In my quest to get ready for Eternal ladder I've been pre-scouting what the new set brings to existing deck interactions.

There is some insanely broken stuff here, infinite draw with tf, hyper burn aggro, and my favorite otk ramp.

What other amazing mysteries does this red headed step child format have to offer?

How will it develop long term?

And who will be the new pro players of this format?

All these secrets will be revealed in time and my God are things gonna get broken.

But I'd rather that than a standard season that gets solved in a day comprising of things that are obviously good because they survived rotation.

See you next time runeterra dragon out!

With recent patch, I just noticed Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate is buggy. Is it just me? Let me know in the comments. Here is what happened:

I played him, fortune wheel hit Curse of Flesh. Upon initiating first attack, game responded with "Too late, your turn is over." even though I had like a min remaining on my turn. I couldn't do anything until I restarted the game, which seemed to fix the issue. It happened on PC if I recall btw.

There's a bit of an ongoing trend you will see with the new Champs where their power lies in their base form more so than their level up condition.

First up is Sett - really strong as a natural upgrade on shen Fiora, because he has natural barrier built into his kit.

So its possible to challenge on the left, level shen on the attack, proc your barrier dudes to boost attack all at once, very cool.

Samara - obvious upgrade for pirate aggro, enabling you to say play a 1 drop, play Samara, and on 3 ping and play 2 plunder 1 drops which depending on your opponents deck is very hard to stop.

Jack - the problem with Jack isn't Jack, he's actually pretty decent as a card, but all of the coin support is actually in Ionia not bilgewater which makes Jack very difficult to run in a flexible way, like say ramp Jack which could be a thing otherwise.

I hate to say it but Jack should be a runeterra champion with the simple text that says I can run all coin cards, problem solved. But again you would run into rotation problems that way.

-----huge edit----

Sorry I lied jack Trundle is broken not only does ice pillar turbo level him, of you spend 12 mana on dance dance combo, it counts as 12 mana spent to instant level 10/10 jack.

Then you can play ice pillars after for 8 points of free attack.

Isn't eternal 10 times more interesting than standard where smart players can just break the game in half?

Remember if everything is broken nothing is thats how modern works in mtg

So before I showcased one of the best aggro decks in the eternal format.

Essentially hard core pirate aggro that makes the old versions look like joke when it comes to pure speed and responsiveness.

But how do you beat it?

Well its actually exceptionally easy I'll list the cards for each region:

Feijord: 3 of blighted ravine, 3 tavern keepers, 3 avorosan, and 3 catalyst (ramp) you're basically guaranteed any slower freijord deck will manage okay sometimes in the aggro matchup

Ionia: got its own 4 drop tavern keeper in the new set, you have your standard ryze tools essentially burst followers and dragonlings.

But I think low key the best Ionia tools are the simple ones people sleep on like palm and face smash. It pound for pound punishes development more than anything else.

P and z: really shouldn't struggle into aggro ever, it's the ping region it's all pings

Noxious: better at dealing with midrange threats but flock is still the best one mana card in the game

Bandle: goes wide better than any other region

Shadow: its again the cards that people don't use, 5 mana deal 2 to two followers is big value, or maybe it's just tripple vile tripple go hard.

The point is that eternal has a massive card pool with so many good cards to chose from and given the diversity of the format the relative power of "Bad cards" is much higher.

With each new set released the complexity of the core LOR experience (eternal) increases.

More variable, more interactions, more champions, old decks get better, new decks are born and everything in between.

But standard is just that, literally a handful of 4 decks that are top tier, will always be top tier, and there are no balance changes that can freshen up a rigid format because there aren't enough variables to work off of.

The reality is that standard is an experiment, an attempt to appease pro players doing there 3 deck rotation ladder grind, and a way of bringing back snap players who get scared by complexity.

But you see core LOR still exists, it didn't go anywhere, it didn't stop functioning, and it didn't dissappear.

And any attempts to turn a blind eye to the superior core format of the game will only end up hurting it in the long run.
