ngl they popped off with this ban announcement. I never even considered battlefields as a part of the discussion, but after reading their article I think they're such good ban targets.
RIP Obelisk tho. Loved that one.
Big day in Riftbound! Rules updates for Unleashed, and also our first bans with reasoning. Please read!

They printed better Ponder into the game where a deck is 2/3 the size and a Foresee that costs 0 "mana", both of which can be played on an opponent's turn. Also, based on how efficient movement spells are in the game, I really do feel like they just did not test the game for 1v1.
#Riftbound is a ton of fun as a game; I think the base gameplay loop is beautifully designed. The runes, battlefields, and legends cards are strokes of genius and make the game compelling. That said, I think they are struggling designing individual cards for their game. Purple in particular.
"Chill" will be an understatement, I expect.
My 2 cents is to just ban Stacked Deck and Called Shot. They provide way too much consistency, extend round timers, and absolutely will cause long-term issues for the game. Things like Ponder and Preordain are arguably worse than Stacked Deck and have been deemed too good for MTG.
My small town in KY high school took the entire senior class to his inauguration. The hope and optimism was incredible. It was the closest a lot of us got to patriotism.
I gentle parent myself. "Well what did you expect to happen, bud? Won't do it that way again, will ya?" I've had to recover from being excessively self-critical so this is the correction I have gone with. =P
Watching Stark get nervous, kicking my feet. Fern's outfit was sooooo cute!
FAILED TO ADD TO CART OH NOOOOOOO #Riftbound @riftbound.riotgames.com
Also, Obelisk allows for more turn 1s where you have 2 units, which is super good with the deck.
I just think the matchup is good if you know how to play it. Viktor is good at flooding the board and double-capping, while Kai'sa is good at getting on a battlefield but has a hard time getting two if units are removed. You out-pace them and Singularity is often back-breaking.
My loss to Teemo was definitely me not knowing how to navigate that matchup. Them being able to play hidden units kinda throws off how I know to play the Viktor deck, and I got absolutely blown out on an unnecessarily risky play g1.
The loss to Annie was them playing 3 Ride the Winds in g3.

This past weekend, I placed 11th out of 155 people at a #Riftbound 5K with this Viktor list.
R1 won vs Kai'sa
R2 won vs Kai'sa
R3 lost vs Teemo
R4 won vs Annie
R5 won vs Kai'sa
R6 lost vs Annie (heartbreaker)
R7 won vs Kai'sa
R8 won vs Kai'sa
6-2
Overall, being 5-0 on the day vs Kai'sa felt great.
This was a nice, quick read that echoes a lot of the same sentiments and excitement I have for Riftbound. I'm sooooo excited to share this game with friends and see what the OP system is about.
please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you
I named my bean Cassoulet!! I'm loving the app so far!
Finding out about grayboxing as a means of prototyping 3d games has been a revelation. I was previously worried about getting into 3d because it seemed so daunting, but using very simple shapes to just get the idea across is a very nice first step. #gamedev #godot
Ando San for me. I think he's doing something really unique.
I got a Stearns and Foster Hybrid a few years ago and it was the best purchase I've ever made. I went to a Sleep Outfitters and tried a bunch of different mattresses out.
At this point I am convinced that you cannot become a billionaire without being a huge fucking loser.
That's so exciting! I got to see him in Nashville and he was sooooooooo good! I also have tickets to see him again because he's gonna be in my town!!! I hope you have a great time!
Currently just play Magic, but I think Legends of Runeterra has a really cool and innovative way to do turns. The "initiative/attack token" passing with both players being able to act on each turn made games feel interactive and dynamic.
I finally played this game for the first time a week or so ago after listening to yours and Basso's podcast episodes on the Game Maker's Notebook. Incredible game, and I really loved all of the passion that everyone showed in those podcasts.
oooo I should do a spring vegetable pasta! Do you have a recipe or did you kinda just throw it together?
Man in the Box for me
Your creature dealt 2 damage, so it can't cast the 3 drop.
Oh nooooo the stream sounds !!! 😂😭
Been hard at working learning more of #godotengine and I'm really happy with where I am right now. I am able to randomize a deck, draw from it, and have it persist through game closing. I'll be working on some simple health bars and other combat mechanics next. #gamedev
