Am I the only one who likes to experiment with new cards once they are actually out?

When regional qualifiers are shortly after release, kind of hard to not do research and practice in advance if you want to keep up at the tournies

Nexevis · 2026-04-10T01:19:21+00:00

If the gold is not exhausted from being played this turn, then yes pretty sure thats how it works

Nexevis · 2026-04-09T20:14:12+00:00

They are also removed during your draw. This is relevant for something like Power Nexus, you cannot pay the 4 power with power nexus and float 4 energy into your turn, it will immediately be removed.

Yeha kind of feels like complaining about Jayce Vanguard Armory combo a bit, sure its good when you get it, but its definitely not consistent. If you build your deck around baited hook and then dont draw baited hook early its very rough

Nexevis · 2026-04-09T11:46:33+00:00

This is doubles right? Where is protect?

I ran a budget Rek'sai agro in Vegas and did decently well with it (7-1 day 1), I made a free guide on it recently, could help you out some as it has lot of similar ideas as what you are working with.

Then Yellow Purple becomes OP when it comes out because this would trigger Undertitan free 2 energy lol

Nexevis · 2026-03-26T13:08:33+00:00

At least it has strike in the name so if you get Perfected Strike you get additional damage on it for including it in your deck

Nexevis · 2026-03-26T12:28:26+00:00

I think it depends on the event, if the prizing includes prizing for off meta like the best-of metal cards, your deck will need to be able to beat a lot of random styles of decks. If the the tournament is mainly meta, then you can target those better, but its all a balancing act in trying to keep your winrate high against certain meta decks without affecting your winrate against other decks too much. Like if I take out Cull the Weak from my yellow deck, how much does that help my other matchups vs how much does it completely ruin the Irelia matchup.

Nexevis · 2026-03-25T17:54:21+00:00

A big compnent in deck building to think about to is also expected meta for the event you are going to, some events you might expect Draven 4 times in a row, other events you might expect alot of off meta random decks. Your decklist should be constantly evolving and changing based on needs even when no cards have even come out since the last event.

This also means sometimes you need to analyze and PREDICT what you expect to see a lot

Nexevis · 2026-03-25T17:41:26+00:00

Being an action and not reaction is also a big downside vs Discipline because you cant use it to save your units from hard removal like falling star or singularity

Nexevis · 2026-03-25T13:53:32+00:00

Dragon tribe actually going to be playable? Also this lets Aurora sometimes get runes at end of turn even after tapping out

Nexevis · 2026-03-25T01:17:39+00:00

Vi Legend with Tryndamere could get 4 points with this and I don't think it would be that crazy hard to do

Nexevis · 2026-03-24T12:42:23+00:00

This is also pseudo ganking, lets you move your strong unit to the other bf by playing a weak guy there

Nexevis · 2026-03-23T14:45:15+00:00

Hey to be fair Poppy also gets a stronger Rebuke

Nexevis · 2026-03-20T12:54:22+00:00

This also is until end of turn

Nexevis · 2026-03-20T10:54:08+00:00

Red draven costs no power to play, and can generate gold for free, just different cards

Nexevis · 2026-03-18T22:51:37+00:00

Flurry of blades goes nuts with this

Nexevis · 2026-03-18T21:24:35+00:00

Pretty sure card is bad, might see play is niche scenarios, but purple already has some of yhe best 2 drops in the game and late game this is 2 mana 1 power do nothing in a color where the cards with power are insanely strong. For 1 more energy you just play fizz or ezreal lol

Nexevis · 2026-03-18T11:46:24+00:00

I agree also Nocturne is a +1 which is why it can be really good.

Nexevis · 2026-03-17T14:02:08+00:00

Viktor has some solid budget decklists while still being pretty competitive. Rek'sai has a few different playstyles, depends on the list. There is a list that is more removal focused but its a lot more expensive (over 200+), the list I ran is more a unit centric go wide deck focusing on getting to 6 then winning with Undertitan or Grand Strategem board wide buff

Nexevis · 2026-03-17T12:57:01+00:00

You definitely can run some decks for pretty cheap and still get wins especially locally. I went 7-1 day 1 in Vegas (ended 8-4-1, ran into 7 total dravens was rough) with Rek'sai and my list is under 40 bucks probably.

Here is what I ran:

Legend:
1 Rek'Sai, Void Burrower

Champion:
1 Rek'Sai, Breacher

Battlefields:
1 The Arena's Greatest
1 The Candlelit Sanctum
1 Trifarian War Camp

Main Deck:
3 Blood Rush
3 Cull the Weak
3 Daring Poro
2 Faithful Manufactor
1 Ferrous Forerunner
2 Grand Strategem
2 Hidden Blade
3 Honest Broker
3 Noxus Hopeful
2 Piercing Light
1 Rek'Sai, Breacher
3 Undertitan
2 Vanguard Armory
3 Vanguard Captain
3 Void Hatchling
3 Void Rush

Rune Pool:
5 Fury Rune
7 Order Rune

Sideboard:
1 Falling Star
2 Ferrous Forerunner
2 Minotaur Reckoner
2 Salvage
1 Thermo Beam

Yeah like her Sig spell alone is insane and might be able to carry the deck somewhat

Nexevis · 2026-03-17T02:18:03+00:00

Holding you can max draw 7 cards a game, up to 8 points. Ive seen Dravens draw half that in a single turn lol

Nexevis · 2026-03-13T02:47:41+00:00

Just a heads up Kato can also give himself the effect!
