WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE I AM!!!

@tronisbad @mercgg im saving my prime for you 🤝

@NackD_ @mercgg Proud of you dude we all gonna make it Same thing been happening with my streams since i started streaming Riftbound

what an amazing stream tn man huge shoutout to all the @mercgg practice squad for passing down their infinite knowledge to my small rumble brain streaming riftbound is the first time I've ever had an active chat and people dropping primes this is what dreams are made of, i💜yall

@tronisbad ggs man i hope no one draws gear hate against you ever

Just want everyone to know that I beat the best of Rumble in the world @NackD_ smooches <3

it got better @playriftbound #MERC #RQHARTFORD

@housesarebig my 1-of against the odds my sideboard won me my best-of lmao

I've noticed that Riftbound decks have a lot of room for high impact 1-of cards. A lot of these cards tend to have diminishing returns, being broken exactly one time and having more than 1 in your hand might be detrimental. Primal Strength is a card I put in this category.

@Mcburnsssy feel you there man

@NackD_ Honestly ive been on the fence of paying for coaching from prismat, Alan and them cause fuck i wanna know where im slacking outside of my side boarding

Genuine question to anyone who pays for coaching/discord access with the intention of getting better at Riftbound, is it actually worth it? Was thinking of doing a YT video where I try coaching to answer that question myself and document my experience + progression as a player

we talkin bout practice twitch.tv/nackd

@babar21221942 So do you think all the best players of any game in the world, whether it be a sport, video game, card game etc, get good on their own without utilizing any resources like coaching or guidance?

@NackD_ People who buy guides are just lazy. You must improve by yourself by playing. If someone else give you the key you won’t adapt your mind

@hunnybaes @MacTXD Ok I might need to put in a commission request

Speaking on custom Riftbound cards, I'm doing a couple right now 🥰 I'm cooking!!!!

Now give us packs of riftbound next

New video out now tap in‼️ link below 👇

@millertwj Solid take

@NackD_ If paying for a Discord or a Metafy won you a match at an RQ, it’s worth it. Coaching can be viewed the same way. Coaching would be more beneficial than a Metafy because you should get the same info, but you can also ask specific questions the guide might not answer.

Time to share the worst kept secret on Riftbound twitter… Introducing #MERCRiftbound for RQ Hartford! @BigBoyRipsTCG @tronisbad @EMPERIC @powyzs @NackD_ @braceish @GYATarina @limitedteddy_

@CTCGVillionaire Ive found that theres a direct correlation between my delusion and my success 😂

I succeed because I am crazy enough to think I can 🐻‍❄️

@dunctcg @Fiderobombastiq Yeah just a matter of actually drawing it. But also the deramp is pretty painful if I dont have gold active as well. Rumble just struggles against fast decks bc I have to burn a lot of resources to keep up

@NackD_ @Fiderobombastiq I feel like all you need is a falling star to deal with me though

Best-of Rumble just time warpped on my ass TWICE to win Game 1 and Game 3. you're so hot and handsome @NackD_

@babar21221942 What makes you say that?

@NackD_ It s totally useless to pay for a guide

@Aberogus 100%

@NackD_ Regardless of if it is worth it or not, making a video on it would be pretty cool, as long as you also tell the coach beforehand, cause maybe they don't want free vods of their coaching running around (cause it's free) or maybe they do (cause advertisement)

@dunctcg @Fiderobombastiq Lillia destroys rumble if rumble does not draw absolutely perfectly 😂😂

@Fiderobombastiq @NackD_ Falling Star is hard to deal with, but outside of that it's a pretty good Lillia matchup. He pulled no FS Game 2 and I won in like 3 minutes haha, it was fast asf.

@itsDuulan Yoo thanks for the reply Dylan, very insightful. Definitely makes me a lot more interested. Much appreciated man 🤝

I'll answer as someone who considers myself in the upper percentile of player skill: it's very much worth it. I consider myself probably a ~90-95th percentile player. My natural skill and work ethic will usually get me that far in any game I touch. When I played Magic for many years, this was true. Riftbound, so far, has followed the same path. One mistake I made while playing Magic was not understanding the gap between a 95th or even 98th percentile player and the top 1%. The gap between Alanzq and I is probably 5x the gap between me and a brand new player. One thing I told myself when getting back into competitive card games with Riftbound is that I would actively seek out the guidance of those players so that I could figure out how to close the gap. I deeply, deeply regret not doing this when I was playing competitive MTG. This is all to say: if coaching/paid discord access is valuable to a player in my shoes, it is worth leaps and bounds more to the average player.
