riftbound legend alanzq is registering mel for regional qualifiers this season but i don't think she's that strong. she can definitely win games but they do NOT feel good to play. there are too many what-ifs: do i have empowered researcher? am i scoring every turn? do i have enough interaction to hold? the games she wins feel like flukes more than total domination. this is one match against a non-meta deck, so take it as a first impression
