This card is far better than it looks. Given that it has Tough and you're most likely going to have played at least 1 card before playing her, Vi's basically better than a 5 Mana 3/6 Challenger. Against aggro decks it also serves as an amazing blocker.
This seems very bad. It would need to survive for at least 4 more rounds after being played to put it on par with Decimate. The only way this could ever see play is if Swain turns out to be extremely easy to Level up and keep on the board, in which case it's a 4 Mana 0/5 Minotaur Reckoner that targets the Strongest enemy, which could be viable. I expect it to have to be buffed to 3 Mana though
I have started playing Legends of Runeterra about ~2.5 months ago, got all 3 copies of each card, reached Masters and i'm pretty exited about the official release of the game, I have played many card games before (Hearthstone, Eternal, Yugioh, Faeria, Gwent, etc...) they are all great games with their unique play-style, but there is always that 1 game decision by the makers that turn if from "Great" to "hm...yeah" sometimes "ok...that's it for me", be it card balance, card release frequency (slow-fast), massive change of game design, or even games switching business models altogether (f2p ->p2p).
Now back to LoR, during those 2.5 months I have seen many kinds of decks and strategies and i would like to share my 2 cents regarding each of the 6 Regions currently available starting with a personal ranking of their popularity:
3- Ionia (There are Elusives in one side and then there is Deny)
4- Demacia (Or should I call it "BannerMacia" ?)
5- Noxus (Go face or go home!)
6- Freljord (No comment...)
This just shows how even if there are a few different decks, they tend to use the same "Main" regions with slight variations in the supporting ones.
Giving all regions equal answers for specific strategies, could help diversify the decks (for example, dealing damage and/or killing enemy units shouldn't be reserved to two or 3 regions, same for card draw "some have 6+ ways to draw cards, others have 1").
I really hope these new 120+ cards have some of these "Answers" for the regions that needs them most.
Yet again its mystifying why they didnt at least include the current most relevant expansion into the deal.
Its a good number of packs for that price, but did any of us really waited till now, and haven't just crafted the cards we wanted? If there is at least 10 packs from AoO I might have been tempted, to be honest.
Seems okay, but I think it’s probably worse than Fleetfeather Tracker. It does have the upside of having scout and being a Spell, but it costing 1 more Mana is pretty significant

Regions current situation
Hello,
I have started playing Legends of Runeterra about ~2.5 months ago, got all 3 copies of each card, reached Masters and i'm pretty exited about the official release of the game, I have played many card games before (Hearthstone, Eternal, Yugioh, Faeria, Gwent, etc...) they are all great games with their unique play-style, but there is always that 1 game decision by the makers that turn if from "Great" to "hm...yeah" sometimes "ok...that's it for me", be it card balance, card release frequency (slow-fast), massive change of game design, or even games switching business models altogether (f2p ->p2p).
Now back to LoR, during those 2.5 months I have seen many kinds of decks and strategies and i would like to share my 2 cents regarding each of the 6 Regions currently available starting with a personal ranking of their popularity:
1- Shadow Isles (fighting one Every other game)
2- Piltover & Zaun (If =/= "Shadow Isles" then = "P&Z"; )
3- Ionia (There are Elusives in one side and then there is Deny)
4- Demacia (Or should I call it "BannerMacia" ?)
5- Noxus (Go face or go home!)
6- Freljord (No comment...)
This just shows how even if there are a few different decks, they tend to use the same "Main" regions with slight variations in the supporting ones.
Giving all regions equal answers for specific strategies, could help diversify the decks (for example, dealing damage and/or killing enemy units shouldn't be reserved to two or 3 regions, same for card draw "some have 6+ ways to draw cards, others have 1").
I really hope these new 120+ cards have some of these "Answers" for the regions that needs them most.
