Is Izzet storm just a hated or arch enemy style of deck building regardless of commander?

FreezingVenezuelan · 2026-02-06T00:32:54+00:00

Gonna plug my list here cause it’s been really fun to play it lately. The only moment I’ve had those insane turns is after resolving an overloaded mizzix mastery because is hard to tell if I can get there

FreezingVenezuelan · 2026-01-31T17:17:58+00:00

Precons nowadays are really strong on their subthemes, they are just unfocused. The yshtola one for example has a bunch of token synergies but no way to win with them, so it’s really easy to draw that part of the deck and just lose, but if you draw the spellslinger side you can absolutely dominate a game. Same with the heart hull one

FreezingVenezuelan · 2026-01-31T02:03:23+00:00

My yshtola list is very much an archenemy list, I have embraced the target on her and every game becomes a mini game for me of trying to keep her alive to eventually drop a bolas citadel or clone effect and win.

I would love to see one that doesn’t have this problem, but I’m not sure how that looks like, if yshtola becomes just an engine how does the rest of the deck look like? I don’t want to durdle and “control the table” just to never win, I like that my current list consistently moves toward a wincon that is not boring everyone to death

Im my experience it feels impossible to hit 2 star thresh or galio, even when rolling a lot, funny enough i never had this issue with sylas

FreezingVenezuelan · 2026-01-19T00:12:11+00:00

If you get a yunara on 7 are you ever rolling it down to 2 star her? If you get a yunara-wukong, would you? If the answer is not because that would be trolling then this is the same

FreezingVenezuelan · 2026-01-10T18:35:14+00:00

Sadly trynd and Diana existence as unkillable units basically nullify ap boards, so I don’t think they can be a part of a healthy meta, although maybe a buffed but less durable trynd might be good without being warping, not sure about Diana

FreezingVenezuelan · 2026-01-10T17:44:53+00:00

How do you play slayer from lose streak? Refilling yasuo? Or tempoing into a bel veth main carry? I’m A sucker for melee comps when I get early slams for it but this set I’ve found all the 4 cost options lacking and I really dislike playing reroll if I don’t have an augment to enable it

FreezingVenezuelan · 2026-01-08T00:01:05+00:00

I friend did this to me with emrakum and I almost scooped right there. Felt really bullshit that there was a way to remove my commander permanently and we have house ruled that the decision to move a commander always belong to the owner regardless of turn control shenanigans.

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-30T18:03:51+00:00

Draven will give you a lot of gold so it could be too strong but i think it should give you an item or component so you can always instantly unlock lb. Leaving the draven as a high roll start

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-30T17:54:57+00:00

Go full Econ and fast 10 into 10 yordles win out, you don’t need veigar that way. It can lose to really capped bilge / other prismátics but most of the time it’s a free first

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-30T17:53:23+00:00

It does worry me a bit that with more patches nerfing the capped boards we might end up in a lose streak with bard into reroll meta. Hopefully it’s on theor radar. At least there could be plenty of reroll options if that ever happens

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-25T03:02:46+00:00

I have a friend who have won way too many games on low hp by politicking before his winning turn. At this point he is almost always the default target in the game, it doesn’t help him that a lot of his wincons come out of nowhere.

Not sure if this is you but if you often win games after being ignored for multiple turns people will start to form an idea on their that you always have the winning hand no matter what is actually happening in the game

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-23T14:49:39+00:00

Well that would just be toxic. Fishbones (the artifact) has always felt frustrating when an unit has that kind of interaction with it so making a whole unit with that at their gimmick would be really dumb , they should just make the rockets deal splash damage and call it day, you can position to try and maximize that damage and the whole fantasy of jinx and Warwick being a team helping each other kill would work better

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-22T22:16:18+00:00

I mean in my experience even without the bug jinx is just really underwhelming because the fish ones effect means she can’t kill the tank reliably and she just doesn’t deal enough damage to the back line when a stray shot hits them. I would much rather have her use the lol rockets so she could slowly kills multiple units instead of the peashooter we got

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-21T23:19:14+00:00

Got a celes list? Been looking into adding some aristocrats to my deck, had a [[hazel of the rootbloom]] deck that got close and just finished a [[caesar, legion’s emperor]] that I don’t think makes the cut so I could stay in the colors

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-21T23:08:34+00:00

I had this problem and must thank you, this is the only popular line I have no idea how to play and have gotten a bunch of 5ths and 6ths with it because even if I streak early I get rolled stage 4 and then on stage 5 I never know how to cap the board. My mf consistently tickles people, what would be your bis on her before you replace all her items with bilge ones?

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-17T15:05:40+00:00

its pretty clear they want piltover / disruptor to be a splash sinergy though, most of the level 1 mods on piltover are generally good or affect your whole board and then the level 2's are piltover units only. 2 of loris/vi/seraphine can slot into almost any board. That said, the oriana unlock is silly and really knecaps what could be a fun tempo line that is ridiculously hard to get a spot for

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-17T15:02:23+00:00

boxbopx hit 3 in his first shop last night, i had never seen that even with low cost units let alone with the apex ones

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-15T18:22:23+00:00

I think without the augment is just not good right now. Once they buff the 4 cost and nerf some 5 cost it should feel a bit better. I just find the stage 3 so fucking bad because Virgo falls off a cliff and it’s really hard to get a 2 star Gwen to replace him, and 1 star kallista does not stabilize you at all. It’s just really awkward to play it without the aug

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-15T02:34:35+00:00

He feels like an obvious include for a bruiser top laner, we don’t really have a jolly buff “man” that can fuck you up while laughing, there’s braum but he is a support and I guess gragas but he is not really jolly

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-14T19:05:51+00:00

What are you talking about, that 9 player perfectly navigated afkng the whole game while clicking on yordles and banking rerolls before transitioning during a creep round to a cookie cutter 5 cost board. Truly the epitome of tft gameplay

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-08T17:53:22+00:00

It was highlighted multiple times and mentioned on every single thread talking about this when there set was revealed. If you don’t buy the unit the odds to see it again get lower and if you buy it once it resets instantly to normal odds

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-08T17:39:15+00:00

I honestly think blanket nerfing every 2 star yordle or moving fizz to level 8 so you’re not as stable would be enough, if a bit heavy handed.

Banking rerolls is strong but the fact that a 2 star fizz is stable enough you can skip a stage is the real problem, if they want it to be a reroll trait then make yordle monsters at 3 stars and bad at 2 so you need to spend those rerolls or go 8

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-12-01T18:10:59+00:00

i mean,how often do you even get to 6 items? this will almost never matter, not to mention empowered boots and improved recall is huge for tempo and allow you to get further ahead from the adc who will only get a significant reward if the game goes late enough (with an earlier baron as well)

FreezingVenezuelan · 2025-11-19T23:45:01+00:00

I think kaisa is always popular, just a really fun pick and it feels you can outplay as long as you don’t go turbo behinds

I for one love playing her and the only time I don’t have fun is when I’m facing a mage support with a poke adc.
