To add some context to the Stacked Deck ban: We feel that Stacked Deck was deceptively contributing to many of the frustrating patterns that currently exist with Chaos decks (which are also, in the aggregate, stronger than we’d like). (1/x)

There are a lot of things that are OK if they happen from time to time, but because of Stacked Deck, they happen all the time, and it increases the frustration and the feeling of “they have every answer” because they always find whatever they need at the right time with S.D. (2/x

So even though it's an "unassuming" card, we felt like that was where a lot of the power was coming from. it's also likely to become a worse and worse problem, and the ban impacts Kennen significantly (given its current reliance on Nocturne/Rhasa) without flat out killing it.

So excited to see info for Legacy get out there! It is my first set lead for Riftbound and a ton of work went into all the things talked about in this article that the team is really proud of!
There’s still plenty of Riftbound to look forward to this year, with more bundle releases coming later this year! Which one are you most excited for? Learn more about upcoming releases: riot.com/453VUOu

Very cool that the MTG HoF is back! Javier is a lock, Ken Yukuhiro is very likely getting in, past that we'll have to look more closely at the results - there are tons of people with strong resumes due to the backlog and only four votes, so it'll take some scrutiny

Riftbound players - obviously it's very contextual, but all other things being equal, which of these statlines do you think is likely to be strongest on a card?
26%3 cost, 3 Might
21%3 cost, 2 Might, Shield 2
53%3 cost 2 Might, Assault 2

I worked under Dan Felder at Riot and I found him to be both extremely knowledgeable about Game Design and also an amazing mentor. Now he's doing a Design Bootcamp! If you're a Game Designer, you probably have a lot to learn from Dan, so check it out: gamedesignskills.com/courses…

Do note that this is a months-long Bootcamp that is targeted at people who are or want to be professional Game Designers. If you want to know more about Dan or Game Design, he's posted a lot of free stuff over the years in his blog danfelder.net/ or posts like this

The new d2 patch is amazing! Even if you don't want to play Warlock, the QOL for everyone else is already worth getting the patch for (plus all the new items and endgame content ofc)
The Warlock is here and you know what that means. ✨ Skill trees mapped ✨ Tabs open ✨ Old instincts waking up @NumotTheNummy dives deep into the Warlock class in Diablo II: Resurrected – Reign of the Warlock. 📺 blizz.ly/4cvYiCo

Check out the newest PoC Champion! Some clarification: He will get one strong item upgrade on each card in the Emperor's deck. This will also apply to any Emperor card you find during the adventure. His 6* gives all items and relics to all champs, including support champ.
It is time! Azir joins the Path of Champions in Patch 6.12, live on December 3.

The MTG Avatar set looks really cool! A lot of the cards look interesting and exciting to play with and I feel like it captured many of the iconic scenes and characters from the show very well
