If you build up a champion, or one of the Elusives, with power buffs and attack multiple times, any opponent will feel the pressure. The closest thing we get to a Rally in this deck style is the Midnight Raid from the Ruined Reckoner. The Lifesteal is there to help you stabilize against Yordle Burn or even Pirate Aggro. The Barrier helps keep you safe against bigger strike spells and it can also let you block into Sivir. The full set of Spirit’s Refuge may seem like overkill, but I think it’s very necessary. Whirling Death is criminally underplayed and can enable favorable combat against even bigger Dragon opponents. Syncopation and Twin Disciplines are your best tech against the strike spells from Demacia. Our deck operates faster than them and has a high spell count to dodge a lot of the interaction those decks play. ![]() The biggest weakness a deck like this has is that doesn’t run many ways to defend its troops, not at least to the degree of the Demacia Elusives shell.ĭragons and Lurk – two dominating archetypes in the meta – both win with board states that grow in pressure due to the size of their units, and both of these decks combined have over 20% of the meta’s play rate. ![]() Much like in the Elusive decks with Demacia, if you’re attacking on odds then you’re best to pass on two with the mana up for Twin Disciplines to defend Zed. The Reforge package included with Zed is always a strong way to pressure from as early as turn three. The deck wins by committing a champion and amassing a number of pump spells to make the combat situations as favourable as possible. Zed and Riven is a champion pair that’s by no means new, but it’s still a deck style that rewards players for applying their buffs at the right moment and outclassing their opponent in each combat. I decided to look for more suitable ways to pump a less brittle team. The opponent was playing a Quick Attack-style aggressive deck – I tried to emulate it, but upon further testing, I found that a big problem is that cards like Trifarian Gloryseeker and Thorn of the Rose are both really bad in a world where Pokey Stick exists. One such deck, featuring Zed and LeBlanc really caught my eye. If the deck impresses me, I take the idea and reverse engineer it based on the cards I saw and what I imagine their gameplan is. Be it a strange champion combination or an unlikely choice of second region, I usually show them a little love. When playing on ladder, I reserve my greeting emote for a player who’s brought a unique deck. IzzetTinkerer here, and I do indeed tinker.
