Ionia is a cool region, I once said that LOR is at its least fun when Ionia is strong
But maybe we are over compensating a bit
Pretty much every region had playable decks in standard and eternal right now
But despite the inclusion of what's on paper some of the best draw and even a 1 mana deny
They just aren't really getting anywhere right now
Do we want to see the return of Ionia allegience for kenin spam?
Or do they need more low curve options like dragon priestess
Either way it would be nice to see decks other than Evelyn, illoi, kaisa, scissors, and aggro be playable in standard
And it would be nice in eternal if ping spam wasn't the go to control solution for every deck
But what do I know I'm just the eternal king, who can win with hilarious brews in both formats
It just so happens that in one format that's a viable masters strategy and the other not so much things are too narrow

So its actually really really hard to win with memes
I wouldnt recommend it for bad players
Like for example chamilion works in my eternal transform list because of his high value optimization
He either transforms into a 4 mana regen creature that draws a card meaning you draw 2 cards or he transforms into two ping birds for double pings
It's not just hey look I ran a bad card funny
Or hey look I just owned you with frostbite wolves in standard how funny
I actually built it function optimally that way
Ooooh Evelyn poros really stretched your noggin with that one
Maybe build so it doesn't suck tho?
Again memes = hard
And I win at hard
Okay you gonna run 49% nasus in standard?
Go nuts you could probably do better
But big boy be big is a deck
Finding partners compatible with your personality who can fill in your knowledge spacebar clicker
Omg that darkness deck was so bad what was that 20 turns of nothing?
Play anything else
Was that your jayce deck too?
Blaaaaaaah
And you know what hilarious?
Doesn't matter how many games I let you guys win
I still have the masters medals for the last two seasons
And I can just grow my collection whenever I want :)
You see a lot of players they meta grind, they burn out and leave, they really don't contribute anything memorable
But the reason every struggles with Nifty as an established part of the LOR community
Is that I generally don't give a fuck
No deck trackers, no counters, no net decking, no nothing
Just me and my brain and my decks
And the fact that works drives people crazy
Well unfortunately I got the medals, most people don't proofs in the pudding
