Finally home from RQ Hartford and I present to you my kitty Saphira

@RojanTCG @Doowan_ Reflexive triggers are created from another chain item. Specifically when the chain item says “do this” or similar they are used when they need to reference something from the original chain item Rell, and Hweii make reflexive triggers, so does Disintegrate and Dragon’s Rage

@Doowan_ What does “reflexive trigger” means by definition?

I will dedicate a post by going into extreme detail that provides additional context to John’s video. For both Leblanc Deceiver and Mirror Image, there are two windows to react: - The trigger/spell itself - Its reflexive trigger Now here are the possible scenarios on what happens when an enemy reacts with an item that removes your intended unit. Leblanc Deceiver (React to trigger itself & intended unit of target IS alone at BF) - Your intended unit is removed (by enemy reaction). - Trigger resolves; play Reflection token at BF, and add reflexive trigger as pending item. - Finalize reflexive trigger: a choice to target has to be made ("another unit there"). There is no other unit. The trigger fails to finalize and is removed from the chain. - Result: A simple Reflection token that has NO Temporary. Leblanc Deceiver (React to trigger itself & intended unit of target is NOT alone at BF) - Your intended unit is removed (by enemy reaction). - Trigger resolves; play Reflection token at BF, and add reflexive trigger as pending item. - Finalize reflexive trigger: a choice to target has to be made ("another unit there"). There is at least 1 other unit; you select it. The chain item finalizes. - Result: A Reflection token that copies a unit that was NOT the intended unit and has Temporary. Leblanc Deceiver (React to reflexive trigger) - Trigger resolves; play Reflection token at BF, and add reflexive trigger as pending item. - Finalize reflexive trigger: a choice to target has to be made. You choose your intended unit. The chain item finalizes. - Your intended unit is removed (by enemy reaction). - Result: A Reflection token that whiffs its copy (no longer "there") and has Temporary. Mirror Image (React to spell itself) - Your chosen unit is removed (by enemy reaction). - Mirror Image resolves; play Reflection token at base, and add reflexive trigger as pending item. - Finalize reflexive trigger: no choices of targets are made (this is a programmatic determination). The chain item finalizes. - Result: A Reflection token that whiffs its copy ("that unit" is gone) and has Temporary. Mirror Image (React to reflexive trigger itself) - Mirror Image resolves; play Reflection token at base, and add reflexive trigger as pending item. - Finalize reflexive trigger: no choices of targets are made (this is a programmatic determination). The chain item finalizes. - Your chosen unit is removed (by enemy reaction). - Result: A Reflection token that whiffs its copy ("that unit" is gone) and has Temporary. So to summarize this all up, the ONLY time an uncopied Reflection Token will be played without Temporary is when reacting to Leblanc Deceiver trigger and the unit conquered/held alone. That is it. 95% of the time, the enemy player will want it so that the Reflection token will have Temporary and whiff its copy. So if you are playing against a Leblanc (that likes to angle shoot or ruleshark), make it abundantly clear that you are reacting TO THE REFLEXIVE TRIGGER. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

@ravster49 Sunday I got a lot of calls from players wanting to assure themselves of rules interactions so I would say exhaustion is real for a lot of players

after #RQHartford I have realized that event endurance is a bigger factor than people admit. im used to it due to playing 10-15 games a day from testing and scirms, but for the average player who just plays nexus nights, do you think its a big factor?

@queuep0p ✋

Would any Riftbound players or creators be interested in an Aram tourney ? I’m kinda having an itch to organize something fun like clash but for the tcg gamers :3

TO THE RIFTBOUND COMMUNITY Top Cut Games and Krashy are banned from the Pokemon community. Why? Transphobia, SA, and multiple instances with women that he wouldn't listen to them say "no." He is banned from the Texas TCG community, so he made a mad dash to Riftbound.

@Doowan_ @grentontv @Troylol1 One of the best judges

Wow Hartford, I am speechless. That was the best #Riftbound experience I’ve had. There were so many people I met and each interaction felt amazingly positive. It was an immense privilege to judge the top 8 and top 4 matches and I hope I didn’t disappoint 😊

@Kaitthh @CTCGVillionaire One of my locals players so proud of Zander!

Why was that the absolute cutest thing I've ever seen??? The fact that such a young player who looked up to @CTCGVillionaire won best of Voli seriously warms my heart so much 🥹

Was great seeing @grentontv, @Doowan_ , and a bunch of other wonderful judge friends this weekend Two great takeaways from this weekend 1) I need to get back into shape 2) I still need to take more photos of myself and get others to take photos of me

Saturday judging done

@DimiccoDiana Omen, Tabu and Gavin all confirmed legends

PSA if you ask me what legends are coming in Vendetta this weekend I will lie and start making up new legends.

@grentontv Safe travels

At the airport now. Hartford see you soon ✈️

@grentontv I’ll have to get my Grenton pic

I fly out to #RQHartford tomorrow! If you see me at the event, come say hi! I am HORRIBLE at taking pictures but I'd love to have more memories of the events I go to, so pictures are more than welcomed and appreciated :D Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Excited to get to hang out with friends at RQ Hartford this upcoming weekend and hoping to make more there!

As the World Cup starts I’m hoping we can put a sixth star on this crest, it’s going to be a tough battle but I’ll be watching every game to the end!

PSA: your nexus night is not speed dating if a girl is at your locals to play a TCG, she’s there to play a TCG

@grentontv Protect your mental! If you ever need an ear you can reach out!

Yo gamers, Mental is kind of in the shitter these last few days. May take a little step back from socials and stuff this week to try to screw my head on back straight. Love you all <3

@MillThat More correctly it’s pending on the chain prior to them going to the trash and when we make relevant choices to finalize the chain item Leblanc and Glasc will be in the trash so Leblanc will be a legal target.

Yes, Deathknell goes on the stack after Leblanc is in your trash

worth a shot 🥲 i was invited to attend #RQVancouver as a creator, but after stepping away from work because of health issues + moving, affording the trip has been really difficult. if anyone wants to help me get there, i’d appreciate it more than anything 🥹⤵️

@anzidmtg @grentontv @Doowan_ Not Gerry or Steven but, this does not apply to stupefy. The reason this works with stun is how stun is specifically worded with rule 423.1.a.2 #rule_423.1.a.2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">jeff425.github.io/hyperlinked-rb… Which specifies that stun drops off at the beginning for the end step rather than the end of turn cleanup

so does this also apply to annie? what if i stupefy something in response to the annie trigger? @grentontv @Doowan_

Me and my favorite binder pages. Each one of these is signed by a friend I’ve made in the short time this game has come out. TCGs, and Riftbound in particular, have been some of the most positive things in my life over the past 6 months.
