With the Utrecht Regional around the corner, Starkoss will be in attendance repping both Stacked Deck and Australia. We'll be following his journey closely over the weekend with updates to come. We wish him the best of luck in the main event.

Diana or Leblanc next 👀

[Team Stacked Deck @teamstackeddeck]

We are thrilled to welcome our newest roster addition for the 2026 season: Starkoss!

He is coming off a massive 11th place finish at the Sydney Regional Qualifier, where he solidified his title as the best Rengar around. Hot off that incredible Sydney performance, Starkoss will be representing the team at RQ Utrecht. Between his elite talent and his strong work ethic, he is a perfect fit for Stacked Deck.

Head over to our new site to see the full article and you can check out his Sydney deck list.

Please join us in giving him a massive welcome!

Congratulations to the Vancouver Regional Qualifier winner @AlanzqTFT! What an insane, well fought comeback series.

We hope to see both finalists again at RQ Utrecht, where Stacked Deck will also be in attendance with our newest roster inclusion, our own Rengar pro. Watch this space for an announcement tonight.

The riftbound stream [really really really] needs a way to show the hands of the players. Part of watching card-game (even poker) streams is the immersion from being able to see what the person is holding and then compare it against what you'd do as a viewer. Suggestion below

Hey guys, can’t believe it I’m actually doing this,

Here is my first metafy guide, and how me and my mate made the best azir deck and top 32 at Sydney,

Code for a discount is YCBR123 for everyone that reads my dumbass posts

Farrrrk feels a bit shite to have such obvious hiccups for my last cast of the event but happy overall with my work at RQ Sydney.

Love Riftbound, only want to do more with each event that goes by.

My goal is to be the game's go to play by play 🫡

Thanks for watching ♥️

[Team Stacked Deck @teamstackeddeck]

For those who know Ross personally, you would have witnessed his crashouts on Thursday testing with the team and Friday Pre-RQ after coming across two Aurora players - this spurred him to sleeve Azir 2 hours before Mainevent deck submission deadline for Saturday, not a bad result all things considered 😂

@LynisAllegra 2nd best Poppy Sydney
@SD_LovelySnOw 2nd best Azir Sydney

7 Metal cards acquired by the team

Thanks for all the support from everyone especially those from our local scene in Adelaide

We will definitely be attending #RQSingapore and potentially events prior!

#RQSydney #riftbound

[SD | LovelySnOw @SD_LovelySnOw]

#RQSydney done and dusted with @teamstackeddeck @LynisAllegra

Ended the event 9-2-2 and agreed to split Best of Azir with Yellow Castor

Gonna take a break for awhile, see how Set 3 develops and likely go hard for Set 4

@LynisAllegra 2nd best Poppy just missed out.

List below

[SD | LynisAllegra @LynisAllegra]

Only 2nd best Poppy at #RQSydney
Ended 32nd after swiss for some prize money.
Played pretty well, but a bad match up and a few bricked hands cost me the last % for the Metal Chase. Had a great time over the weekend with @SD_LovelySnOw @teamstackeddeck
Poppy is underrated 😇

[Team Stacked Deck @teamstackeddeck]

@Riftboundop SYDNEY RQ DAY 1 🔥

@LynisAllegra (Fifi) on Poppy and @SD_LovelySnOw on Azir both finish Day 1 at 7-1!

Both players also featured on streamed matches, representing Team Stacked Deck on the big stage 💙

Massive effort in an insanely competitive field. Onto Day 2 ⚔️

UNL seeding is flawed I think?

I have not completed playsets of Rares despite having multiple 6 times or more, which didn't happen in OGN/SFD and that really sucks that I have to pay for shipping now to get the missing ones

Some cases seem to have 0 ON, some had 3 ON. I at least had one (Jhin)

In addition: Legends and Battlefields are waaaaaay to common

Lots of feel bad packs sadly

[Randyyy @RandyyyTCG]

This whole aurora skill or not debate is useless and besides the issue

Playing vs Aurora feels like a complete waste of time and that’s the problem

You miss turn 1 => you lose
They miss aurora => they lose
They see aurora t3 => you lose
They see gust + aurora and ramp => you lose
You remove aurora from their hand => they lose
You destroy aurora on the spot => they lose

In All of these scenarios the games are boring af and a complete waste of time, neither player has a chance to display any skill

You only play a real game when they get to aurora a bit later and need to be crafty and smart, that’s the « difference in skill » between aurora players

The truth is, that skill diff exists, but the issue is that we went from games being winnable vs t4 aurora to almost unwinnable if you don’t draw your immediate out

Aurora is too strong right now so this problem is very apparent, but it’s just a design issue and the card should be banned imo because of how unfun it is to play against and how it limits design and deckbuilding for orange

Ps dont come at me with skilled aurora players win without it its complete cope only aurora yi could do that into spell decks because of deadbloom+zhonya set 1

[Team Stacked Deck @teamstackeddeck]

Not quite the finish we were after, but a run we’re still proud of. Atlanta Regionals ended with Ross (SD LovelySnOw) finishing 9-4 in the main event after a tough second day.

Day 2 results:
Round 9: 2-1 ::: Irelia (@PhilCheeze)
Round 10: 1-2 ::: Draven
Round 11: 0-2 ::: Master Yi
Round 12: 2-1 ::: Draven
Round 13: 1-2 ::: Lucian

Fifi (SD LynisAllegra) was on side-event duty this weekend due to being unable to secure a main event ticket and along with Ross’s metal Kaisa was also able to grab a Metal Leona card!

Huge thanks to everyone supporting Team Stacked Deck, especially those repping from Adelaide and everyone following along. Next stop: Sydney Regionals

#RQAtlanta #RQSydney

[SD | LovelySnOw @SD_LovelySnOw]

#RQAtlanta Deck list btw

Friday Side Event:: 6-0
Day 1:: 7-1
Day 2:: 9-4

Day 2 one loss to a Draven top deck at 7-7 game 3 (sabo him on my turn i know I've won sadge) and threw away a 100% won game 3 in mirror due to being tired and dumb to miss out on 10-3

#RQSydney next 😁

[Team Stacked Deck @teamstackeddeck]

Ross @SD_LovelySnOw and Fifi @LynisAllegra in #RQAtlanta - and the momentum from NZ is still rolling.

Day 1 Atlanta Regional: 7-1

Round 1: Bye
Round 2: 2-0 Kai’Sa
Round 3: 2-0 Kai’Sa
Round 4: 2-0 Draven
Round 5: 2-0 Annie
Round 6: 2-0 Jinx
Round 7: 0-2 Lucian Mirror (vs @samdsherman)
Round 8: 2-0 Draven

A massive Day 1 performance by Ross piloting Lucian - dominant across the field with clean sweeps and full control. One tough mirror loss, but the overall level has been elite.

Pre-Regional Day: 6-0
Kai’Sa Metal Card secured

Round 1: 2-0 Irelia
Round 2: 2-1 Draven
Round 3: 2-0 Irelia
Round 4: 2-1 Master Yi
Round 5: 2-0 Irelia
Round 6: 2-0 (deal split tickets)

From NZ to Atlanta, the consistency is real. Backed by Fifi and the whole team, Ross is putting together one of the strongest runs we’ve seen.

Day 2 tomorrow. The job’s not finished. @riftboundop #riftbound
