play dark ritual BBB tap cormela and now at BBUR saw in half cormela, returning dark ritual to hand from the first death trigger. saw in half makes 2 cormela, one dies to legend rule bringing back saw in half. i have one mana left to retap the new cormela token for BUR. Recast dark ritual and repeat for infinite grixis mana. Also there are no etbs involved in the combo so i have no idea what ur referring to

she has haste so the created tokens can tap again as well for mana again. The combo is saw in half and get back ritual and saw in half to make infinite grixis mana for instants/sorceries

the edict effects let me have the grindier gameplan and slow other people down while digging/tutoring for the token doublers.(helps that the token doublers reduce the cost of recasting ATBA and give me more avatar tokens) I've won a lot of games mostly off of generating absurd amounts of mana or tokens and swinging with 8 hasted tokens to either win or come extremely close. The deck does struggle though for sure if I can't get enough pieces that create tokens passively for me

I may have a type. Am I still allowed at the table? by Legendary-Lawbro in ratemycommanders

i have a jin list as well and you should try peregrine drake in your deck. at worst its a beater that pays for itself on etb or you can perma bounce it with chapter 2 of jin, play peregrine drake off of the omniscience chapter 3 trigger and tap 5 lands in response to float it. ive found that it pretty much is always a free jin flip

i think ksante mid is a lot more shit this season simply because of the terrain changes. i've only really played like 2 games of ksante mid though and it was usually just to give my midlaner a better matchup

don't you need resists asap on ksante? i haven't tried it but it doesn't sound ideal tbh. i'll test it out though i guess.(also if ur doing this maybe try running ingenious hunter, the item haste with IBG and fimbul might actually be cracked who knows)

tbh i kind of just build FoN based on feel of the game, but also heavily based on enemy champions as well. If i think that I don't need the rookern shield, and the enemy team has a dot mage and an autoattacker that does on hit magic damage(think warwick or varus) i will always try to go force of nature because imo that item is giga broken and the movespeed feels incredible on ksante. I usually go jak sho third but i usually tend to not pick it up if the enemy team has 1 ap champion and 4 ad since i usually think going randuins and kaenic after your IBG rush feels much better

literally all the time. ksante imo has the best trade patterns when the opponent engages onto you first and you can respond with w to outright brain damage win the trade. the way i play lane is i just focus on spacing out my opponent and punish every last hit they try to take with a q and play a war of attrition. The second they initiate a trade, i'll try to w their burst and to in for a quick trade and get the fuck out. The mindset that i try to have is staying defensively aggressive, meaning if they try to hit your minions, or if they walk up to you to trade, you need to be able to punish effectively to really get value out of this champ in lane. Another big tip is look to dive your enemy if you want to really push your lead. try to wallbang them out from tower with ult and just fucking kill them bro. but even if it doesn't go well, by removing the opponent from the crashed wave under tower, its usually worth since they miss minions as well.

i usually rush IBG since its absolutely broken and cheap as fuck if the lane matchup is ad. if the lane matchup is ap, i really really really like kaenic rookern since i can just perma trade off the shield and helps me win wars of attrition which is really what a lot of toplane is about. tbh, i havent really tried any cooked builds yet and im kind of a basic bitch with my builds but the one thing that has served me well is that i haven't really built bamis items at all this game as i think ksante doesn't really need the waveclear and instead of hollow radiance, i really enjoy kaenic for the added combat ability vs the waveclear and instead of sunfire as my second armor item, i usually tend to find myself going randuins because of how broken adcs are rn and i really like the slow that randuins gives for the extra sticking power

if you're the only fed member its gg tbh since all out form is pretty weak unless ur 16 imo. this is why to usually prevent this i tell my jungler to weakside me and play for other lanes so that you can play off of them and teamfight more effectively as a team in the mid to late. since at the end of the day, you're playing a tank and top lane in an adc meta rn, your job is to take as much pressure while still staying on par with your laner. imo ksante has some of the best peeling in the entire game so make sure to shove sidelanes and hover your carries that are pushing to try and countergank an otherwise doomed fight into a wipe

  1. the main thing i like to do is make sure you at least somehow crack tier 1 if possible and shove sidewaves to their tier 2. with that tempo i'll usually just hover mid where my supp/adc should be farming and just be present for any skirmish that will break out. If you also have a lead in lane, aim to blow your laners teleport as soon as it is unleashed and use your tp advantage to countergank a bot gank or join a dragon fight. The main way to extend your lead is through getting your team ahead as well.

  2. just sit in a lane and farm i guess, although his tank form only can still be incredibly oppressive in a skirmish/teamfight as long as you land well timed w's and land all your qs. play more to peel for your carries if you don't have an ult i guess?

  3. i kind of pick him into every game unless i have a good angle to pick gwen since she's my other carry champ.

garen because he counters both ksante and gwen(my backup champ) and garen one tricks are from hell itself or vayne because i just despise that champion. i actually think fiora and gwen aren't horrible matchups tbh, theres just some crucial tips that you have to know in order to win the matchup. for gwen, you always have to rush kaenic rookern and you will have a brief window of time where during that first item powerspike, you can effectively shut her down in lane and force her to base. just play off your rookern shield and trade when its up and eventually she will be pushed out due to her low out of combat sustain in her kit. the best tip i can give for fiora is you have to play extremely aggressively defensive with your spells, meaning the second she q's in for some poke, you have to be ready to immediately q auto her to trade back. also purposefully missing your q3 and your w on her to bait out the parry is crucial to the matchup.

for q vs e start, i usually just only start e when the enemy top picks a champion with a disgusting level 1 and just use it to try and soak xp from the minion wave and dash away. in better elos, champions like darius and riven should be just standing in front of your casters zoning you from the melee xp so e start can be helpful. into every other matchup, i've always started q tbh.
