My first ever Chinese booster and it’s a double rare… double Legend. 😂

Rest of the lunar new year bundle is great though!

[ian | ✈️ RQ Hartford @madcap_ginger]

@HelpfulMiner Haha we had a couple wild judge calls that match! Was a pleasure.

[ian | ✈️ RQ Hartford @madcap_ginger]

We gave away a ton of these Meta Lab Gold tokens at #RQVancouver! Hope they got lots of use and won some games.

Highlight was the opponent who saw me logging my results in my own event tracker and recognized the site. ❤️

We will have more tokens at Hartford and stickers!

@TheNerdySteve Hell yeah. Went to Boston last year for a conference and went to the same Korean fried chicken place by my hotel like... twice in 3 days I was there. :D

When it's good... it's good.

Been working on this for a while. Version history for your deck lists! For both Riftbound and One Piece, of course.

Link to this deck list so you can see the version history live in the comments. They're fake changes lol... but still take a look!

@kieron_marshall This is how I find the former Magic players vs former YGO players during events... (=
The idea that once the chain starts resolving you can't add things to it any more is wild to my Magic brain.

Games are cool and I'm glad we have a lot of variety.

Home from #RQVancouver and was able to get OP16 and ST30 cards added into The Meta Lab!
One Piece players rejoice!

Working on the mulligan trainer's gauntlet mode next...

@itsDuulan @PietartTCG Mental is the hardest part of the game. I have my unfair share of stuff le with it too.

Always happy to chat about this stuff or just listen if you need a vent target.

[ian | ✈️ RQ Hartford @madcap_ginger]

@itsDuulan @PietartTCG Was great to finally meet IRL!

Feel proud of your hard work and performance. 8-0 is so beyond average and shows that you’re doing the right work.

True skill is shown across your career— not in any single event. Performance and growth over the long time scale matters most.

happy pride month yall and just a reminder luffy would NOT support any form of homophobia or transphobia 👍

[Riftbound @playriftbound]

Hey Riftbounders!!! 🌈 Pride Month is here, and we're excited to celebrate with everyone at @riotgames and the amazing LGBTQIA+ community that helps make Riftbound what it is.

To celebrate, we teamed up with @cherriielle to bring this stunning piece to life. 🌞🌙 The Sun and Moon have never looked so radiant!

[ian | ✈️ RQ Hartford @madcap_ginger]

@Futilic Thanks! It’s really 5-0 handshake. Last round of that event you’re only playing for the free guaranteed badge for a future RQ and my opponent didn’t have plans to play any more of them this year. Lucky for me he was kind :)

[ian | ✈️ RQ Hartford @madcap_ginger]

Sett is mine. Leona share with teammates.
6-0 today on LeBlanc in the Rebound so also have a guaranteed competitor badge for LA!

[ian | ✈️ RQ Hartford @madcap_ginger]

@rjtriedtotweet Yep. Aggro/Tempo version just does not hold up in meta.

[ian | ✈️ RQ Hartford @madcap_ginger]

@AliEldrazi Try not to drop the cards though. If they fall off the table it can get awkward.

[ian | ✈️ RQ Hartford @madcap_ginger]

Team snagged a Plated Leona yesterday almost accidentally. Have to photoshop Kyle into the pic where the Leona is :P

Back for more Riftbound today then flying home tonight!

@itsDuulan @ChironTheMage You got this!

[ian | ✈️ RQ Hartford @madcap_ginger]

@Venrae45 Eventually… I’ll say give it a shot because once the page is cached locally all storage of input data is local. But lookups might not work well.

But yeah overall I am heading toward an app for the event tracking at minimum. Possibly for more of the whole suite.

[ian | ✈️ RQ Hartford @madcap_ginger]

Event tracker helps guide on top cut likelihood while entering rounds.
Not perfect obv- people drawing has a huge impact on standings that’s hard to account for.

My goal is top 64 so I set cut size 64. Should help me stay focused today and tomorrow!

Still beta so LMK if bugs.
