@xTacio_ thanks for the guide! As far as I can tell, you're currently boarding in the Rebuke in no matchups. Would you still play it? If so, where do you want it?

USB not C ports are a funny reminder of how fast technology is moving these days

Lorwyn Eclipsed was my favorite Magic set in a long time. The flavor and art were so refreshing and nostalgic, and there were so many interesting cards for constructed at the perfect power level. Happy to get back to reality with the Ninja Turtles spoilers.

10-5-1 to requalify. 8-2 constructed, 2-3-1 limited. Punted both constructed losses, feels like a missed opportunity but I'm happy to win the last one.

1-2 to 6-4-1. I liked my deck, though it needed more removal and my draws didn't line up. Maybe I just don't understand the format tho. Back to constructed.

72.6% constructed win rate and 100% conversion rate to day 2. Limited didn't go as well but not bad. #theboulder #PTECL

@Drisoth I think holding battlefields is mostly a losing proposition against Cleave anyways so the sizing of creatures only matters in the very first few turns. And if you have Ray or Reaver's Row, the 1/1 scores as well as any other 2-drop.

@nalkpas I'd still ask the other reply's question, but I definitely agree with this statement. Felt a vanilla 2 for 2 would be good+ in riftbound, but skipping on the other 2 drop options for sentry is mostly what gave me a bad feeling about it.

I feel like cards in magic are vastly better than cards in most other CCGs. Since we keep piggybacking off mtg think pieces from the 2000s (when cards were even better in magic), we keep overvaluing cards in other games. Anyways, watchful sentry feels god-awful.

@Drisoth the card isn't thaaat valuable, but cheap creatures are strong and there aren't many with real text

@Drisoth I kinda think it's the best card in the game, at least in the base set

I didn't fully appreciate how far power creep has come until I watched @marceliiiiiine 3-0 @dominharvia with 2025 standard UB midrange vs. 2015 Summer Bloom Titan (the games were not close)

@MatthewLNass adding a bank of even 1 invite would smooth things over a lot, plus it would give people on the train a real reason to play RCs

Weird quirk of the current pro system: I finished 5th in poy, but could fall off the pro tour if I don’t day 2 the next pt.

What an absolutely crazy weekend. Walked into the Houston Regional with no expectations other than having some fun with my friends and teammates playing this incredible new game and I took it all down. Couldn’t be happier and can’t wait to play more in Orlando! @playriftbound
