L2 Viktor + Zenith Blade + Shards of the Mountain = the new They Who Endure. Or without Blade, on Nyandroid, if you wish so.
I think that a lot of people are underestimating how powerful the discount can be. It reminds me of Herald of Dragons, but on a more durable body and able to discount more cards. One use that I don't think many people are thinking of is using Viktor in a Celestials deck to cheat out Celestial cards a few turns earlier. Also, Viktor would be kind of crazy with something like Living Legends or using The Traveler into another Celestial. Noxus also offers the possibility of discounting Captain Farron's Decimates or playing multiple Noxian Guillotines.
You know which card works better with celestials? Aurelion Sol
Yeah Aurelian Sol is definitely better, but he’s ten mana and requires a specific board state to play. Viktor can come out way before that a discount Celestials very early, and against Aggro he isn’t a dead draw. I could also see a Viktor/ASol deck being possible where Viktor gets out Celestials early and ASol brings the inevitability. Combined with the Targon Allegiance card there are a lot of ways to cheat out Celestials before turn 10.
That's why I think viktors' level up requirement is well made, you can have him be with a lot of combinations cause creations are prevalent in many regions, so you don't have a locked in region.. well at least yet.
