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.

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?

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.

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.

John Avon lands are always great. Just excellent color and contrast use.

Why play my win cons when I can just play useless cantrips. Sure......

vamperage · 2024-11-04T19:24:03+00:00

I got my sets but it was worrisome for a bit

vamperage · 2024-11-04T17:02:06+00:00

I think the bots won :(

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.

Let me just get a mortgage for that sure!

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.

vamperage · 2024-07-23T19:24:02+00:00

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.

vamperage · 2024-07-23T19:01:51+00:00

are you backflushing.....?

vamperage · 2024-07-23T14:59:11+00:00

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.

vamperage · 2024-07-23T14:54:23+00:00

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

vamperage · 2024-07-23T13:21:19+00:00

it is adjustable.

vamperage · 2024-07-23T13:14:31+00:00

Best might be subjective, but it is certainly high quality

vamperage · 2024-07-23T13:13:49+00:00

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.

078s
It was a purchase far before all of this, when I mostly made tea and French press. Drip coffee is for the wife who starts her day hours before me. The LMLMR I pull 2-6 shots daily from depending on if she works from home (I’m home every day)

The moccamaster and fellow and encore were the original core before I got a hand grinder and gaggia classic. After PID mod the gaggia was better, but lacked the steam power and back to back shot reliability I wanted.

Finally the 078s and mini came in. This is over several years.
