@SaffronOlive Wild to take the position that sets are built 4 years in advance so we should understand and then immediately imply that they’ll learn from their mistakes and next year will be better.
This “store” is allegedly pretty close to me, but I can’t find any proof of it existing and their events always immediately fill up. Is there any way to report potential fraud?@grentontv@davetron@playriftbound@riftboundop
Friday’s ban list will be:
Zhonya’s
4cost Riven
Rhasa (or RTW)
Starspring
Hillock
Garbage Grabber
If they decide to hit Kai’sa then Temporal Breach but I don’t think that’s necessary.
@oldemodave I genuinely hope you’re right. Magic will always have a place in my heart but they’ve made it pretty clear they don’t care about the competitive community anymore.
Needing a full business week to figure this out seems excessive. They already fixed Kennen with Stacked Deck ban so really just need to hit Riven at this point.
Hey all - I know many of you are patiently waiting for news re: bans. We are discussing and should have an announcement this Friday. Any bans will not go into effect prior to this weekend, but the specific effective date is also part of the discussion.
@SaiyerTCG@grentontv@davetron@playriftbound@riftboundop Yeah, kinda hard for an e-commerce business to run a physical TCG tournament. I’m playing in a skirmish later today at a noodle shop, but at least they have a brick and mortar location 😂
Also it looks like ever player signed up has only ever played other players that have signed up, and only ever played at this location. I know it’s only 8 people (how do we cap skirms at 8?) but still…
I was worried about not getting to watch as much of the RC based on the time and extra day. Honestly, THANK GOD I didn’t subject myself to all of that. I’ve never been this disinterested in a Riftbound Major.
@BradykinRB People calling for errata are silly. This presents a whole slew of problems with casual players who don’t get the memo. I’m not sure I’d be on board for an immediate ban of the legend but I think if this first round of bans doesn’t produce the desired outcome then it is fine.
This is not a unique experience to have with that specific jayce player, he is well known in the melbourne/OCE scene for slow playing. It is so bad people drop from skirmishes after seeing them sign up to the registrations 👍
