Riftbound memes and bad lines at NY locals. @mercgg

I’m very excited for the competitive ladder, but I think it’s really important to remind competitive players:

The best way to protect the time and money you’ve invested in this game is to be kind to new players.

I’ve been noticing a lot of TCG refugees at my nexus nights. Players that have realized Riftbound isn’t just a passing fad. It’s important that their first impression of Riftbound’s player base doesn’t remind them of the same shitty behavior they’re trying to run away from.

This is my set of resolutions for the next year of OPL

@keenan_rb Where’s the triforce??

@sormiltcg @NYCMayor Mamdani’s failure to address the scalper market and commit to a world finals appearance is heartbreaking for long time supporters :(

[MERC Itzweird @itzsamleee]

Hey @NYCMayor there’s a really big pothole at Barclays for world finals this Saturday. I think it might need your personal attention. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I made a FREE riven guide for the deck that my team achieved a 78% win rate with at the latest RC, including 2 top 8s and 2 top 58s!! Learn how to play the best deck in the format before it gets banned come Nov 23 :P Link below: ⬇️

Will be out of town this weekend, but I hope everyone visiting Mamdanistan has a great time!

This meta makes me feel like I’m stuck between a cock and a hard place or whatever the saying is

Please disregard the album of twitter thirst traps on my phone, it’s actually just screenshots of my favorite Riftbound players being horny on the tl.

[MERC Itzweird @itzsamleee]

@aadeshmalla @keenan_rb He’s the one doing the thirst trapping

Gf finally blew her cover (asked how my nexus night went) and revealed she’s a ccp spy (she’s from Hong Kong) trying to steal my ornn list (I got 5th).

@numiii Soup season!!! Flushing has amazing eats and if you can go a bit further into queens, Broadway/murray hill is basically a better ktwon food wise at least.

[MERC Itzweird @itzsamleee]

It absolutely is not fine in riven lmao. Being able to score every turn without committing units to the bf breaks the game. Combine that with being able to proc move triggers like Stellacorn twice while preserving it in base is what makes riven broken. Riftbound should be a give and take. There is no take with that play pattern and pushes non combat decks/base-removal decks like kaisa.

[MERC Itzweird @itzsamleee]

Would adding this one line save star spring?

This card is a dopamine factory and has produced some of my favorite riftbound moments. I don’t want to see her go 😢

[MERC Itzweird @itzsamleee]

IMO the faefolk is strong combo that is unfun to play vs but if rengar kha have to always ambush a unit to keep it safe, there will be counter play. But if I play faefolk, opponent passes (which is the correct play) I shouldn’t be able to conquer/score and then play a unit to retreat it and continue the toxic cycle.

[MERC Itzweird @itzsamleee]

@josevf2992 Play tideturner swapping with jhin to get an energy/power, triggered starspring on my kaisa to dodge wages, played gust with the free energy. Cinema. And then riven chuds came and ruined it for everybody.

[MERC Itzweird @itzsamleee]

@AmeTCG kha rengar would still use ofc but would be weaker than its current power level due to lack of ganking threat. Would require an extra card on top of the ambush unit as opposed to just a 2 drop threatening ganking.

[MERC Itzweird @itzsamleee]

@not_anonyymous Still a nerf to rengar, but completely gets rid of the riven play pattern of dodging combats.

[TSS NoVeggies @NoVeggie5]

@Krashy I mean die mad idk

[MERC Itzweird @itzsamleee]

@RyanFreeburger All the streams featured a separate game so you could flip through

[MERC Itzweird @itzsamleee]

Shoutout darkchri99 for flipping Templar’s Aurora back right side up. Wouldn’t want to be caught cheating by the judges!!
