New Demacia Champion - Jarvan IV

His concept is neat but 6 mana? Well he can challenge an ascended Renekton at this point... and die

We still don't know how many turn it will take to get the level 3 ascendants, and from the wording I assume Jarvan will level up in deck which mean he will probably be level 2 by the time you play him. And came to think of it, an ascendant Renekton on level 6 is going impossible match up for any champion, not only does his effect activates on attack and block but since he only cost 4 your probably going to have enough mana to cast quicksand.

Is there a world where this whole set of cards is enough to make Confront worth playing? It is still a 3 mana spell that does very little but when you want Jarvan IV to challenge things this badly it might be worth while.

His spell cards cataclysm seems better since it also give him a free attack, also there are better alternatives in other regions, Bilgewater and Shurima both have lot's of cards that gives enemy vulnerable, which count as being challenged, and Ionia has Sonic Wave  who for the same cost as confront gives challenger and +2/+0, plus all those pesky protection spells.

True, you're likely right. I just thought it was worth mentioning. It is worth keeping in mind that confront is permanent while vulnerable is only one enemy and cataclysm and Sonic Wave are only temporary. That likely won't be enough but I did feel it was worth bringing up.

I really hope that card get's a buff, I mean it's Shyvana's champion spell for god sake.

The Tattered Flag token gives permanent challenger so I doubt confront will be played.
