Won a skirmish with aggro Irelia this weekend. Just a few changes to the initial list.

[Nic Barnes @NicBarnes1993]

New set reveals have been underwhelming for me ngl, but my wishlist for the banlist to spice things up are Ekko, Star-crossed, Aurora, Ruin Runner, Arena's Greatest, and Aspirants Climb. I'm not mad if only Ekko goes though.

Will upload deck profile and guide soon!

@snaxstcg What's crazy is his hand was so good he didn't even need the discipline. Anybody who will cheat when they don't even need to especially when on stream should be gone for good.

@CTCGVillionaire I always liked the saying, "someone will always have a negative opinion of what you're doing. If you listen, you will live a life just as average as theirs"

Here is my top 8 Sydney RQ decklist (sadly not best of, but that's expected with Irelia) - recommend me more 1ofs to put in please xD
Actual thoughts: Mindsplitter and Deckhand were sided out for everything but Aurora, maybe Pyke and Gust can fill those spots in the main board.

[Nic Barnes @NicBarnes1993]

Huge W @playriftbound. Love to see how they respond to player feedback.

If you told me a couple years ago there would be someone in the UFC I would dislike more than Colby I wouldn't of believed you. Well introducing Josh Hokit. 😂

[CobiMMA @TheRealCobiMMA]

Josh hokit just posted this on Instagram 😭😭😂

@DurantulaTCG I would get 3 boots and 1 edge of night or even 3 Zhonya 1 edge of night, but 2 of each and 1 edge of night!!?? 😂

[Nic Barnes @NicBarnes1993]

@Tusk_4Real True, but I don't think it's always parents. I try to push my son to go out and have fun with his friends more, but kids nowadays would rather just be in a discord call together in their rooms. Modern technology has replaced going out and adventuring.

This whole aurora skill or not debate is useless and besides the issue

Playing vs Aurora feels like a complete waste of time and that’s the problem

You miss turn 1 => you lose
They miss aurora => they lose
They see aurora t3 => you lose
They see gust + aurora and ramp => you lose
You remove aurora from their hand => they lose
You destroy aurora on the spot => they lose

In All of these scenarios the games are boring af and a complete waste of time, neither player has a chance to display any skill

You only play a real game when they get to aurora a bit later and need to be crafty and smart, that’s the « difference in skill » between aurora players

The truth is, that skill diff exists, but the issue is that we went from games being winnable vs t4 aurora to almost unwinnable if you don’t draw your immediate out

Aurora is too strong right now so this problem is very apparent, but it’s just a design issue and the card should be banned imo because of how unfun it is to play against and how it limits design and deckbuilding for orange

Ps dont come at me with skilled aurora players win without it its complete cope only aurora yi could do that into spell decks because of deadbloom+zhonya set 1
