Yeah maaaath sorry

What happened you didn't get your high roll neeko, jarvan, rally exact hand state?

Almost like that deck is 90% garbage?

Oh wait

Yeah you can't high roll through my poro deck being better than yours sorry

Doesn't work that way you almost got there but no!!!

Like yes you can sit there with your 45% winrate deck and spam board and cross your fingers your wincon will mysteriously appear sometimes it will

But most of the time the good deck with the good wincon will win sorry

And yeah I even misplayed and wasted 3 mana on my end with the yumi equipment interaction cuz I'm still tweaking and it didn't even matter!!!

Thats the power of a good deck not a meme shiiiit I might even include 1 fluff for exodia who cares nobody runs answers

Shiiiit that was fast is standard ladder supposed to be hard or something?

You know what I'm even gonna cut the meme down 50% and rock 1 porialis 3 darkin lode stone thats nuts

Now I'll never lose

Yeah you high rolled again, it's pretty obvious why I steer clear of this format when thats kind of the only bow to your string

Like why play neko when you can high roll lurk and pings don't exist?

Also murai warden did nothing for you so your only addition there was pointless

No wonder your poro deck is at 45% you can't high roll it rofl

It's okay nifty is here to tell you that high roll decks only do well in standard and that high roll decks are memes that don't carry good players it's all right hush hush

How about I dominate standard ladder like I dominate eternal ladder with my brews and then I'll become a master at both formats?

That sounds nice

So instead of memes and below average deck building. I'm offering you sustainable powerful decks that can counter play against the 58% winrate stuff and win on ladder

Because thats what I always do

If you want easy go somewhere else

Also it is implied and tested that these decks are eternal playable as well, where you definately can't get away with memes

Never build memes guys, we saw it in eternal with thresh nasus and we are seeing it now with tutor neko

Having your entire deck revolve around 1 expensive card had been historically bad

Not only from a winrate perspective but from a tournament perspective as well.

So we have 45% pro deck

We have a 49% ambush deck

And we have a 51% nekko meme deck

Thats not really impressive so much as it is absolutely terrible failing 3 times in a row

Yeah even if you high roll meme the current bird lady deck has hard as humanly possible its still average

And good to know you're using my 7 drop now rofl

Like what are the chances that will hit exactly bird lady tutor in jarvan into 9 mana rally?

What happens every other game?

Do you lose 50% of them?

Sure seems like it!

Thats what the numbers say

Maybe try including spells?

Idk

See the thing is this deck can't out aggro fizz Samara it can't out aggro midrange LeBlanc so what exactly is it doing? Beside meme tutoring elusive neco sometimes but not all the time?

Like really this is the elite tutor deck it tutors jarvan, it tutors garen, and it tutors neko and then it rallies. Everything else it does doesn't matter.

So we have another case of deny or bust deck building with 0 counter play options.

It's not like Ionia got massively buffed in this patch or anything so relying on a 9 mana card or a 6 mana challenger is bad

Oh wait...

No you give Nidalee 2+2 and shes unstopable in mono shurima

you give the birds tribal synergy and they become unstopable

and you give poros good cards with your brain pan and they become unstopable

Swim would have had this figured out in 50 seconds so instead I had to do it

Like do you guys need me to style on you any harder

All you pro players had early access and all you managed with the new champs was a 49% garbage fire?

Nah I guarantee all 3 of these day 1 brews from me are 52% plus just by merit of them not being garbage

Like poros with bilgewater plunder activation?

Ambush with random pie toss?

bird lady elites?

what were you guys thinking!?

So it was pretty obvious to me that all the gooood bird lady cards were literally bird tribal cards

CUFQCAIBCYAQICINAEDAGKIBAYCSAAIHBIFQCBYCFYAQODAMAEDQOLABA4CQEAQBAACB2AQBAUAR4AABAEAQKMI

giving birds quick attack and plus 1 is nuts

giving them plus 1 and impact is nuts

Again in standard context these things are horrible outside of that

But you know shadow isles giving you all those yummy on curve control cards is just how I roll

Kalista on curve allowing you to potentially resummon your big tribal pieces

I call it hitchcocks nightmare and once again it's better than the day 1 lists

I'm on a roll 3 for 3 with the new champs, because I am the master memer competitive players can't put their head around this stuff

It was succeeded to engage my attention. I'll probably try and love the game then like almost all competitive games, i will hate it because of "meta" nonsense.

Yeah sorry standard has already moved beyond the lurk power curve under my brave tutelage sorry get wrecked

Basically standard is gonna be:

- my king deck

- my ambush deck

- Fizz Samara

- illoi Swain

- midrange LeBlanc

And you can tell which ones are mine and which are mindless competitive decks

The ambusher:

3- prowl

3- hedgehog

3- poacher

3- trooper

3- rock hopper

1- Bushwack trap

3- Aurora

3- avenging

3- desert duel

3- cub

3- ambassador

3- renekton

3- nidalee

3- overwhelm dude

Fully standard playable and strong

Generally superior to pre-release lists period full stop with their sub 50% winrates

The king: CUEQCAIECQAQEAIDAEBQSVIBAMCBGAIEAEHQCBQJB4AQODAPAICQUHMMAECACAIICAMTKAABAEDAUKY

3 - lonely poro

3 - daring poro

3 - poro bot

3 - Sheppard

3- hush

3- yumi

3- purifying flame

3- poro blacksmith

3 - snax

3- poro sled

3 - poro king

3- Aurora porialis

Fully standard playable and strong

There is a bit of a consideration for poro cannon as well if you're desperate for elusives but since the nerf that feels less good

https://masteringruneterra.com/meta-stats/

Every pre-release list is bad and has a sub 50% winrate don't use them

Use my ambush list in standard it's generally superior or run poro king in eternal where you have braum support troll chant etc

I even got standard poros figured out

3 yumis, 3 purifying flame, 3 hush let's you guarantee elusive dmg and let's you react to all in strategies 

Hahahahahaha yeah my ambush deck is better than the pre release list yeah sorry

Go back to your beater decks

Yeah most effective standard decks right now are just beater decks

Now if you go all in on one body like that you're basically praying no hard removal which is why I stay away from the format generally speaking

You cant pull that garbage on eternal ladder, but there are no standard control decks right now

Can you guys make an article about what it's like to play D4 as free to play? Curious to see when you start hitting walls, what they are about, how far behind you end up and what this really means etc.

I have the feeling Sargeras will appear in the miniset, which will be centered around him.

I wish they had made Radio Star a collectible card in the previous expansion instead of printing Fate Splitter now.

I mean, the optimal statline for both formats is different, but damn, I like the flavor of Radio Star so much I think it's a shame it doesn't get to be a collectible card.

Edit: the expansion looks cool, especially the Titan cards.

Natalie is a standard terror, she generates free lazers like lux and is easy to level and can provide massive overwhelm dmg with buffs

But not only that she synergies well with vulnerable in her own kit while in quick attack mode, you factor in the ease and flexibility of maining 3 creature denies and you've got the makings of an absolute terror for this limited format

Poro king is gonna be great in eternal but can be flex swapped for standard playability. In eternal you run braum, troll chant, spirits unleashed and in standard its pale cascade, yumi, and purifying flames.

Either way leaning heavy into elusive poro, and overwhelm poro is the way to go and sled is gonna be your big beef, with lots of little dudes and chaff to trade off

So there ya go two very competitive standard and eternal decks day 1 by the master memer aka the eternal king aka nifty the forgotten 

--- pro tip---

Don't Natalie unless you can turbo her level up and with poro king it's kind of thr opposite

His level up doesn't really matter, like I know the first theory crafted list was like run alllll the poro 1 drops to turbo king but it's like great you got a 1 mana reduction in snacks....who cares just take normal snacks generation it's fine and play a better value version

Now if poro kings text read all your snax become special snax that might be worth the turbo. You aurora porialis for 6 and it's boom 2 special snax because you leveled poro king even on his death but just 1 special snax each turn? Seems kinda win more idk or don't win at all because both you and your opponent are 6 creatures deep on board.

I think there might be a valid argument that standard is starting to get power crept a little

For me that's fine makes the format worth playing for me personally

But if all you wanted to do was jam cost efficient followers at that 4-5 mana range

Standard may have already started moving past that

Turn 3 concede on my ambush deck all because I made the dreaded bush into 2/2 3/1 play. To be honest tho that is nuts it's like do you have a 3/2 to block? No then lose game cuz mystic shot doesn't exist rofl!!!

I am speaking of pakaa cub, so basically because it costs two to summon Bush and paka has a ambush cost of 1 paka isnt 3 mana he's two and a half mana because spell mana counts for half.

That with his swing potential of 5/3 stats on two across two bodies makes him a nightmare

Resummon brush with Natalie after for massive tempo, am I the only person who knows how to evaluate cards properly?

Butterfly not bad either, big overwhelm dude maybe the worst od the bunch but in this deck you gotta win somehow right? Overwhelm and overwhelm Champs are it

I'm still very interested to know what the Wild part of phase 2 is going to be.  I honestly thought they would announce something like this mode, but that it would be more like Wild but with some bans, etc, to try and make a more balanced "Wild" while letting actual Wild just be... wild!

Who knows!  This might be a future Twist rule set.
