want to find out what’s going on with your most favorite comics? haven’t had the time to get caught up? we got you covered we cover everything from indie to DC.
This is supposedly Aurora at its most powerful and this is Jayce’s win rate at the event.
It’s also one of the easiest decks in the game to target. If you really want to beat it, just play chaos. #RQLA
What an unbelievable weekend.
When Akali got teased way back in set 2, my partner @ayukuraaa jokingly told me that I'd have to win the Best Of for her when she comes out.
We joked about it over the months leading up to Vendetta, but one night she said "You know... it really would mean so much to me if you won the Best Of Akali. You don't even have to actually win it, but I want to see you try your hardest to". I decided at that moment I would win it no matter what.
Once Akali's whole package was teased, I was in the lab for hours every day. The early renditions were pretty horrible ngl but I was motivated as hell to solve the deck.
Ayu constantly encouraged me to keep testing and practicing more Riftbound over spending quality time together, which was genuinely painful at times, but it ultimately made the difference.
I felt confident going into the RQ (as evident by my numerous tweets) but I never thought it would take me this far. I had a 70%+ win rate in my internal testing but there was always that little voice in my head that casted doubt on the deck I built and my own skill.
Plenty of people told me my deck was clunky, un-optimal, and played too many weird/bad cards. However, I knew it was working for me, so I stuck with my gut (and I'm so glad I did).
Fast forward to when I was setting up for my top 8 match on stage, Ayu came by to wave to me, and I had to quickly message her to leave because I was tearing up and getting emotionally overwhelmed by simply looking at her. Being reminded of her sacrifice and support and seeing it pay off in real time was just too much for me to handle.
Anyways, I'm super happy I was able to lock in for the last few matches and take it home. My goal for this event (besides the Best Of) was top 8, but winning it all was a nice cherry on top of course x)
I wanted to give a special shout out to:
@GhaelWindss and my locals for cooking me every skirmish
@Linsanitylol, @KitzuoLoL, @OnlyRengar for testing with me everyday and helping me hone my list
and of course Ayu for supporting me every step of the way ❤️
@RicochetTCG I get where you are coming from. Even though most players dont even see a judge unless they call for one having a highlight match with 2 judges shouldnt have many if any infractions unchecked. I dont hate the idea od a small team for featured matches or top cut.
@RicochetTCG Ive not heard any specific policy. Not that judges arent checking, we definitely do. After watching games for 20 hours sometimes tou miss some. It is up to both players to maintain a correct board state.
@aadeshmalla First round I didnt pull any draw. No hidden blades. No shadows. No full the weaks. No imperial. No bellows. Honestly its the worst hands I've ever gotten. Lol both games were very rough against yas.
Ok in celebration of #Riftbound State of the Game week I am giving away a Crystal Rose Ahri :)
