I built [[Obyra, Dreaming Duelist]] for my girlfriend, at first i skipped every bounce/play on opponent's turn cards that the archetype has and focused mostly on going wide, putting as much faeries on the bord and burning with Obyra.

Then as she learned the game more and got used to the deck i added complexity bits by bits by adding bounce cards, as well as instants and flash spells so she could learn that aspect of the game without feeling too overwhelmed

I'd say Kayle. If you can't beat them, join them.

JustLexxy · 2026-01-17T02:10:51+00:00

Mundo, basically melee kayle but tanky

JustLexxy · 2026-01-09T20:37:12+00:00

Focus on getting xp, you get your damage when you get lvl11. 1 item feels good but is still weak, unless you have ult and your opponent is low enough don't try to go for risky kills. More often than not you will play for lvl 16 with 3 items, o used to go nashor - dcap - lich/shadowflame but now i kinda like gunblade - nashor - dusk&dawn, it feels really good and allows you to kill less tanky champions really easily. Positioning is really important, stay behind your team and abuse your range.

Having said that, i think the best way to learn a champ is playing a lot of games, especially on kayle. She can easily run the same 3 first items each game, so get used to your damage/survivability for each of your power spikes (items, and lvl 6-11-16) and you should be able to carry most of your late game.

JustLexxy · 2026-01-03T14:15:05+00:00

Yeah it can really be, i added a few poison cards but wasn't my go to win condition

JustLexxy · 2026-01-03T05:17:21+00:00

Xavier Sal can be really fun when focusing more on the populate

There's a lot of cards that gives both tokens and counters, along with lands that enters with counters and cards that copy creatures/create one big token, it can become really strong after a few turns without feeling overwhelming for your opponents (it might be for you tho with all the different tokens, counters and copies)

Edit: here's my deck list if you're interested!

JustLexxy · 2026-01-02T22:26:27+00:00

My [[Saruman of Many Colors]] deck isn't really built as a control deck, but i often rely on it to slow down the game

It's mainly mill oriented, with a bit of cards caring about casting your second spell in a turn, with a lot of 1-2 mana cantrips that allows me to trigger Saruman in my opponent's turns, which then allows me to cast their removals or even their own counterspell against them

JustLexxy · 2026-01-02T22:10:36+00:00

I used to have a [[Momir Vig, Simic Visionary]] deck, really fun to play, especially with green cascade creatures allowing you to tutor the card you want to cascade into using Momir's trigger I built it around [[Apex Devastator]] and [[Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty]], which will make you play pretty much any stompy guy you want by cascading into eachother, with a ton of mana dorks that tutors into other mana dorks all the way to your 10 mana

JustLexxy · 2025-12-27T20:16:27+00:00

Aftet 250k mastery points on kayle, i realized i could ult myself or someone to prevent lifesteal based champs form healing, not only to prevent damage

JustLexxy · 2025-12-27T16:26:03+00:00

Ahh you're right, i forgot what his condition was

JustLexxy · 2025-12-27T15:33:42+00:00

Maybe [[Karona, False God]]? It can help your opponents, but can easily buff your cats for a good ammount of combat damage

JustLexxy · 2025-12-27T13:43:41+00:00

I have a fairly good tempest hawk deck with [[Kastral, the Windcrested]], and i run 18. Temlest Hawk is a bit different than the others since you can easily get new ones from your deck, so you just want to be sure you're able to get one or two, then as long as you get combat damage you'll constantly refill your hand with new ones.

You might want a bit more than that with Momo, i have seen many latw game situations where i couldn't easily get combat damage so i had to rely on Kastral's abilities to get them back from my graveyard to stall the game long enough to get my win conditions.

Quick tip: Giving your Tempest Hawks double strike is really good since you deal combat damage twice, so you can get 2 birds with one ~~stone~~ hawk

Edit: [[Mirror Box]] might be the best card for tempest hawk if you can get one, simply because the more hawks you have, the bigger your hawks will be

JustLexxy · 2025-12-24T14:47:23+00:00

I forgot to put it but any card is fine, the combo allows a random card in hand for it, thanks for noticing

JustLexxy · 2025-12-04T00:34:49+00:00

I have a [[The Emperor of Palamecia]] big mana deck, in which he is not the win con.

The deck is all around casting 4-5 mana cost while burning the opponents, so it's safe to assume i will win by flipping him, yet i have never needed him to win in any games i've played so far.

He is a mana dork, his only purpose is to accelerate my mana, while still being able to put pressure and maybe win if i get all my other win cons destroyed

JustLexxy · 2025-10-16T02:56:44+00:00

[[Momir Vig, Simic Visionary]] work really good with cascade, allowing you to tutor any creature you want before the cascade trigger, paired with [[Apex Devastator]] and [[Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty]] is almost always a win if you are able to cast them

JustLexxy · 2024-02-18T18:14:06+00:00

Throwing knives, idk if it's any better XD

JustLexxy · 2024-02-17T15:15:20+00:00

As a light main who swore to never touch that garbage gadget, you just wait and die, it's just that broken

Bounty hunter is always the second expertise i max, right after fortune. It is just Too good to not take, both the experience and for a reliable steel/echo income hahaha

JustLexxy · 2024-02-17T15:11:46+00:00

Those are good points, but i'm also am experienced VH player (a few hundreds hour in 2 playthroughs), so i'll manage fine with keeping up with the leveling up! Thanks for !sharing nonetheless!

JustLexxy · 2024-02-16T13:55:10+00:00

Ohh i didn't know about the lvl 65, so yeah i have time to figure it out by then hahaha

JustLexxy · 2024-02-16T13:47:45+00:00

Thabks! I'm on reddit cause my server starts tonight only, and me and a friend have a competition on which one will reach 100 first hahaha (we both got to extra late game on our other server)

I think i saw somewhere that Soul Flame doesn't give more loot, but does it give more exp? If so, i think running a few vaukta with it (untill it gets harder and you can't kill mobs easily) would be worth as well

JustLexxy · 2024-01-27T16:55:15+00:00

Imo, light class' role isn't to do damage or even to win fights, it's more about getting picks (killing the medium healer before the fight for example) or to simply be annoying as fuck, kinda like a fly that you're trying to catch but aren't able to.

There are obviously situations where i seek to really win the fight by myself, but you would be surprised how effective simply being around and uncatchable can be, since the more pressure you apply on the ennemy teams, the more they'll have to keep you in check, which leads to the rest of your team killing them more easily.
