Finished 8-2-1 and cash bubbled 33/943 so no jumbo lump crab cake dinner for me 🦀

@playriftbound Seems like yes! https://t.co/kz8pZcgSls

[JRAD @JRADggs]

@playriftbound Does this mean the entire Origins set will be legal for the upcoming Korean Major Dec. 5-6?

My #Riftbound Top 9

Thank you to @dunctcg for creating https://t.co/fTrkYBdOGr!

[DUNC TCG @dunctcg]

Saw everyone doing Top 9s for games and films, so I made a website for Riftbound.

Best art/most played/cards you love, whatever you want.

Mind below. Lemme see yours!

Torn with this one, racking up byes is a nice pursuit to have in lieu of radiance regionals and showdowns, though I thought we may want them gone sooner rather than later to restore gravity to round one of main event

Maybe it's fine now that regionals will be larger and 3 days?

[Riftbound Report @RiftboundReport]

‼️ Riftbound Radiance Summoner Skirmish Regional BYE Changes ‼️

Emails have been sent to Local Game Stores from UVS informing them that the decision to no longer reward Summoner Skirmish winners with a Bye at Regional Qualifiers (Regionals) has been REVERTED and that all Radiance Skirmishes (past and future) will reward a Bye to winners.

"This decision has been revised, and Radiance Summoner Skirmish winners will receive a first-round Bye for an eligible 2027 Regional"

@JunTCG Looking forward to going back soon, enjoy your trip!

[JRAD @JRADggs]

@RiftboundReport 1️⃣ Star Spring
2️⃣ Riven, Broken Blade
3️⃣ Nocturne, Horrifying

[JRAD @JRADggs]

@AliEldrazi Type shit. Congrats!

[JRAD @JRADggs]

@snipegambles The last time we were in a similar position, 7 cards got axed. 2-3 is better than 0, we'll see tomorrow

[JRAD @JRADggs]

Ban Predictions:

Star Spring
Stellacorn Herder
Riven, Broken Blade
Brynhir Thundersong
Nocturne, Horrifying

Mainly due to the current stance of KR and global release maintaining the same ban list. Otherwise, I could see Zhonya's and Aurora on the chopping block as well

[Dave Guskin @davetron]

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.

[JRAD @JRADggs]

@you_kn0w_neo Nope, currently same ban list for all regions despite KR only having Origins released

[JRAD @JRADggs]

Enjoying a week of peace before another month of travel

🇬🇧 London Nov 16-22 Rugby + Bayeux Tapestry
🦃 Boston Nov 24-29 Thanksgiving + #NHLBruins
🇰🇷 Korea Dec 2-7 Riftbound Korea Major
🎰 Vegas Dec 10-14 RCNA Convergence Fest

Hoping for some Showdowns in Dec + Jan

[JRAD @JRADggs]

@you_kn0w_neo Difficult to add Zhonya's if global and KR maintain the same ban list. In the absence of Star Crossed, I think LeBlanc and Aurora push out midrange

[JRAD @JRADggs]

Surreal moment last night heading back on the Seoul metro from a #Riftbound tournament while watching the #RCEU broadcast. Just thinking, "how in the world did I get here?"

Grateful for the people and experiences this game has connected me to ❤️

20hr travel back home starts now

[JRAD @JRADggs]

@grentontv Awesome to see you on stage during the finals, thank you for everything you've done for Riftbound in our first year!

[JRAD @JRADggs]

@cudal0703 @Card_Square_TCG @LoLMeetupKorea I'm happy as well, it was nice to see you again!

[JRAD @JRADggs]

Won qualification for the Korean major today, couldn't ask for a better ending to my trip as I fly home tomorrow. Shout out to @Card_Square_TCG Sindang for a well run event and the nice players I met from @LoLMeetupKorea. GGs!

[JRAD @JRADggs]

@dojjang98 Congratulations! Well played
