@Saucekayx agreed 👍

Clearly the better duo

11-2 at Sydney RQ 0-5 against my friends in my home

@keenan_rb @riftdecks Vilemaw is fine in main imo. Re considering alpha strike tho

@minjuuoce @riftdecks how did alpha strike and vilemaw in main feel?

Hey yall, I’m minjuu the best of yi from #sydneyRQ #riftbound Over the weekend I play in my first big TCG event and it was the most fun I’ve had playing a card game. I was running on 4hrs of sleep on day 1 and I couldn’t sleep at all on day 2 😭😭. Here’s my decklist!

@R3vancs Trying out 3 now. I can see the value of it but I thought I’d play into more purple so I went down to 1

@minjuuoce Did you ever wish you had 2-3x vilemaw main?

@bastiyan0520 Guaranteed turn 2 play guarantees consistency

@minjuuoce Que te anima a llevar el yi tempered por encima del honed ?

@PowerMagno1 all my games felt winnable if i piloted better. I don't think many changes will be made unless meta changes drastically

@minjuuoce Congrats for the amazing results!! I read in the comments that you tested Tasty and then moved to Camel, this was true also in match different from Aurora? And also Trinity is gg when you are otp and with arena greatest, but seems more situazional then key, any plan to change it

@Coxy3D I just sack the aspirants climb game and match Vilemaws lair with it. Mulligan everything that’s not a 2 drop, first mate, Triforce, defy or gear hate. Camel also hidden mvp cause they can’t elder it If they draw the nuts then what can you do. But if not it’s very playable

@minjuuoce What was your plan for aurora it felt like an auto loss without triforce for me

@IceSolostice Aurora: sabo,akshan,unyielding Leblanc: back off alphastrike Gear heavy decks: akshan, back off Mirror yi: punch first back off alpha Tall decks: punch first, back off alpha the deck is fine on its own into most matchups just depends how you pilot it

@minjuuoce Mega congrats Josh!!! What were your siding patterns?

@ZIADFFWNH @riftdecks Alpha is really strong. Not many things go over your might but with alpha strike you can always offer a trade at worse. I originally playtested with 3x tasty and no ruin runner but ruin runner can’t get stunned, bounced or removed easily. So I just went with ruin for the meta.

@minjuuoce @riftdecks How did alpha strike feel? Good or would you rather have challenge? Also how did the ruin runners feel? Good or rather have some tasty faefolks and/or more vilemaws?

@Dexelele @PabloSpada13 Depends on MU but usually I do Vilemaws first. That 2 drop first mate combo is really strong

@minjuuoce @PabloSpada13 Why going second? I feel like the interaction with First Mate often wins me games on turn 2. Conquer Star Spring with Poro -> drop First Mate -> pull back Poro and Conquer the other BF (best case hold both BFs with 5 Might on defence) I usually choose Star Springs Game 1

@PabloSpada13 Yehh it is. Star spring was going second bf

@minjuuoce Hi! Is it star spring or startipped peak? I've seen different things depending on the website

Thanks to everyone that signed my playmat. It was great meeting you all. Hope to see you all in the future.

It’s still unreal to me that I got this with 1 week of proper prep for the tournament!!?!
