@blaedsounds @housesarebig No matter how bad the pic is, it’s still going to be good because there’s a best-of in it :P

@zapatistazaddy @LSXYZ9 You have 1 card in hand, they have no choice but to discard it.

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@R3vancs @NewrofTCG @barczeek You haven’t lived until you awaken with a Ruin Runner on Star Spring and play Whiteflame there to hit the other battlefield with 13 might

@CTCG_DZiden When did we start discussing EV? Of course that will be higher for an individual over a group. We’re discussing availability of the most wanted metals. My point is that account locking the tickets won’t hurt groups, just individuals.

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@NewrofTCG Not having the archetype breakdowns sucks though. With 3 valid Yi archetypes, we don’t have data showing how each archetype performs.

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@Kapi_Blas Yeah that makes a lot of sense, thanks for responding. :) Strongly considering playing this in Vancouver so every bit helps. I'm thinking of playing a 3rd Stalwart instead of the 3rd Clockwork Keeper. Approve?

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@dunctcg Just that and win rate matrixes, but I think someone already put one of those out. I think for 2 day events a combined matrix as well as a daily matrix would be interesting but the Day 2 matrix will suffer from sample size issues. Thanks for your work though, really nice! :)

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@dunctcg Super thanks! :D

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@Kapi_Blas Against Leblanc if you know their going first battlefield is Windswept would you rather go Seat game 1 and then Grove going second?

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@Mrtoolshed_ I agree with all this but I also disagree that some decks are braindead. If they were, then most players would have the same win rate with the deck and that never happens, better players always outperform weaker players assuming same deck choice.

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@Mrtoolshed_ I'm not understanding what the Back Offs are there for, can you explain please?

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@DizzeeRiftbound @TCG_Triad @riftboundop @playriftbound You guys moving around or are you in one spot?

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@MreMOEtional @LSXYZ9 Making top 64 has some value attached to it as well, we just don’t know what yet.

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@MreMOEtional Day 1 9 rounds, Day 2 6 rounds, let’s go

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@Zrob0 @AikadoLoR 30k not good enough for you?

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@MreMOEtional @maxgotthetracks My first guess was Baxcalibur but judging from the picture it might be Aurorus?

[Matthew Yakobina @SWUYako]

@Mish_NQ @RiftboundReport The teams farming the events will spread who wins so they don’t get capped even if its tied to accounts. Since it’s 1 metal card per person at the events they just make sure no one winds up woth more than 40 tickets
