Discussing The Best Decks Post Patch

So sitting around tier 1 in Plat right now with minimal time and effort.

So we can talk a little bit about the decks that can help you climb in this new post patch meta, and more generally "what's good" without resorting to a mastering runeterra approach.

Keep in mind these aren't the "optimal" versions of these decks these are brews that I use to climb and are very different from how others play the game...typically open attack spam.

Deep was the underdog pre patch now it's just a dog, very flexible in terms of tech mine is anti aggro but you can go vengence and strike and that will give you the advantage in the value mirror.

While Pantheon is kinda dead right now, leaning into midrange with the newly buffed burst speed battle bonds makes fated cards very scary, and post sunlight blade nerf you go crystal Ibex to grant overwhelm.

Ramps very strong and similarly can be built a handful of ways, class shadow ramp, targon ramp, and my preference for fun demacia ramp. Has the added benefit of the 8 drop putting you put of range of burn and single combat is always a card.

So thats my jank that works for me as a meme star, let's talk about whats actually good.

1. Pirate aggro is doing better then Annie Jhin in the numbers right now for the simple reason it goes wide better, so if you don't have a way to deal with go wide strategies right now you will get blown up.

2. Scissors pkg is one of the best grind you down value decks right now. Going less all in on the girl and her level up attack and more so just hey every attack phase I represent 10 dmg with garbage while you waste resources. I HATE it so it must be good.

3. Kaisa - similarly doesn't really care about the champ as the wincon anymore and is more interested in jamming the 6/6 overwhelm plus going wide plus rallies and only then once you have delt with every other card in their hand do they play Kaisa for those final tics of life. Ironically this play style is harder to deal with then the old turbo Kaisa.

Conclusion: There's a pretty healthy balance between aggro, control, Combo and midrange right now but some of the more popular play patterns do drag you down on the fun scale.

Go wide, open attack, demand answer, play champ, demand answer, grind out the value game, and then and only then win or lose.

Probably with the new expansion and the new 6 champions we might see a mix up in play patterns which should be fun. But the balance right now like I said is very strong.

Update just hit diamond.
