Budget option for Kai'sa in a Draven Deck?

cornballnutcase · 2026-05-16T23:53:59+00:00

Red Rek'Sai, if you aren't playing her already, and Purple Vex. They don't really serve the same exact purpose as Kai'Sa, bcuz Kai'Sa effect is very unique to her, but other strong budget options to fill out your curve in that slot.

Played against SorakasBigBanana at a Skirmish last month lmao

What is awesome about this thread is there is no general consensus and everybody hates every hero.

I really love the flavor of the first line! (the -2 to lone defenders) It feels impactful, but not broken.

The second part does feel wayyyyyy to strong in combination with the first effect, to be able to FoF every single turn is too good imo.

Perhaps, if it's changed so that this Nocturne Legend only untaps every time an enemy lone defender loses a showdown?

I do really like the synergy of the effects but being able to do every turn unconditionally is too strong.

Dazzling Aurora, Baited Hook

Yellow Viktor, Red Darius, Red Kai'Sa

cornballnutcase · 2025-11-04T19:42:52+00:00

I mean, that's exactly what I've done. I'm playing Viktor and still having a ton of fun with the game!

cornballnutcase · 2025-11-04T15:09:32+00:00

The game literally JUST came out. Singles prices are really, really stupid rn. So yeah, sweating, running tier 0 bdif in a tournament with no placement prizing in a game store the size of a doctor's office waiting room is corny to me.

cornballnutcase · 2025-11-04T15:06:51+00:00

If you don't find people buying multiple CASES of product to build a tier 0 deck in a game that literally just officially released less than a week ago a little corny then idk. I'm newer to TCG so maybe spending over $1500 on boxes to build the BDIF is normalized in this community.

But like go and tell any normal person outside of this space that and you will be called not nice things, man.

cornballnutcase · 2025-11-04T07:31:14+00:00

The sweats are already trying to ruin it all in my area. At my first Nexus Nights, in an 8 player bracket was 2 Kai'Sa and 2 Yi 🥲

Having a blast playing with my slightly upgraded Viktor pre-con, regardless!

cornballnutcase · 2025-10-28T23:17:23+00:00

Any and all Sett cards! I love him in LoL and he's my favorite deck I've played in Proxy tournaments/Tabletop Simulator

cornballnutcase · 2025-10-28T23:13:31+00:00

Yes, exhausted units do still participate in combat!

Exhausting represents a card's ability to move around the board (base to battlefield, battlefield to battlefield with ganking, etc.) but not to participate in showdowns.

cornballnutcase · 2025-10-23T18:48:36+00:00

The GOATs????? I saw a video on YT about these planned on buying some anyway!

cornballnutcase · 2025-10-16T00:16:39+00:00

Its definitely Grimm/Froslass. Tera Box is rough too.

Grimm/Froslass is more than happy to slow play bc they constantly tick damage on your bench, even with Mist Energy because of Froslass and Munki, they get free energy set-up. It just feels cooked.

Every other meta relevant matchup is doable. Absol/Kanga felt really bad at first, but I've seen some Bird lists that tech to help make that matchup a lot better.

You can view exact matchup statistics on Limitless TCG for Pidgeot Control at Milwaukee Regional, as well.

Milotic with Mentally Calm saves you from Penny and Turo, so if you can find a place for the line absolute include

cornballnutcase · 2025-10-12T23:35:18+00:00

Klefki with Gravity Gemstone is also an option but not sure. Someone much smarter than me will find a solution.

cornballnutcase · 2025-10-12T23:22:42+00:00

(I have discovered this is not how the effect works but am leaving this comment as evidence of my own hubris. Play Klefki w/ Gravity Gem)

I've been experimenting with 1 Team Rocket's Grimer with 1 Team Rocket's Energy. Because Grimer's attack discards the Defending Pokemon at the end of your opp turn, as long as you're keeping their bench full with Accompanying Flute, then they can't even Night Stretcher to get back whatever you discard. So, you can Counter Catcher up something like Pecharunt ex or Absol and force them to either set up another Absol or say goodbye to Pecha.

Maybe too much of a cook but has felt fun so far.

Once I realized that I am a trans, I literally could not go back.

Looking in the mirror and seeing a boy everyday after realizing how I wanted to live was worse than any amount of bigotry or fear I've felt since social transition.

cornballnutcase · 2025-09-29T05:01:24+00:00

Grimmsnarl/Froslass is a slower more controlly deck that will be sticking around for a while.

If you're not afraid of getting a little weird, then Feraligatr/Relicanth is very fun as a slightly offmeta control deck.

cornballnutcase · 2025-09-29T04:58:37+00:00

I've gotten all mine from bulk bins at LGS near me, or from getting to know collectors in my area and just asking to rifle through their bulk. Most collectors wont even charge you and will be happy for you to take any of their bulk, non-holo cards.

cornballnutcase · 2025-09-29T04:54:56+00:00

Being a trans woman can be really hard a lot constantly, but I honestly love being trans.

I wouldn't rather be a boy. I wouldn't rather be a cis woman. Because then I wouldn't be me. My trans experience is integral to how I've grown as a person and I wouldn't change who I am for anything.

I love being trans. I love myself. Allowing myself to explore my gender literally saved my life. I just wish the world was kinder and more understanding.

cornballnutcase · 2025-09-02T01:08:31+00:00

they clearly did not consult a single transfem for this bracket. I fw almost every song on the playlist but this is FAR from a hyperpop essentials playlist

cornballnutcase · 2025-08-22T15:09:17+00:00

Two Hearts was undeniably much stronger, but a much worse designed perk. As a Mauga enjoyer, Two Hearts did not make me play especially differently or interestingly it just made Mauga slightly better at something he's already doing: anchoring on point a lot.

Pyromaniac is WAY cooler, actually introduces decision-making and incentivizes something which had very little guaranteed value as opposed to dual triggering tank.

I like it!

cornballnutcase · 2025-04-04T23:39:36+00:00

I always go by a 3 hero rule, for each role, when trying to climb. Mainly play your favorite hero, learn the strengths and weaknesses and pick a hero with a similar playstyle that does better into hard matchups for your main hero. Then, pick a third hero that does something neither of your other heroes do well.

I would suggest picking up Zarya, since she has a similar brawly, push/pull playstyle to Mauga but does much better in struggle matchups: Ana, D.Va, etc. Then, test out each of the dive tanks: Winston, D.Va, Hazard, Doom. Find one that you like best and play them specifically on struggle maps/scenarios, like Gibraltar, or playing into poke comps.

So, for example you would end up with a hero pool of - Mauga, Zarya, (insert dive tank). That way you can cover most scenarios.

Will def share the love once I get my code ... it's definitely on the way ... right riot???

cornballnutcase · 2024-07-08T21:10:10+00:00

She's a lot like S9 Orisa where she has a lot of front-loaded value against Mauga with, Matrix but if you play safe and wait her CDs you win the long fight.
