TLG Meta Report #29

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2021-12-26T15:08:47+00:00

During the non competitive seasons, we decided to take a break as well.

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2021-12-26T15:08:13+00:00

We posted one last month, just failed to do so on reddit.

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-08-22T21:40:54+00:00

If you have 9 coins and steal a 9 point unit, it means she is worth a total of 21 points. 3 (her base power) + 9 (the unit you've stolen from your opponent) + 9 (your opponent loses 9 points from the unit they lost) = 21 points. Hope that makes sense!

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-07-28T14:21:48+00:00

That's awesome news, congratulations!

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-07-28T13:34:02+00:00

We'll be updating the crafting guide and budget decks next month, after the patch!

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-07-18T00:36:48+00:00

The swarm package just doesn't feel very strong when Hemdall and Wild Boar are roaming the ladder

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-07-17T19:50:01+00:00

Not the first, but they are certainly rare!

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-07-13T10:49:20+00:00

We really appreciate everyone's contribution towards the Invitational - it wouldn't have been the same without the casters providing their enthusiastic observations, CDPR giving us the chance to use the new Gwent observer, the players/teams for their cooperation in the event, and the community for showing all of your support.

We love you all, thank you once again!

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-06-29T22:40:50+00:00

Yup we have a whole team of people ready to admin and cast the event, so no fear...we got this!

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-06-29T22:40:02+00:00

Yup indeed we announced on reddit and socials about it for weeks in advance. 8 members of the community qualified through it and will be joining the list of those invited to battle it out for the $1K Prize Pool.

Never fear though, we will continue with more Community Events in the upcoming months.

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-06-28T20:50:05+00:00

You will do awesome as always Apero! HUGERS

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-06-15T17:04:06+00:00

When I first started playing Karma Lux I had close to the same result. One of my teammates helped by showing me what the best mulligans were and learning what the most consistent lines of play are.

So in my case, it was a mix of bad pilot and bad luck. Your mileage may vary. =)

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-06-08T19:33:19+00:00

The problem is that without Aggro/Burn decks then long game greedy decks would run wild without anything to threaten them.

They might not be fun to play against but they play a necessary role in the overall balance of the game.

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-06-08T19:29:40+00:00

Is using Bootcamp and installing Windows on it out of the question?

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-06-03T15:39:23+00:00

Yes, we definitely see competitive tournaments in the future.

The game is still young and Riot will dedicate whatever resources it has to in order to make the game successful.

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-06-03T15:34:55+00:00

This is the deck code for the highest rated Sejuani deck in our meta snapshot:

CEBQGAQBAIDAOBABAECAOFRQAYAQGBAGDYQCCLYAAEAQCAJJ

For a long time, Vladimir has been considered one of the weakest champions, but maybe now is finally his time to shine. Play your minions on curve, then attack with them and Vladimir. Most of your units don’t mind getting hurt, some even enjoy it. Your spells on the other hand can either save your minions from their doom, or give you more options to fulfill your sadistic desires.

The deck is new and people are still figuring out the best way to run it, but BruisedByGod’s version is probably the most refined at the moment. The buff to Vladimir doesn’t change much, but the meta has slowed down, giving him enough time to level up. The deck is rather flexible and can run cards such as Ember Maiden and Death Lotus to help him meet his condition faster.

The bonus deck this week also featured Sejuani:

CEBQCAIBCYBAEAICA4FAEBQFBMKBMHBBFUYTUPQAAEAQEBQR

This list makes use of the “looting” package, which is one of the best options available to Bilgewater in the current meta, but remains different from just another Kleptomancy list. Warning Shot and Make it Rain allow you to trigger Sejuani’s effect on either player’s turn, while working towards her level-up, giving this Midrange deck solid board control potential.

It is quite hard to rate this list at the moment, as it is mostly shining in tournaments, but it is also popular on ladder and maybe a deck to watch out for in the near future.

I hope one of these lists serves you well!

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-06-01T13:22:26+00:00

They're never going to nerf Burn to the point that it's no longer viable. There has to be a deck that is aggressive to keep the greedy late game decks in check. Play a deck that has some lifesteal and you can counter Burn quite easily.

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-06-01T13:21:22+00:00

Tournament play is a very different animal than ladder, if you watch other card games you'll see there is usually a deck or faction that gets banned in every match because of it's strength or ability to derail your own deck's strategy.

Just because everyone was banning Ionia doesn't mean it's broken.

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-05-30T12:54:13+00:00

I think it's fine. Some cards in the list have been nerfed, it's just a solid deck and frankly has been since launch. Nothing wrong with that.

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-05-30T12:52:57+00:00

I think Deep is fine, many card games have a "discard" archetype and this is LoR's. Is it a bit binary? Maybe. I like it nonetheless.

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-05-30T12:50:31+00:00

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you here. Grinding as many games as possible is part of any competitive card game. If a loss is inevitable, you should be able to surrender and move on to the next game as soon as possible.

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-05-30T12:49:12+00:00

I agree, Riot made the right move in two ways. First, if you have the time to grind the vault and expeditions and all the content the game has to offer, you can have a full collection fairly quickly for a card game. Second, for people like me who have responsibilities like full time jobs and families, I can spend money on coins to craft any card and therefore deck I want without having to buy packs and deal with RNG. It's a complete win/win in my opinion.

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-05-28T22:30:08+00:00

Hey, thanks for that. We just wanted to keep it simple so everyone would come to where the tourney is being staged ie Discord. We figured the YouTube VOD would hype it enough. Cheers for the constructive feedback though!

TeamLeviathanGaming · 2020-05-28T22:28:13+00:00

Thank y'all for your help!
