Ritualo

I hit #1 in San Diego tonight!! 🎉🎉🎉 I know this site and your ELO isnt official or anything but still feels so good to see your hard work pay off Juggling playing, playtesting, working full time and now content creation; this season has been such a blessing for me Thank you to everyone in San Diego and all my friends online for pushing me and helping me grow as a player and a person It's the memories we make along the way ♥️

So I tried something new, people were asking for a video like this so im proud to announce my Riftbound Tournament Etiquette LINK BELOW

@Mrtoolshed_ Absolutely! Sending you a DM right now

@ritualo_ A nice website called nexlog.gg/login If you have any interest in using it let me know and I can get you access

Ending the week of Irelia testing at 19-3 Losses were to Mel, Reksai and Zed. Didnt have Zed available to put in lol. Overall deck has been very imrpessive. Def felt a weak game 1 against Aurora to end the week, but able to get both post board games in a sweat fest.

With Vendetta's full set now out and the banlist announced, this is going to be a busy weekend in the lab Can't wait to post all the updates and cooks 🥼🔬

@NewrofTCG @FortiniNorberto Kayle is soooo soooo good in Ambessa

Here we go! Never felt yellow-orange this insanely strong before… this deck is a beast. Let’s go wreck everyone ⛓️⛓️‍💥 Ft @FortiniNorberto #RBVendetta

@FerociousFaroos Absolutely! I'll be posting a video soon that goes a little more in depth. Was just waiting on the banlist and the rest of reveals to finish before putting it out And I agree @SummonersWkly are great!

@ritualo_ Funny skits and b roll of events I would love to see more deck building, been following you for your zed builds would love to learn your thought process behind it for my development as a player sum… weekly they are funny &relatable

Honest questions to the Riftbound community: What has been your favorite type of content to consume for Riftbound? What do you want to see more of? Which creator has been your favorite so far and why?

@kidkotalol Thank you for the kind words fam. Yeah feel free to hit me up on discord any time

@ritualo_ loved chatting with you on disc, hope to see you succeed!

Celebrate your wins! My channel hit 50 subs today Story time: I started this channel two weeks ago as an outlet to help educate and grow the next community of card game players I've been playing card games since 2009 and I've found success in multiple different TCGs as well as a different YouTube channel I thought I was done with content creation but Riftbound captured that magic for me again and so I want to do my part and help grow this community I pride myself on being a strong deck builder and I want to teach newer players how to become confident in their deck building skills I've had times were I bubbled and tasted defeat but also times where I have sun ran and gone undefeated at a regionals level and above. I want to help the average player take that next step to become competitive and to beat the pressures of the bubble There's so much I want to teach and I hope you all can learn something and apply it to your trading card game career Cheers to my Riftbound community. It's only the beginning 🥂

@DominickVitelli Yeah for sure that's totally viable. I just didn't want the deck to feel like Ezreal 2.0 but I also built the deck under the assumption more cards would be banned so the overall list will change over the next week

@ritualo_ I like the list but I'm thinking about building more similar to Ezreal (with tomes). I think you can use the leader to set up banishing key pieces.

For my Mel and Blurple enjoyers, here's my build that's been testing surprisingly well Notes: - Rebuttal just might be the best card in Riftbound - Questionable Tome is the most consistent way to empower Mel Leader - Applied Researchers can trigger Time Warp early - Fountain OP

@Nelo_TV I haven't revisited Yi yet with the new banlist but on paper that sounds correct

@ritualo_ Following the new banlist, I was thinking to switch Arena's Greatest with Abandoned Hall in the Yi list you posted, because of Irelia. Could be fun 🤪 Like, blind : Abandoned Hall, 1st : Emperor's Dias, 2nd : Seat of Power

Arena's Greatest: Thank you for your service, you will be missed 🫡 Aspirant's Climb: Good riddance, you will not be missed 😂

@Mavnis Welcome to Riftbound! Feel free to add me on discord if you have any questions or want to chat about the game Regarding Zed and his playstyle; he's very tempo based and excels as a mid range type deck. Think Red in magic mixed with a little Black in a way

@ritualo_ I’m just starting to try and get into the game. I don’t really know much about it yet. But for some reason Zed is the Champ I’m drawn to. Not sure what other card games you are into but what would you comepare it to as an archetype? I’ve played MTG/FAB/LOR etc etc.

Let's talk about ZED! This post will detail all my thoughts and impressions on testing Zed with the current card pool and ban list in consideration This is the final build leading to the Day of Reckoning tomorrow. Just wanted to share my thoughts before things change 1/x

@RevanRiftbound You can play whatever is proper for you 🫡 I have builds built for both midrange and miracle and I personally prefer this version more. To each their own

@ritualo_ What about playing zed the proper way as a miracle deck with rams and rasas

@samdsherman @Foxhound_Delta Appreciate what you do for the community Sam!

@Foxhound_Delta @ritualo_ Thank you!

A 10 sideboard is a GODSEND for deckbuilding. Transformation sides can become totally viable now THANK YOU 🙏

@Turtlaa @alexhughsam Absolutely! Has been testing very well so far

@ritualo_ @alexhughsam that's huge for akali if it works like that but i think this card will be insane either way; allowing you to immediately ready a kaisa or irelia or green akali is absolutely game changing imo

This just might be what Akali needed...... Welp back to the lab ✍️

@Turtlaa @alexhughsam Attack triggers happen after movement triggers, so yes I believe you can ready her

@alexhughsam @ritualo_ lets say i attack with this unit and akali, can i ready akali immediately on the bf?

@Orianpax101 For testing purposes I like using 3 ofs to get a feel of how the deck plays and what fits. In future iterations I can def see 1 switcheroo being played when the numbers get tweaked and more refined

@ritualo_ Curious as to why switcheroo isnt included in the list?

@achoexodia Absolutely! I love it when people ask questions cause chances are other people are wondering as well I 100% encourage open discussions regarding game theory

@ritualo_ no for sure ikwym even if they just build the threat that you can trample their 2drop if they move eventually but ye mostly cuz of consistency for the assassin however you only need 1 in trash so i can get behind not playing disciple was just curious on your thought process
