Remember that when you throw down a Thousand-Tail Watcher, their Wielder of Water is still 2[M] so your trigger gets snapshotted at -1[M]. If you then run your 2[M] Pouty Poro into it, your poro will get extra pouty when the Wielder goes up to 3[M] on defense.

When carde.io completely breaks and insists on not pairing a player in your @riftbound.riotgames.com Skirmish so you have to manually make pairings and then manually make each match in the software.

Hey Riot, can we PLEASE move to something like @meleeplatform.bsky.social for this game?

This is just a reminder that once you pass priority for Teemo, Strategist to reveal cards, it is too late to react to save your unit if it flips lethal damage.

You have to use your Reactions first (but not Actions!)

Made #Riftbound recruit token cards for stocking stuffers ☺️ #leagueoflegends #art

Will hopefully have the next video finished late tomorrow or Friday! Triggers and Replacement Effects abound!

With Deathknell a major subject of v1.2 of the CR, a thought:

If your Tasty Faefolk would die in combat resolution, its trigger is put on the Chain *before* control of the battlefield changes, so you can use your hidden Zhonya's Hourglass as a reaction to it.

Today's brain teaser: If you play a Promising Future, what happens when...

...you play a Singularity and they play a Karma?

...you play a Karma and they play a Singularity?

Can the Karma ever be a target for the Singularity? Does she get to buff a unit?

With yesterday's CR update to v1.2 for #Spiritforged I had to re-cut and re-upload the latest video, so here's the updated Video #6 in the #BecomeAJudge series that includes the changes to cleanups!

Hey @riftbound.riotgames.com there's an error in your FAQ with today's Houston-related blog post.

Starting a showdown and the opponent Riding the Wind in *does* lead to the original contester being attacker, but rules are clear combat does not immediately start.

New video is on the way!

Fun question for today: what's the highest possible required Victory Score in Riftbound right now?

@davetron.bsky.social

Can you clarify a Tournament Rules question there hasn't been comment on from a Rioter yet?

422.2 says all cards "in a deck" must be sleeved identically - does that mean players cannot put their Chosen Champion in a different sleeve to ensure they don't forget to present?

Fun fact:

If you play a Darius, Trifarian and then Cleave targeting Darius, but your opponent reacts with Mystic Reversal to take control of your Cleave, you don't get the second card played trigger because you didn't control the Cleave when it became played!
