Rhys: The Fast-Paced Flutist Who Turns Tiles Into Turbo-Chargers
"Is Rhys still the golden boy of yellow stacks? We dive into his unique tile-altering mechanics, his massive attack buff potential, and whether his 2022 stats can survive the 2026 meta. Plus, why he might be the best friend your Xnolphod never knew he needed."
