There is one problem. Blizzard considers only regular cards for their non-duplicate policies, so even I was mising only 2 rares (The SI-7 agent), while opening packs I'm receiving cards which I had either 1 regular 1 golden copy or 2 golden copies, like Blizzard took into account only having collected the regular cards.
Have you disenchanted any SI:7 Agents since the update? If so, then the pack opening algorithm wouldn't give you any because you have already opened them.
If not then I guess golden cards aren't taken into consideration, which is kind of weird, but it makes sense. I don't like to keep golden cards, so it is nice to know that I can safely DE those and still be able to reliably open normal copies.
Sorry, had technical difficulties about something. This is the OFFICIAL place where all the cards will be posted. The other was unorganized, so I scraped it. Had a little issue with pictures. Sorry about that!
Anyway, welcome to the first custom Legends of Runeterra Expansion! Like on here and Reddit. Me, with help from KANSAS, are leading the charge to make more custom LoR cards on this site. If you want to help more with this project, like making a region's cards or just singles, PM me! Anyone is welcome. No new regions or keywords this time, just the cards. There are custom champions here to showcase the sins, not any in LoL. Feedback is very much appreciated. It is my first time and I want to improve it.
The story here is Ezreal, the master of activating traps due to relics. accidently released the 7 mortal sins onto Runeterra. Well, 5 at least. They now have rooted themselves to a region that fits them. They corrupt them with their evil. They first take human-like garbs to best fit it, but as they get more powerful, they reveal their true forms. Hope you enjoy this, it is been fun to make.
I don't see the connection here, I am talking about new cards that will replace hofed cards it has nothing to do with Golden cards, the moment you have all playable in a deck epics/rares/commons you will get duplicates, if you are in the stage where you get duplicates in classic packs you better save them until they add replacement to hofed cards.
This week there's so much freedom in the design that I can't decide which one to go with. Any opinions which idea would be the most promising one for this competition?
And a question about Dazzik: He is based on Dazzik "Hellscream" in Dalaran Heist adventure but for this contest, I made him a completely new appearance due on his characteristics of being able to copy the appearance of another. In this entry, he steals the appearance of Rafaam. Would this be an acceptable entry for the contest or is it too far gone from his adventure boss version? It's still based on Dazzik himself. Thanks a lot!
So as usual (As of now) Blizzard will probably replace Leeroy Jenkins, Acolyte of Pain, Mind Control Tech, Spellbreaker and Mountain Giant with other cards whenever they will be bad (like last time) or decent.. we don't know they made better balance decisions lately so maybe they will make those cards more niche.
Well the main point of this thread is some kind of advice: if you are a long time player and your classic collection is full/almost full, don't open classic packs! , I realize it only 3 weeks ago.. sadly..
Since if you wait until those replacements are introduced, you will get new cards rather than duplicates thanks to the new duplicate rule. also there should be some DH cards this year that will go to the classic set probably at the end of the year so if you have DH cards you didn't get this year and they go to classic you will get them on those unopened packs!
If your classic collection is quite small this probably doesn't apply to you but, with the new rule I guess most players can get a full set of classic common/rares within 3 months or so of playing. so you also might want to wait until you open more of those classic packs you get via quests or tavern brawls.

Even assuming you got a 1/3 in t1 every game (which is impossible, chances are lower than 50% if I remember well), there is no way it can turn as strong as Prince Keleseth was: because no upgraded hero power can be as overwhelming as cards, especially when you can't get the HP you want 100% of the time (so there is always a double RNG filter: card draw AND Discover).
Moreover, Highlander restriction is much harder than Prince restriction. And Prince was deemed oppressive by many, but it was never nerfed.
For Wild:
Same as above: have you ever seen Highlander Tempo (Tempo because Sir Finley of the Sands can provide survival, but it can't provide Value to fight toe to toe against a real Control deck) decks toppling the meta? Secret Mage tried and failed, it never became meta, and for a reason: Tempo requires consistency, and Highlander disrupts that, no matter what.
There will always be cards that are more optimal than others, and for Consistency of Tempo you must use both copies of the optimal cards, and ditch the others. Reno decks improve with the release of key Reno cards, while if the generic pool improves, the Doubleton deck is generally better than its Reno counterpart: ie Control Cubelock vs Renolock right now (despite Warlock having insane legendary cards).
I am really baffled at people being against a Sir Finley of the Sands at 1/3 for (1), both in Standard and even moreso in Wild, where Reno Paladin is nowhere near meta, less so a dangerous deck for meta balance. It would just become slightly more satisfying to play for offmeta junkies...
I keep track manually-it makes opening packs more interesting.
Just for my own curiosity: why does someone play one multiple regions? Isn't that either expensive or extremely time consuming?
I'm f2p and I started doing it just for fun, completing the dailies and seeing what different metas were like. Then I realized that I could play different decks on different regions depending on what I opened from packs on them which I'd otherwise not have the dust for.
Somehow that's evolved in to getting triple Legend on NA, EU and Asia this month which I'd gotten by the 17th. Won't do that every season though - and if short of time easy these days to just complete 2 or 3 quests on each region every other day or so.

I used to keep track, but I no longer do that cause I forgot to keep track a few times and I don't know the values anymore of most packs.. so yeah I don't know..
All those complaining that it's a storm of RnG and an absolute mess? It's supposed to be exactly that. I play Tavern Brawls to get away from the grind of Ladder and the self loathing of Arena.
It's not something you have to play (unless you are still collecting Classic Cards) it's just there as a bit of light relief. Why take it seriously? 😂
I know I've already posted way too many ideas so far, but here's one final design:
This version is the simplest of the ones I've come up with, acting as a nice anti-secret tech card. Because it specifies the top secrets and not random secrets, it is guaranteed to mess with Mage's secret draw and cost reduction cards, and it is also less able to be abused by Paladin Secret decks to upgrade their Secrets. It also somewhat keeps the potential use as a Bazaar Burglary quest support card.
I hate the forced political agenda this represents, but I am aware this became more of a marketing and a "why not" for Riot since concervative people are less likely to care or get hurt so it's a win win situation for them.
Also the emote is quite offensive when you look at it, you are clearly saying.. "you are gay" when you use it. And the rainbow poro is inferior to moon struck I but I can see it fit better with the arcade board.
I dislike the pride concept let people be gay, whatever but the political movement, and pronoun stupidity, needs to go away.
I can see that basically this Pride month is some global marketing event to sell stuff to LGBT easier so I can see why Riot does it, but I personally dislike it, and I can have my own opinion don't I?
Thank god, the druid I faced in that brawl realized his mistake in 2 turns and elegantly conceded. That extra layer of RNG in the match making made me even more thankful that it was one and done. Thank you, random druid (Amaya) <3

I understand your Point of View.
I'm Part of the „Target Audience" they try to reach, and my first Thought when I saw this was: Hah... GAAAAAYYY!!!
Stuff like this is always funny to me. It's like SETI trying to communicate with Aliens using the most basic Symbols they can think of.

Thanks.
Just out of curiosity:
Is the number of votes somehow influential?
In my opposition, an average vote of 3.9 from 10 votes should be a better result than a 4 from one vote.

You can change the Region for each pack you open: it's the top drop-down menu, on the left.

Had a quick look - wasn't obvious if this worked with multiple regions or accounts though - do you know?
