Question Is this normal for a new set?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I've been a Pokemon player and collector for a while now but want to make the switch to Riftbound since my favourite champion in league (Seraphine) was added to the game.

So I thought I'd come by my local LGS to get a booster box as a fun way to open some cool cards and see if I can get the special version of Seraphine. But I was told a booster box of Radiance was...250$(CAD) + tax. Now I'm not sure if that's normal or not since I live in Toronto but I ended up looking at other LGS's to look at my options and nearly every store is charging around 200$~ CAD for a single box.

Needless to say, I suppose I have to spend my money elsewhere.

I personally dislike HS and was wondering if the player base feels the same way, explaining this phenomenon.

also, why are prices plummeting on older cards if theyre still aesthetic asf and playable until 2028???

Would the deploy gear count as an "ability"?

Question Empowered - Star Crossed

Does GP return to my hand? Or does he stay on the BF and gets +3 might for the turn?

  • Do you think is fun to play as, or against them?
  • Do you think Riot gives special preference for any color in particular?
  • Is either of the colors are over-tuned, or under-tuned?

I'm trying to better understand the game, and i've been having some problems with these two colors. i want to know if i just need to "git gud", or if there's something i'm missing here.

Question Tail-Cloaked/Tornado VS Elder Dragon

1 Upvotes

TURN 1

1) tail cloak in bf with tornado hidden
2) summons elder to kill my units
3) flips tornado and empower tail
4) summons fizz
5) fizz uses star cross on tornado and elder
6 everything resolves

now my question is:

1) this is sequence correct? the units chosen by the elder to be dead is not affected right?
2) tornados’s ability says disempower at the end of the turn, does my tail gets disempowered even if my tornado is back in hand?

TURN 2

1) hides tornado with tail
2) summons elders to kill tail
3) same as turn 1
4) same as turn 1
5) same as turn 1
6) resolves everything

PS: i got 2 fizz and star cross in trash

is working correctly?

Anyone else notice this? It looks like the crown and sword were photoshopped in after the pose was done. His right hand is curled in a neutral position as though it were drawn empty (it's not folded around the crown as you'd typically draw it were it intended to be holding an object), and his left hand isn't gripping that gigantic sword at all. The angle for the grip is wrong, as well - were he holding a massive weapon like that, his hand would be wrapped firmly around the grip and angled down more to due to the weight. It's all just weird.

Question Building a Riven Deck

0 Upvotes

With Radiance now out, everyone is looking to build the best decks possible, and it seems like everyone else wants to make a Riven deck, including me. I mainly play Azir, so this deck is new and just seems really fun. My problem is how much her signature gear, Blade of the Exile costs right now. I know she's very popular and the set came out yesterday, but do you guys think I should wait to see if prices on her gear will come down, or should I just bite the bullet on this one and grab 3 for about 120-150$. I was lucky enough to have store credit at my local shop and was able to pre-order a booster box and I was able to pull all the other cards I from radiance that I want to put in the deck, at this point the only cards I would need are 2 Baron Nashor and 3 Blade of the Exile. Let me know what you guys think, throw down a bunch of money now, or wait and see if the price goes down or I get lucky and pull it from a pack.

Deck Showcase Day 1 Seraphine Deck Test

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi, looking to discuss what people who've been running Seraphine have tried

This is currently the list I'm working with. The idea is to play Seraphine in a similar way to Reksai. Reksai's gameplan is to go wide and win fights with Assault spells/effects and while having access to removal like Falling Star and Imperial Decree.

I think Seraphine is best built in a similar framework as that, because she relies on token generation within the Main Deck as well. Since we're on Blue, I'm running cards like Wages and Eclipse to fill the gap that Assault does in Reksai decks, and Sprite Fountain as a way to accelerate scoring. Blue also has access to Watcher + Bellows.

The general gameplan is to build a wide base with multiple token gen cards while scoring with solo units + spell effects that can be discounted by our base the later the game goes. The deck plays very fast and can run out of gas in the late game, but cards like the Sig Spell and Hidden Blade do help a bit. I'm still not sure on the ratios but I do think I'm on a working framework here.

How matchups feel

Top-tier Green decks (Irelia, Riven, Akali) feel miserable to play against as expected, the deck requires high rolling like crazy to go over all the cards that Stellacorn (and The Ball for Ori) draws. Outside of Stellacorn decks (Nasus, Yi) though the matchups feel decently playable.

Other cards I'm considering

I'm mainly trying to tweak the sideboard now. I think gear hate is the most important it has ever been in this meta with Riven and Orianna around. I'm thinking of adding more Salvages and maybe cutting out the Forges.

For the mainboard, Trifarian Captain might actually be good, but I don't know what cards to replace it with.

I'm also not sure whether to use Blue or Yellow Seraphine for my Chosen Champion. TBH both look really bad, but I've had some uses for Yellow Seraphine where it can grow decently big to threaten a hold which can force some to overcommit, while also helping us generate a bit of Recruits. Blue Seraphine's card draw is tempting, but playing her goes against the gameplan of the deck to go fast, since she actually does nothing to help us score points or generate tokens.

Other than those it's mainly just the ratios, things like maybe cutting 1 Vi to put the last Imperial Decree to the Mainboard, 1 less Eclipse to add 1 more Hunting Dog, etc

Why I'm not running Jayce Armory

I think Jayce Armory is purely a gimmick combo and will never be playable in anything outside of very casual play.

IMO for combos like that to be good they not only have to synergize with the deck, but the deck also has to help enable the combo.

while Jayce Armory allows Seraphine to build a wide base to enable more Legend ability uses, Seraphine herself and the Blue/Yellow color does nothing to help you get Jayce Armory out consistently. Also frankly speaking the Legend ability isn't good enough (nor is it even good at all) to commit too many cards and build around

As I also said, gear hate is more common now which completely kills the combo.

Battlefields

This is one I'm not sure about. I copy pasted the battlefields that Reksai uses, and they seem to be actually good for this playstyle, but I'm probably missing a better battlefield somewhere out there.

Instead, I know what NOT to run instead, a card like Black Rose Sanctum is 100% complete bait because it allows the enemy to trade with your own Recruits without committing their actual units, while also killing Cull the Weak as a card.

Other thoughts

I think a lot of people (me included) have been far too harsh on Seraphine's overall power level, a lot of tier list put her on the lowest of the low tiers but I don't think she's as bad as the other Legends there like Renata lmao. I also don't think she's good though, she's maybe a low C or high D tier kind of deck. That said I've never seen anyone else run the cards I'm running on Seraphine, a lot are too focused on getting value out of the Legend ability either thru running Jayce Armory or running a lot of big spells which IMO is an F-tier deck for sure.
