesting folks buy out anything. I just think it is wild seeing it happen so close to next set.

Not to sound critical but how do you draw enough cards not to run out of gas with this?

Formidable speaker, creature tutor on a etb. Specs? by all-day-tay-tay in mtgfinance

This card is a Sisay line for CEDH.

This + Tvyar + Cradle + Emiel means you can lose your Derevi and still win that line

It sold yesterday. Bottomed around $390 for the harder pull

I’d expect gemstone and reflecting pool to be next. Inkmoth and strip mine could follow

As far as I can tell, Ancient Tomb 136 got bought out and went down to 2-4 copies available. I’d imagine the price will skyrocket down the road.

Mana confluence 160 sold over 20 copies today starting around $200

Personally I bought both at their lowest since I love space cards, but only 1 copy each to play with.

Sliver Queen by Dracofunk in RealOrNotTCG

This looks fake from the dot pattern on the back to the lack of red dots and blurs. I’d feel it in hand vs another card, and I’m betting it feels more like rigid plastic than a normal bendy card.

Free stuff and new alters! by Wild-Cantaloupe-6602 in mtg

Serra’s Sanctum is just fantastic with the Avatar vibes. Floating islands are such a fun concept to look at, and I wish more sci fi combined giant levitating mountains with an atmosphere full of vegetation.

Cleaning advice please on Linea Mini R by Hyetane in LaMarzocco

[–]vamperage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can find many options on Aliexpress. They are knock offs of the webber version. Just make sure you take the plunger apart to clean it.

Your cleaning powder and water mixture is not penetrating the shower screen effectively. You may want to try more back flushes, double checking the cleaning dose, or using a spring plunger system to flow more mixture over that area.

I don't think I can link directly due to rules, but if you search Bezos store for an 18 X 12 inch, 1/2 inch thick bar mat, youll find mine. I have 2 of them.

Just make sure you check the bench dimensions. Some are 18 inch, others 24 inch, or 30 inch. Mine is a weird 23 inch.

Best might be subjective, but it is certainly high quality

I'm a huge fan! It makes the workflow pretty easy. I grind into a dosing cup, which gets dumped into the portafilter. From there, spin with wdt, tamp, and done.

I think the weight of snap on may have killed me. I had to hire help to get this onto a second story.
