Agreed that it feels wierd that sienna and some others aren't dual region. It feels odd seeing these light "sentinels" as shadow isles based cards. Clearly meant to pair with demacia (flavor wise), but why do I get the feeling that they'll just be used in Viego decks?
Damn, some dank potential for an insane Control deck with Senna, provided the meta would not return to fast aggro. Even then, as someone who adores [ruencard]Warmother's Call + Counterfeit Copies, it still can't compete with infinite value unless you literally play Ledros.
I like her...a lot...but I hate that this is another late game Shadow Isles champion that flips off Kindred. It literally has the same stats and key word.
I was mostly looking at the spell with the word 'deal' in them, and Pack Your Bags didn't show because of some filters I didn't intend. Besides, the list is in no way exhaustive.
Does Senna work with Drain? What's the wording on that?
It holds over from the previous fight, only resetting to the full amount after one of the bosses (Thresh, Sejuani). You made it to Sejuani with just 2 health remaining, so that's how much you start the battle with. You have to be careful with accruing damage, and/or pick cards that'll restore your life.
It's like riot had enough of people complaining about weak removal lol.
Anyway I noticed a trend here, it looks like they want each Yordle to synergies with a non Yordle champion, Caitlyn have synergy with Teemo, Senna have synergy with Veigar. Based on that I think that Ziggs is going to be a Shuriman champion and will have synergy with Xerath.
I actually think this is pretty good! It's like a Level 2 Zilean but it doesn't require a champion slot and is activated far earlier in the game. Sacrificing turn 4 for this might be kind of dangerous, but SI has enough control tools that I think it could work. Aside from the obvious synergy with Darkness, I think something like an SI/Freljord control deck could try to use this to outvalue other control decks or duplicate boardclears like Withering Wail and Ice Shard. In a go hard deck it could also be pretty insane.
The limited-time events were going to be XP events, but because no one liked not leveling up at all outside the events they just scrapped the idea altogether and just gave winning a bigger XP gain, so you are pretty much right I imagine. I am going to try and get a source for this when I get home.
Also, Ben was gone for at least a year by the time the BP was released.
Yes, and seen in that way the "Summon/Attack: Put a 3 mana 2 dmg fast not-fleeting ping in hand" isn't bad, and can be helpful if you're struggling vs. aggro or u need that little damage for something. Plus his champion spell is expensive but is better Vengeance at the moment of using it, makes a very good card.
Edit: The fuck!ng ping also enables breaking fuck!ing kegs i love it
I am proud of you riot, you not only managed to create a prebuilt archetype once again but also you massively buffed everyone's favourite archtype control.
The spells added to shadowisle's region are completely nuts making sure that shadowisles keep doing what it did since it's creation.
*sleeping hedron emote
Okay that's not 100% true since SI now can also break the spellspeed mechanic (which was always a very problematic thing to do in MTG)
I don't like at all what I am seeing here because this is without a doubt a t1 control archetype...
I KNEW IT! The Darkness spell in Veigar seen too weird and misty in the animation! Btw, all my Viktor Veigar dream (the VV deck as i called it) get bulldoze by Senna, the 300 sentinels who give Darkness and all of that support. Very weird that Senna isn't SI and Demacia, ingame is logical, she doesn't fit in any Demacian bullsh!t (You know, killing and damaging spells in Demacia?) but from a lore standpoint (and a Lucian standpoint) it would be nice that she was SI and Demacian (I know that double region is something of Bandle and Yordles for now, but it may be good to implement in other cards aswell cuz is a good mechanic) Also, Buhru & Demacian Sentinel, and in part Watcher on the Isles are (i think) very good for my ultra sacrifice Nasus deck, huehuehuehuehue
Edit: IM SO FUCK!NG REGRETFUL THAT I HAVENT COMPLETED THE SENTINEL EVENT I WOULD HAVE A SENNA WAITING ME AND IN THE MORNING (In argentina it was barely 5 hours ago while i was drinking mate), I CRAFTED 2 FUCK!NG VIKTORS FOR MY ZILEAN DECK NOW IM OUT OF WILDCARDS AND SHARDS AND I NEED 3 SENNAS AND 3 VEIGARS, AAAAAAAAAAAAH
Fun Fact: I was all about to think that the other Darkness-hurling champion would be Karthus, cuz the singing yordles revealed with Veigar

Yes it does, in the trailer at 0:33 you can clearly see Withering Mist being cast at fast speed.
Senna: New Shadow Isles Champion Reveal - 11 New Runeterra Cards Revealed
I don't know if it is the best use but fast speed Winter's Breath looks really nasty aswell
Senna: New Shadow Isles Champion Reveal - 11 New Runeterra Cards Revealed
Drain is nothing different than deal damage with lifesteal attached to it. Therefore yes Senna does work with drain
What's up with yourlife total in lab of legends?!
It's not random when you start a new stage your nexus is going to have the same amount of health it had at the end of the previous stage.
For example if you ended the Scars stage with 10 health you will start the fight against Sejuani with 10 health.
Some passive abilities like Immortality can heal you between fights.

These are all good but you did not mention the scariest one, fast speed, Go Hard and Pack your bags.
What's up with yourlife total in lab of legends?!
Is it random?
I've had games where I start against Sejuani at two life. She plays a one drop and wins.....
Other games I started against Viktor at 6 life..but sometimes 12..
What determines your life total?

Senna: New Shadow Isles Champion Reveal - 11 New Runeterra Cards Revealed
This looks nuts! But why aren't Senna, Demacian SentinelBADCARDNAME, and Solari Sentinel dual region?
Edit: Fast The Ruination, pog!
Edit 2: Other cards I see being broken with this:
If Senna doesn't get nerfed to have her acceleration tied to her LV.2, I'll be shocked!
New Shadow Isles Champion - Senna
Riot if you care even the sligtest about other TCGs you might know that this speed ability is super dangerous to have in a game.
Adding it to a lvl 1 champion that also has a great body AND ongoing value generation on a 5 drop is just... such a bad idea.
To me there is no way at all that Senna won't be meta defining you just can't overdo it like this.
Just compare Senna to Kindred and tell me they are from the same game lol...

New Shadow Isles Card - Demacian Sentinel
You won't trigger this ability on turn 1 or 2 usually. Still it is very strong to predevelop a 3 drop for 1 mana in the early turns. Looks very potent

Yes, and seen in that way the "Summon/Attack: Put a 3 mana 2 dmg fast not-fleeting ping in hand" isn't bad, and can be helpful if you're struggling vs. aggro or u need that little damage for something.

Making damage and kill spells Fast speed could open up a lot of opportunities, not just for Darkness decks.
