@FlexslotMarty @NRGSeries Congrats to you too! Maybe at champs we'll actually get to play one out.

@D1agram_RB @NRGSeries Congrats again! One of these days our match wont be an ID or Split...

Split the finals of yesterday's @NRGSeries 5k with this Azir deck. List felt pretty good and Azir feels pretty well positioned early on in the unleashed meta.

@EventfulHor1zon @AspirantClimbRB Game 1 can be competitive if they have a good draw but you get cull and salvage post board so the post board games feel pretty favored. (4/4)

@EventfulHor1zon @AspirantClimbRB Need to save it to hit a flurry of blades when you're pushing post dragon coming down. Since most lists play splitter it's fine to play Arise! early just to make as much power as you can before they can potentially discard it. (3/X)

Here is the list that @D1agram_RB split the finals of the NRG 5k with today!

@HelloImBrian1 @NRGSeries I'm mostly looking to remove the interaction/tech cards. Since your gear mostly doubles as units you mainly want to keep them to make sure you can keep producing units and fuel your Arise since it's typically the most powerful card in the deck.

@D1agram_RB @NRGSeries can I ask what you look to side out? are you ever siding out equipment or is it mostly the interaction for the salvages etc.

@Dense_LoL @AspirantClimbRB @riftdecks Against the vex deck specifically they tend to have a hard time conquering and can be a bit slower to score since they focus on holding so you usually have time to just play an Arise and make a bunch of guys in base that can push the following turn.

@Dense_LoL @AspirantClimbRB @riftdecks Mostly I aim to build up in base by using hall of legends G1 to make an extra token or repeating deserts call. Then we can try to push with multiple units to play through their removal and back offs. Brutalizer and sword making your soldiers 5 power lines up well (1/2).

@CallMeBoostin @NRGSeries I was reasonably impressed with them, it felt like it gave an added dimension especially in games where I didn't draw a brutalizer or BF sword so I couldn't make big units. It let me still push and preserve a lot of might on board with the stun.

@D1agram_RB @NRGSeries How was Vi for you? Aside from small differences in quantities I think that’s the only difference between the list I’m playing and yours. I still have 2 copies of Shears which have been good for me still.

Keep an eye out for a couple free guides my Riftbound teammates will be releasing for their best of winning Lucian and Jinx decks from the Atlanta Regional.
