Good luck to the finalists :)

New apparently means cards you've not played this game. Like Purrsuit of Perfection.

Ton of reveals here so let's talk about them.

1. Mecha Pulvarizer - Hey it's more discard synergy in Bandle that immediately makes this card good. Would really like to see the archetype have more flexibility outside of P and Z and Noxious

2. Lode stone - hey it's a LuLu turbo leveler, counting most likely as two support triggers when placed on a support unit, or at the very least you target non supporter for additional triggers.

3. Hard to level big pay off for a 3 mana champ - encourages all in on protection and burst similar to fiora, but with better stats it leads me to believe Yi will be a more competitive wincon for that style of deck

4. Yi pkg hard to evaluate flow without seeing in action, but my assumption is strong, and down right scary.

5. Catalyst 1.0 so you essentially get 4 mana follower that buffs spell dmg but it can go on any body, and costs 1 less, this is by definition higher risk due to the 2 for 1 but is more competitive at cost and flexible.

6. loaded vessle, it's a monkeys card, where each monkey represents a free instance of dmg, but again that deck mostly just wants to kill you not draw so gonna go on a limb and say bad like loaded dice.

7. hexbliterator extra flexibility for Jayce allowing him not to 100% depend on shadow isles to be competitive and might allow him to join lux again.

8. Silence and surpress is better then purify across the board and is nice tech.

9. Kayne - very cool design and look very playable

Over all thoughts they should of called this expansion unload the armory or something because it will be 90% focused around the equipment archetype. More then ever there will be an incentive to protect your followers and champs and slap powerful weapons on them, fiora with a treasure of the sands just casually giver her 4/4 and watch your opponent cry.

Like there will be broken stuff, hair will go gray, but if it shakes the open attack every round I have the token of aggro, vs the pass every round of control playstyle of LOR I think that a good thing.

21th August update: Korgano's Pure Secrets Paladin: Who am I? None of your business!

Secrets Paladin in 2022?! Yep and it is a lot of fun. The Countess is fun and unpredictable - random legendaries that cost zero? Yes please!
An off-meta deck that can steal some wins.

If you still haven't gotten the Huntsmaster achievement done, get it now during this refund window! Craft Huntsman Altimor while it can be dusted back for full value. That's what I did! 

About back alley bar:

Does "new cards" mean created cards? 

Whoever worded that card should have added to the description what a new card because this way it could mean everything yet nothing

Seal in steel is potentially SUPER powerful ... or completely bust and I am absolutely not sure what of both is realistic. 

The darkin lodestone looks... not that good? I mean it's felxible but both modes look rather meh

Quote From Theodrinus

If you want to get into Wild, Pirate Warrior is Tier 1 currently. It shares many common cards with the starter deck listed here, you only need to craft a few commons, Patches the Pirate and Leeroy Jenkins. Both of which are extremely safe crafts and are used in many other aggro decks.

which deck would you pick for this then, please? I have a good pirate warrior deck from a couple of years ago, so likely have most of the cards. 

I just don't know what deck to choose and I can't get into my account until I choose a free deck. 

The Recall progs Yasuos level....thats all.
If you play Yasuo outside of Noxus or Targon your card options are pretty limited when it comes to Yasuo synergies.
And disciple is a better option than mourned.

I really like this champ - and no matter the options I will go for a lock build in Demacia or Noxus to trigger his Alpha Slash multiple times.

I´ve hit lvl 70 yesterday and got the 20% bonus just in time for tomorrows Weeklies, so I´m quite happy about it. I´ve even managed to hit the pity timer with my very last pack, which gave me Baroness Vashj, so now I can work on her achievement :) I can finally hoard all my next gold for a potential Kel'Thuzad return to the shop and craft the rest of the Legendaries I want. As for mentioned achievements, I´m currently at 60% done, having all the Neutrals, along with Mages and Paladins, finished. With Mercenaries, I have all of them apart from Maiev Shadowsong, 25 of them maxed out. I´m doing the C´Thun event, currently at 6th task. Been a pretty good week HS wise I´d say :)

Strangely, Untapped Potential didn´t work for me either. Tried it twice in two games today, but the achievement didn´t proc. Didn´t play Wildheart Guff and made sure I picked only base 10 cost minions and spells, not any possibly discounted ones. This was in Casual Duels, but I don´t think it should be a problem.

Is there a way to multiply the number of locations available per game? Two locations per game works up about 25 games and I'd much rather shorten it.

Far as I know there's no reliable way to do it.

Beyond the obvious synergy with Lee Sin, I think a Yi/Pantheon deck could also work. Ionia has plenty of cheap single target buffs, and sticking multiple Fated units on the board to buff with cards like Wuju Style and Sonic Wave seems like a sound gameplan.

Good luck to everyone in the voting!

It's proably a good thing that supercharge is 4 mana now so that he can't hit on turn 3 with overwhelm spellshield and quickattack...

By the way: I am quite sure that yi is going to be the secondary champion for Lee Sin decks as both archetypes have very similar playstyles/requirements

Thanks Demonxz95!

I've just submitted a new idea in the final few hours — it might be a bit too powerful :D

I'll get in early for the next competition

You’ve got to expect that it’s a 4/3 Quick Attack for 3, since a Yi deck will have no trouble triggering Flow. If the opponent can remove it, the next one will be 6/3. That is worth the price, especially with the minor cost reduction benefit.

I'm not sure how consistently he will level up - that depends on support extra attacks or out-of-combat strikes - but if he does, he’ll be a real threat

Update just hit diamond.

I like his new makeover, the champion himself don't look that strong but if I learned anything from Irelia and Ahri it's that looks can be deceptive.

Well but neigther The Mourned nor Vastayan Disciple have scout so they can't attack twice per turn even if you can play them  twice per turn

Am I missing something or does the idea not add up?
