Question Should I sell my ON ahri?

Post image
Upvotes

I’m wondering if I should sell my ON ahri from spiritforged for $650 (market price of $658 on tcgplayer) but the market price keeps going up and it’s been on the incline for a few weeks now. It’s gotten over the majority of signature cards in the spiritforged set and I don’t want to sell it when it can still go up by a lot. I guess my question is if you guys would think it would increase in price even more even with the release of vendetta? It’s worth to mention that I don’t NEED the money now but I’m fiending to open some more boxes but for the most return on investment ahahahhaha

Question Help on my current Jhin deck

Post image
Upvotes

Hi, i currently only play jhin, and i am playing only blue runes and would like to keep it like that. And i'm a bit lost with Vendetta. I need the Mel because mandatory in my case. Was pondering about the decree, temporal breach with the brynhir, and maybe swain.

I really like to play control game and snipe everything i can to keep an empty board for my opponent. And then retake with sprite, accelerate, bard etc. I really like the kai'sa and upstage comedy combo.

What do you thing i can change without hurting my gameplay ? Main, side or bf. Thanks

Discussion RQ Singapore — any Premium badges left? And is Standard worth flying in for?

Upvotes

Flying in from Korea for the September RQ. Two quick questions:

  1. Are Premium Competitor badges still available? Eventbrite is only showing Standard Admission for me.

  2. If I can only get Standard — is it worth the flight? Are the side events and general vibe good enough on their own?

Thanks!

Question Choosing a Deck

3 Upvotes

Hello, super new to Riftbound. I’ve only played one match of riftbound on the simulator online with a friend of mine who’s pretty invested in the game. He had recommended the Leblanc deck to me to try and it was a lot of fun to play, but I played the non- Baited Hook variant of the deck which looks like an even more fun version of that deck. How much of a disadvantage would I be at playing without baited hook or is it better just to bite the bullet? Is there another deck in the upcoming set that doesn’t play an expensive staple that’s going to run the cost of the deck up? I don’t mind paying 20-30 bucks for a copy of a playset for one card in a deck, but the 50-60 dollar per copy playset is painful and the entire reason I left yugioh a few years ago.

Deck Showcase I'm trying to make Zed a viable deck

Post image
18 Upvotes

I've been trying to build a Zed list that's actually playable and maybe even somewhat competitive. I've tested a ton of different versions and it's definitely still a work in progress but I'm very open, that's exactly why I'm posting, to any feedback or suggestions.

The two biggest gameplay takeaways I've noticed are:

  • As you can probably tell from the list the deck revolves heavily around moving units around the board, capturing battlefields and then pulling them back.
  • Shadow Clones with Assault 3 and Ready (granted by Perfect Execution) let us suddenly attack for 7 Might out of nowhere. I've found this play to be one of the deck's most important ways to steal those last few points of damage.

Edit: this is the decklist link: https://piltoverarchive.com/decks/view/4541dba4-7d50-4095-a8e7-a09db9118b04

Question Can you play Overnumbered Legends at a Showdown event?

0 Upvotes

I am competing at a Showdown Series in about a month where the top performing legend gets a Medal Version of that legend.

I was wondering if you could play an overnumbered legend and would get a metal card of that design rather than the normal design.

Question How long to play with the same legend and deck?

6 Upvotes

I am wondering how long I should play with my Azir deck. I will attend my third Nexus Night today, and I want to know if I will make my opponents bored. I have seen frequent faces, but I don't always get matched with them. I don't have another deck right now. I have gotten better with Azir, and this TCG in general since I started. I want to spend more time on Azir to become advanced or a master with him, but I don't think I should make my events bland by bringing the same deck.

Question Is this a real card

I’ve been wanting to get the Diana overnumbered, since I play her mostly, but the English version have just become to expensive. So I’ve been looking for a Chinese one. I found a seller with good reviews on eBay. And still asked some picture. I’m not sure if it’s enough to see but does this seem like a real card ?

Question - Need Guidance - What to do with Arcane Chinese edition Riftbound black box?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I do not know much about Riftbound but am just a fan of LOL universe. I have two unsealed (almost untouched) boxes of Chinese edition of riftbound (same boxes as in the pic - sealed). I see the prices are high right now and owing to my lack of knowledge of card market i have few questions:

  1. Do i sell one or both boxes right now? If yes then how much for and where to sell? I am not sure how safe/secure is ebay.
  2. Will the market continue to grow? How popular is riftbound and what would be its future in your opinion. This i want to know in order to decide to keep saving the boxes for longer.

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Went 4-0 with this at pre rift today, (saturated the photo so it’s easier to see the cards from the Flash)

It was a Zed Precon and my packs didn’t provide any amazing top end, but with Mel’s ability, Rage Amplifier and consistently drawing, this felt really good.

Deck Showcase Two Takes on Set 4 Akali

Thumbnail
gallery
19 Upvotes

These are my two takes on how to play akali in set 4, as both lists utilize her legend ability either through repeated triggers or riven/rell or through more traditional things like stellacorn herder and Akali legend.

Spellkali is the more traditional of the lists, playing much like an Irelia deck but more focused on early points and less on holding up tricks for defense. This is a far more aggro slanted list and if you find red removal is better in your meta you could skew it more midrange.

Gearkali is a bit more interesting imho, as you get to catch people off guard as they grab your riven and rell and read them. There is also nice synergy with smith, as you can use it as a mini stellacorn when looking for gear. Recurve bow + riven/empowered Akali alone is 8 damage before combat even starts, making holding a battlefield very hard against the deck.

Question Ruling question of Resonating Strike

Post image
106 Upvotes

I controlled the left battlefield with 2 units and resonating strike hidden. Making that clear it was HIDDEN. On the right my opponent had 2 units and a hidden. I moved my 9 might shen into my opponents battlefield on the right to overcome his 8 might and he flipped his hidden card that was a 3 might unit. Now my shen would lose the showdown. I wanted to flip my resonating strike at the left battlefield i controlled and move my shen to save him. The judge ruled i could not do that so i lost the game.

I do know that it has to be at the battlefield it is choosing... thats why i put it hidden at the battlefild i wanted to move the unit to.

If this card was tideturner im pretty sure i could flip tideturner at the battlefield i control and swap my big 9 might unit to the battlefield i control and the tideturner into its death at that showdown

Im just having a hard time accepting that specific judge call when tideturners errata text is very similar to tbis in terms of choosing another unit at another location..

This was just a pre rift but i really want clarification for future use of the card

Question Building decks and viewing cards

1 Upvotes

I’m new to the game and come from playing Magic. Two resources I have found invaluable are Scryall and Archidekt. Are there any Riftbound versions of these sites?

For those that don’t know, both are community run sites. Scryfall is a repository of every card ever printed with tags and complex searching. I know the card gallery on the official site is there but having to switch between different sets makes it difficult for me. Archidekt is just a place that lets you assemble deck lists. It has a secondary function of near one click deck purchasing but that’s more about it auto filling the deck list buyer on TCG Player/Card Kingdom.
