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

I picked up my Rune deck instead of my hand by accident, saw my rune order and told a judge. I explained that the bottom two should be green from a Charm and Blitzcrank and the rest are random and then the judge asked why there were only 5 when he was fixing the issue. That’s when we realized I had dropped one 😔

[GG Dhawally @Dhawally_GG]

Just finished my first event representing @CubeGolem_GG and @DragonShield_ at #RCStuttgart, thank you for believing in me as a player and competitor. We have a ton in store for 2027 so you will be hearing from us soon!

Unreal weekend from start to finish. Almost missed the start of day 2 because I thought it started at 10am. Only won 2 die rolls so I get to at least complain a bit here right? Got a game loss in my last round in game 3 in an “unloseable” position to drop 30 spots in the standings because a rune fell on the ground in game 3 😭

I missed getting my Worlds invite but I achieved my secondary goal of getting a top 58 metal legend, excited to see what I’ll get in the draft. Congrats to my teammate @GG_Chuchex for his strong finish as well.

Shoutout to the #BaldBootcamp for getting me prepped for this meta. Really hoping the meta for the next RC in Vegas will be a bit less high rolly, I love how deep Riftbound can be at the highest level when the game is in a balanced state.

Also credit to @toxickbunny for being the best event photographer a player could ask for. Thank you so much for your time and effort 🙏🏽

At pro rel it’s a game loss for deck presentation error even though it dropped during the game since I technically couldn’t prove I presented 12 runes. It was a green one so it was a huge downside for me not to have it in deck on hunters circle going first. They’re working on changing this moving forward though, the judges who handled the call did the best they could with the tools they were given.

@SonRebell lmao thanks, thought I couldn’t win that match but somehow vex carried

[GG Dhawally @Dhawally_GG]

@Evansrhim1 Still need to catch up on coverage but I did catch your game 3 vs Kaisa in the quarters. I thought you were dead multiple times but you found the exact sequence to get there in the end. Super well played and much deserved win!

Thanks for the kind words @CasanovaCasts 🙏🏽 Feeling confident after the #BaldBootcamp, super excited for #RCStuttgart. Although the meta isn’t in the best spot rn, as someone who enjoys narrow meta games and trying to find an edge in mirrors I’m enjoying the process!

[Casanova @CasanovaCasts]

We have reached the Top 5!

At #5 I have @ShawnDTCG

Shawn was our very first RQ Champion. After only picking up the game two weeks prior to the event and getting brought up to speed by his friends and teammates from FaB he piloted Annie, in what was expected to be a Tier 0 Kai’sa metagame, to the first ever trophy lift.

This was not an out of character or surprising event for Shawn. In his previous competitive experience there are plenty of examples of him picking up a deck last minute with very little practice and finding success. I frequently would see him wandering around the hotel lobby spamming MTG Drafts on his phone while we’d be prepping for a FaB Pro Tour the next day and he’d still cash.

After his historic victory Shawn committed to Riftbound full time and has made an extremely impressive resume for himself. With 3 top 8s and 6 of his 11 events finishing in the top 16 he is one of the most consistent players in all of Riftbound.

He is a natural when it comes to card games and while he does not have many credits as a deck builder he is one of the best pilots I’ve seen in any TCG, and that is exactly the type of player that can thrive in this metagame. With two decks at the forefront Shawn will be able to put full focus on the part of the game he already has an edge.

His last two RQs have been his worst results of the entire year, and after the controversy in Singapore and taking some time to reflect between events I expect to see a refocused, confident, and driven Dhawally back on one of the best decks and ready to spike the event.

was reminded about this vid by @TalionHS at the #BaldBootcamp and it’s so well done. def gonna stream again after I’m back from the RC in Stuttgart 😂

[Melanie Bracewell @meladoodle]

Yesterday @ShawnDTCG opened a T1 box on stream and it was one of the most chaotic things I’ve ever seen. I distilled it down to my personal highlights. https://t.co/atJo3y4sb7

[GG Dhawally @Dhawally_GG]

Better than any announcement I could’ve hoped for although the timing isn’t great. Love this direction for RC level events, I was struggling to choose where to land on the spectrum of best-of gaming and trying to place well. Just want to show up, try my best to win and see how things shake out.
