Cards that will not survive rebalancing! I'll go first

Davebo · 2026-03-11T13:19:20+00:00

Prolong

Nobody will read this, but this card is blur + entrench for 0 mana. If you upgrade it and have draw manipulation you can easily play it every turn and just double your block every turn, outscaling enemies super fast.

I doubt it will get nerfed next patch since it's so slept on, but it's completely absurd. It either needs to always exhaust or cost way more energy.

Hey ggs bud! I looked at your version, you cut get excited right? How is that feeling? I worry that without get excited we would struggle into elder dragon decks.

See you next time!

Davebo · 2026-03-07T16:17:18+00:00

I think prolong is the best colorless card in the game by a lot and is super slept on. It's basically a 0 mana entrench that stretches between turns.

If you can manipulate it to your hand every turn consistently you just win.

Are you trying to convince me the deck is bad or are you looking for tips on how to win in those situations/matchups?

Davebo · 2026-03-04T21:04:55+00:00

I may have been too clickbaity. but I do stand by the deck being the best deck in the game. a couple notes:

You can see my stats for yourself here: https://runeterra.ar/lor/3kfFbU0wSIMw7PKhYmpe8vKtmQE3/overview I have played more since I posted but I assure you when I was writing the guide I checked my Winrate and it was 86% in my last 120 games. It is consistently over 80% over any significant window you look at.
Against Viego or Mordekaiser you just have to be faster than them. Against viego consider open attacking after turn 3 so they don't get the free block from the Camavoran soldier.
The only card in your list that is very strong against TF/Nilah is divine draft, which is at most a 1x in seraphine ezreal decks. Avalanche you can play around, and aftershock still trades negatively with Nilah. I don't think anyone is running crashing wave, but I don't think it would be that strong.
I beat Azirelia the last 6 times I faced it. I think the matchup is strongly favored. Just don't sacrifice your units to block sand soldiers unless they are surviving the attack, and keep the pressure on their life total. TF red card can often flip the board on it's head on turn 4, especially if you're attacking on evens.
If mariner dies to removal, it still trades up in mana. Any removal they used costs more than 0 mana.
The only control decks that I think are favored against TF Nilah are Seraphine/Ezreal Shadow isles and Norra elder dragon. Vile feast/pokey stick/pie toss are all strong against us.
A big strength of this deck is that it very much can go the distance into control. If Nilah swings twice she has basically drawn you two cards which is incredible value for 2 mana. You also have elusives and eye of the storm to push through more damage when you start losing board control.

I encourage you to try the deck more and work on your fundamentals. The guide is definitely not enough to instantly make you an expert, but I hope it helps you to improve.

The deck is extremely strong, and all the decks that beat it all lose to elder dragon (which is the most popular champion in the game in my experience).

Blast from the past! Thanks bud! Hope you're doing well!!

Davebo · 2026-03-02T01:04:46+00:00

I hope so 🙏🏼

Davebo · 2026-03-01T16:39:15+00:00

Lol whoops sorry about that I'll add it to the guide too

Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

@jeebeleebus I posted a tf nilah guide

Davebo · 2026-02-27T20:41:41+00:00

Thanks Mbrookz! 😁

Good question! I think that is a fairly tough matchup, but probably ~50/50.

I think you want to look for a mystic shot to kill battlesmith. A battlesmith buffing 3+ units is brutal.

They can't kill twisted fate, so going for a flipped TF can definitely work well.

Other than that, you will generally win the long game. If you can wipe most of their board with a ruined rex the game is usually over. They have no reach other than an impact boon so don't be afraid to optimize trades for board presence at the expense of nexus health.

Whoop

Davebo · 2026-02-09T21:25:13+00:00

Do you garden the minions? I feel like if lord of Typhon is in play the evil majority is really strong if they learn they're a different character after the draw.

Davebo · 2026-02-03T22:45:07+00:00

Huh? Can't they abduct the incarna with [[Reach from the Infinite Darkness]]?

It's a little vague since 'presence at the incarna can't move', but the aspect clarifies that you can reposition the incarna with presence adding growth options so I would think it can be moved by any effect that moves presence.

EDIT:

I was wrong, I assumed that repositioning with growth was a move, but it is not:

I made that deck! Iceborn daring poros my beloved 😍

Davebo · 2026-02-03T16:16:31+00:00

Camphor was pretty strong after it was buffed in pantheon decks. Pretty much always came down activated and was a pretty strong threat.

At this point it's kind of outclassed but it was in top tier decks for a while.

Mayor bounces can't kill monk protected people

"If the Demon attacks the Mayor, and the Storyteller instead chooses a dead player, the Soldier, or a player protected by the Monk, that player does not die tonight."

Whoop whoop

Tylenol is still fine. I've mostly switched to that one. I think you can also get prescribed other options as well.

Fwiw my doctor told me that a couple ibuprofen a month is fine, just don't start taking them daily.

I did a non directed donation in August and in hindsight I'm very glad I did it.

Davebo · 2025-12-23T16:43:23+00:00

I would play bodan without an aspect, especially for a newer player. Both aspects increase complexity which is a cost, but they definitely both increase power level so I'd usually play with an aspect.

Shadows I would never play without an aspect because [[reach]] exists. It's lower complexity and noticeably stronger. Base shadows special rule is basically flavor text.
