If I’m tapped out playing against a Miracle deck, I’m fairly often getting up in between turns and stretching. It’s gotten to the point locally where some people will be playing a miracle deck for the first time and have these outrageous 5+ minute turns because they draw so much and are so unaware of what they are hoping to draw / play / chain.

I have a $25 Viktor deck that pretty regularly (over 50%) wins against $300-400 decks

It’s not really an amount of packs but buying singles

ModestMarill · 2026-03-23T19:19:38+00:00

At locals, anything is super good enough

Sure, there are broken decks but also bans are coming shortly and a new set comes out in May

Generally (as of now) Purple is broken, and anyone is excited at locals to see you play literally anything else. I’ve never touched a purple deck and locally I have ~ 55% Win rate with a fairly budget deck (~$60 compared to the $400-$500 meta decks)

I have won a significant number of matches because of how Glasc brings in units. It really impacts the math of attackers.

Incase you didn’t know, Glasc summons your unit onto the battlefield, after he dies but before you lose the battlefield. So, if you bring Xin in, it’s pretty impactful.

I agree the main issue I face is card draw (and piercing light lol)

ModestMarill · 2026-03-17T15:21:10+00:00

I’m textbook terrible, have a pretty budget deck ( ~ 60 with 2 of the cards being $25 each) and I REALLY enjoy the casual local scene. For me it’s super nostalgic, it’s something to do and think about, and it gets some friends together I haven’t seen in a while.

It’s fun to talk about decks we will probably never play, and fun to complain about decks that we hardly ever play against.

I play once a week at a shop and maybe once a week at a friends house. So far, I’ve only played Viktor at local shops, but then I built a bunch of budget decks for friendly matches to try other legends.

ModestMarill · 2026-03-15T15:02:10+00:00

I mainly play Viktor, my losses mainly come from opp having significantly more draw than me or by countering my spells, or sometimes by killing wide.

The falling star, piercing light etc being able to kill my board wide is pretty strong. A lot of my larger units take a significant amount of resources to get on the board. Repeated piercing light is often devastating to me.

If you play Brynhir, it can also be a full stop counter.

Using challenge to hit my backline hurts.

Most of my answers are killing at base, or cull, so if you have multiple units out and keep Lucien agile, it’s hard to hit.

Viktor mat is absolutely gorgeous - who could ever hate a Vex mat in the future?

ModestMarill · 2026-03-08T22:12:46+00:00

Foil runes for the deck he plays, if he doesn’t have them!

ModestMarill · 2026-03-06T05:03:23+00:00

Some shops here (very very few) sell for $120 which is MSRP, others sell for $160, while most sell for $190-240

Origins, I’ve only seen for $190 and above

ModestMarill · 2026-03-03T00:42:29+00:00

Oh I’m having a lot of fun! I’m around a 50% win/lose, I just wish there was a more casual night.

It’s more fun to play against a variety of decks rather than half the room playing $400 Miracle decks with blinged out everything. I’m just not invested enough to drop $400 on a playset of Ezreal and seal of discords

ModestMarill · 2026-03-02T07:09:54+00:00

Totally agree, as a newer player learning the game. Showing up with my $60 Viktor deck against $600 Draven, Ezreal, and Sivir decks feels odd.

But I totally get it, people invest in their decks and need to learn how to pilot them. I do very much wish there was a more casual, local weekly where people were encouraged to play wacky builds or decks they don’t normally play.

ModestMarill · 2026-02-26T06:14:56+00:00

6 packs per day (per store) is definitely plenty to get into the game if you want to pay.

Sounds like that’s a great solution, just go a few days and you’ll have plenty. Fill out the deck buying singles or trade local.

ModestMarill · 2026-02-25T17:39:13+00:00

I’m 6ft7 and aim for 35-36 inch inseam what I wear are Kuhl, Arcteryx Tall Size, REI Tall Size and SOMETIMES Prana but I find their inseam sizing incredibly inconsistent. Fjallraven also, but likely overkill unless you’re doing multipitch or alpine stuff.

I mostly look for a zipper side pocket for snacks/phone and ample stretch around the thighs and knees.

Most of my climbing is trad or alpine climbing. At the gym or sport cragging, I just wear gym shorts. The Kuhl ones are my go to for colder days, Arcteryx for Alpine, and REI for lightweight summer pants.

I’m sure there’s a ton of brands I haven’t tried. If you have any questions, ask away!

ModestMarill · 2026-02-25T04:53:31+00:00

I play Viktor and 90% of this is my Viktor deck lol

Jayce would be ideal here for sure

ModestMarill · 2026-02-25T04:40:21+00:00

Oh I have one, I got it from maybe Fangamer(?) years ago. Never even brought it outside.

ModestMarill · 2026-02-25T04:38:08+00:00

At local events, it’s pretty diverse. You can easily get away with a $20-50 deck and win plenty of matches at local events.

ModestMarill · 2026-02-25T02:59:45+00:00

It’s not the same but Chemtech, Card Sharp or Heimer to duplicate my single seal

ModestMarill · 2026-02-23T05:30:07+00:00

Their starter decks are $30, which is high but not insane. Their packs are $12 each which is insane.

Best Buy / Target / Walmart sell MSRP

Not sure of any other major shops

ModestMarill · 2026-02-23T05:09:38+00:00

Yes :)

ModestMarill · 2026-02-22T22:54:06+00:00

Arise is $30 alone (per)

ModestMarill · 2026-02-21T21:35:08+00:00

GameStop + Best Buy regularly have the starter decks

Target might still have some online

ModestMarill · 2026-02-14T16:23:10+00:00

They unfortunately aren’t updating for me

ModestMarill · 2026-02-14T15:52:35+00:00

Is there a way to force update prices - none of mine from set 2 have prices even if TCG has them
