While this sounds cool I do see trying to test for this a little challenging. I am curious to see what top deck emerges from this (hoping it isn't Aurora).
As we eagerly await the official bans this Friday, we’ve decided to spice things up for our #Riftbound Open! ❌ Riven, Kennen & Kai’Sa are NOT allowed! 🥇 First place will receive FREE entry to our $10K Anniversary Tourney at the end of the month!

Good to see such open communication. Shoutout to the @playriftbound team!
Still finalizing announcement for Fri, but since we know many are trying to figure out how to prepare for upcoming tournaments, we wanted to let you all know that any bans we make will be EFFECTIVE MON NOV 23rd, and will not impact events happening between now and then.

Honestly forgot they were doing this. Am curious to learn what ends up happening moving forward with these potential going 2nd rules.
Everyone talks about bans but we almost forgot we had side events with “Start of Game” specific rules for going 2nd. The meta did take different turns based on the rule applied (draw, +1 point, or nothing), let's have a look. #RCEU

My hope is that they don't just hit the busted cards and also hit some of the cards that are miserable to play against if you aren't in Purple.
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.

Played this deck for a few hours last night. Will say I was surprised how good it felt at times. Some matches felt unwinnable at a certain point. Definitely a cool build and major congrats to them for doing so well with the list!
Hello everyone, haven't had time to check twitter so haven't answered all the comments. I wanna share the list and thank all of you for the support and hope you have fun with it, deck profile going to be up in @TurnThemSide eventually. #WeBalling

You know you love a game when you’re bummed about missing a local tournament because you got your weekend dates wrong and made commitments already 😭

This is the sort of thing that I miss about not having my printers in working order. Maybe it is time to either dive back into getting them working again or scrap them and get a new one. #3DPrinting
I made a very tall totem with 6 faces! It looks so vibrant and cute. Now I am going to leave this outside for one year and check back the damage! Follow to see reveal next October. I miscalculated the print time. It took more than I expected. Well better late than sorry ✌🏻🤪 I

Very interesting list for sure. Will have to try it out this weekend. No Balls makes me hesitant. Congrats to them for making day 2 #riftbound

Not going to lie this is kinda cool.
If you could put yourself on any Riftbound token, which one would it be? #RCEU

What is fucking wrong with people, Imagine seeing Riftbaddies make their comp team already one of the shining beacons in the riftbound community and you are like "umm trans people bad" 1) you are stupid and ugly and i dont want to hang out with you if you hate trans people 2) Transwomen are women, and there is nothing being taken away from anyone else by wanting to be a space for specifically voices that might not always get as much attention in cis male dominated spaced. like fuck people figure it out, the blue nami was this week clearly people are done with the rights hateful rhetoric

I mostly agree with this. Not sure I agree that Hourglass is actually the problem. But am willing to be wrong.
TL;DR at bottom I’m once again reminding folks that when calling for bans, the conversations should not be involving statements such as “X color is too strong and needs bans!” Riftbound decks are NOT built around colour combos but rather around Legends. When PG Master Yi was BDIF, Jax was doing nothing. When Irelia was BDIF, Yasuo was doing nothing. While Kaisa is tier 1, Ekko is.. you know Although I agree that Stellacorn needed to be banned a few sets ago, it is not enough of an argument to say “Green/Purple is a broken colour combo that abuses Stellacorn too well”, because it misses the nuance that the Irelia/Riven legend abilities themselves facilitate the abuse of Stellacorn. (Ezreal community please don’t shoot me) Stellacorn in and of itself is not a busted card. If it were, then we would see every Green deck play it. The point is that it needs synergy to be over the top, which just so happens that the Green/Purple legends themselves are providing for almost no cost. Not to mention Starspring as well being a 0e draw a card a lot of the time while also protecting both units in base. Lastly I want to talk about Astral Heron. Astral Heron is genuinely one of the coolest and well designed cards Riot have ever put out. Not too overcosted that its only viable if you cheat it out, and not too cheap that its oppressive. The oppressive interaction with Heron is with the hidden Zhonyas’ Hourglass. Astral Heron hiding any other card underneath is completely fair and fine. And I genuinely mean every single hidden. The issue with Zhonyas hidden is that there is not any reaction speed gear removal in the game. “But Berkun, we have Offer at action speed.” Its too late by then because they already got their Heron trigger and will defy/NSF your gear removal. Convenient that the important counter spells are 2e or less. So you’d need to invest a lot of resources to even get over the 7 might Heron, they flip Zhonyas and counter your gear removal, trade their Zhonyas (1p) with 7 might worth of units on your side if you didn’t use a pump and reconquer next turn clearing the rest. Or if you did use a pump to beat over, your unit dies anyway next turn to the Heron thats now safe in base. Format still would not be fixed as you also have to tune Kaisa, Kennen, and Aurora but thats a post for another day. TL;DR Legends run Riftbound, not colours. To hit Riven: Ban Starspring, ban Zhonyas and ban Stellacorn with the understanding that the Riven/Irelia legend abilities were mistakes. Heron did nothing wrong.

Without the “Best Of” prizing I feel like this meta share would be seen more common in #Riftbound. Wonder if this means something is changing soon. The gap between Riven and Kai’Sa/Kennen is concerning. Not to mention the gap between Kai’Sa/Kennen and the rest of the decks.
Riven's blade is showing its strength heading into the #RCEU? 🇩🇪 Will it be the favorite or the field in Stuttgart?

Game two was Nekusar Clones and took 24 points of damage in one turn and the died to Price of Progress. And it was just a 3 man pod. Think I will stick to 1v1 tcgs for a bit longer

I’ll say this. Raffles suck but I think they are the most fair way for people to get these products outside print to demand which I don’t ever see happening for them.
