Chronic TCG degen from down under
Riftbound | FAB | MTG

[MERC Itzweird @itzsamleee]

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

Still feels completely sureal but managed to take down Showdown Melbourne playing Diana! Pivoted to the deck last minute with only a weeks worth of practice with the full intention of just trying to metal hunt 😂. Will do a proper write up soon so stay tune!

[Soul @Soul_rft]

@mimiikkyyu Getting done dirty by the camera angle what the helly LOL. Ggs tho!

[Soul @Soul_rft]

@YohannesMu563 @BosseidonRed I will go into detail in the guide/video when they come out but tldr; aggresively use gust and moonfall early to hinder their development. Delay them moving onto bf for as long as reasonable. Take an off turn to develop hwei, then push in for the win!

[Soul @Soul_rft]

@HyDr0KT Absolutely!

[Soul @Soul_rft]

@Cezar5_ My worst nightmare 😂 one of my main considerations was that the deck wouldn't be present at showdown due to no best of. I think the deck can be tuned to be okay against it but if you're expecting to face it alot there are simply other decks to play than Diana.

[Soul @Soul_rft]

@BanditKeithLoR Yup Falling star is very evil. One of my main reasons for confidently playing Diana into showdown meta was because most Falling Star decks are ineligble for best of. My main advice would just be to lean heavily on vex and matriach in those matchups.

[Soul @Soul_rft]

@Altricad I think flash in diana is poorly positioned in the meta overall, there is a greater need to break holds right now rather than going in and out of battlefields

[Soul @Soul_rft]

@MtgAbysse Yup! Frantically typing up the metafy as we speak! 😂. Hopefully will be ready in the next few days. Plan is to put out a free deck profile along with it that has my general thoughts and strategies. In depth analysis and whatnot will be behind a small paywall.

[Soul @Soul_rft]

@Altricad Yeah T3 onwards, I think of the card as a removal spell of sorts so Im typically waiting for a window where either the sprite can walk over something, or i can get a conquer trigger. Its also quite good for securing even point tempo depending on the position

[Soul @Soul_rft]

@niaz04040027 Fountain helps fill a gap in the deck in that it is quite vulnerable to base kill and lacks accelerate. It gets boarded out fairly often going 1st due to how awkward it can be with your rune curve. Going 2nd I tend to keep it into most matchups as a catchup tool

[Soul @Soul_rft]

@MarkShep86 Matriarch is for grindy matchups mostly. Up from the deep was pretty mediocre, mostly just for insulting against cull

[Soul @Soul_rft]

@BosseidonRed One of the reasons to play the deck haha, excellent access to boardbreakers combined with base access
