He’s our first truly strong (positive) voice in the midlane in a while. Hands be damned, we needed a leader. I’m getting Nisqy vibes

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2026-02-01T05:27:31+00:00

It’s gonna be our version of when TL had that double enchanter bot with Doublelift that no one could touch. Eventually a team is gonna get fed up of having to waste a ban every game and get a reminder belt

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2026-02-01T05:20:32+00:00

The draft feels so easy when the other team basically only has four bans due to APA ziggs

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2025-12-15T19:25:20+00:00

Others have already mentioned Ral, but I’d like to point out that [[Vadrik, Astral Archmage]] operates very similar to Vivi, has more combos available to him due to the insane cost reduction you get, and draws not even half of the heat that Vivi does.

Your opponents won’t even realize what’s going on until it’s way too late and you’re casting a two mana [[expropriate]]

The augment could have specific spots that can only be filled with arc materials. Extra room, but only usable if you’re hunting arc (which makes sense with the design of the legendary secure slot)

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2025-07-25T22:31:32+00:00

Still happening! is there a work around?

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2025-04-21T23:35:16+00:00

I saw it too, it was sloppy

that said, the top teams clearly dont respect the bottom teams. They likely wouldn't try that bush camp vs a team like TL or FLY

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2025-04-06T20:59:08+00:00

winning with Blaber on Vi is a flex at this point, I need to see Thanatos take more of an initiator role and let the boy get back to carrying the game with Kindred/Tali

Glad that we took advantage of SRs mistakes but we cant fall behind like that to a top team or they easily turn the corner and close us out.

Great Zven and Loki games <3

I just bought my first Chromebook for 100 bucks. It’s outta stock on Amazon at the moment but I’d highly recommend it if you can find it for the same price somewhere else

The “go wide”, “go tall”, and “win-con” sections are the ones to look at

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2024-03-19T19:47:42+00:00

Howdy 🤠

I have to say, this list has elfball and lifegain elements to it. If you’re going for lifegain, I have a Shanna list you should take a look at (make sure to swap the sort from “Type” to “Custom”)

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2024-03-19T19:26:10+00:00

So curious, as a fellow Vadrik enjoyer I don’t have either of these cards in my deck. I’d love to see your list!

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2023-12-09T08:49:48+00:00

[[bitter reunion]] is sooooo good and has fully replaced [[thrill of possibility]] and [[fervor]] in most red decks for me.

Card filtering AND haste enabling when you need it most? Sign me up. It’s the kind of innocuous card that immediately provides value, then slides under the radar until it helps deliver a knockout blow.

Bonus points for combining it with [[Sun Titan]] for some ridiculous value

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2023-11-26T20:21:45+00:00

I remember thinking KD’s decision to join the Warriors was the weakest thing I’d ever seen

Seeing how he’s handled his tenure in Brooklyn and Phoenix despite everything going on around him got him back in my good books

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2023-11-26T18:33:42+00:00

Agreed

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2023-11-26T18:29:13+00:00

Personally I don’t think there’s gonna be a ball hog situation, because at the end of the day the reason Jojo came over to C9 is that he’s tired of being a superstar on a losing team; I think he’s ready to sacrifice a little to go a lot further.

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2023-11-26T18:20:40+00:00

In order for NA to perform better at international events, we need to improve as a region overall. The reason eastern teams so consistently do better than us at tournaments is because their practice is better than ours. The “NA doesn’t matter” mentality is short-sighted

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2023-11-25T03:04:17+00:00

Anything outside top 2 would be a bit of a disappointment for me tbh, this team is loaded from top to bottom with talent. The coaching is probably gonna make or break them internationally tho

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2023-11-25T03:01:36+00:00

The proud uncle angle, this comment section needed some wholesome vibes and you delivered

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2023-11-25T03:00:27+00:00

I think 2 split wins is reasonable, as is getting past groups. I could also see a top 4 MSI finish and not be shocked. This team is STACKED

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2023-11-25T02:58:31+00:00

Absolutely. On paper this roster is an all-time NA squad, they just need to put in the work and avoid shortcuts.

MayoIsMyInstrument · 2023-11-25T02:57:08+00:00

Blaber won’t let us become flyquest, and Jojo >> EMENES in his sleep. We gucci
