Getting to the highest tier of ranked play in ANY card game will always involve seeing a lot of meta decks and opponents who do not make mistakes. I'm not sure how you could reasonably expect otherwise.

Some streamers …

Invoke isn't all that random -- it's always a safe bet that it will give you something useful. The reason some people find it hard to play against is because you can't automatically read the person's hand at that point. …

Thanks for the report! There's a lot of food for thought, and several interesting new decks that had not yet come across my radar.

Also, though I cannot confirm this, it seemed like Omen Hawk did not work with Stalking Shadows. I played a Stalking Shadows expecting to see a buffed option, but the cards offered did not show …

It would be awesome if Kibler started uploading some LoR to the YouTubes!

Didn't Swim say [runecard]Sunburst[/runecard] was going to be garbage? Pretty sure he said it was garbage. Silverfuse is the only streamer I remember being pro-Sunburst.

Except not really!

You forgot to mention that you can get all four as a bundle for 570 coins (a 25% discount).

It's worth noting that these are the first card backs that can actually give away information about your deck if you tie the back to the deck's theme.

(Other backs only advertise regions and Champions, which are always known …

[runecard]The Undying[/runecard] I feel a little more confident rejecting: sure you get re-occurring swings, but he's just not enough pressure, especially for how much you have to pay for him. I've play a lot of that …

[runecard]Darius[/runecard] seems a bit random. Wouldn't you rather dip into P&Z for a nice [runecard]Sumpworks Map[/runecard] and [runecard]Counterfeit Copies[/runecard], or Ionia for [runecard]Ghost[/runecard] and [runecard]Deny[/runecard]?

I would consider adding [runecard]Darius[/runecard] in case the squirrel plan doesn't work out, and [runecard]Apprehend[/runecard] or [runecard]Shunpo[/runecard] to give the powered-up squirrel another attack. But maybe I'm just not believing hard enough.

Seems like every [runecard]Encroaching Shadows[/runecard] deck should have [runecard]Cursed Keeper[/runecard] and [runecard]The Undying[/runecard] in it, and I don't really understand the [runecard]Frenzied Skitterer[/runecard] and [runecard]Barkbeast[/runecard] picks.

It's strong, but you can only afford to damage your own board for so long. Also, the effect is counterable by most removal. It creates Fleeting spells, so you can't save them up for a massive Nexus strike.

So …

Auto-include when you use [runecard]Monkey Idol[/runecard], for sure. I'll wait patiently for someone to do an [runecard]Iceborn Legacy[/runecard] [runecard]Powder Monkey[/runecard] deck.

So you have to hold it in your hand forever, then get a bunch of your guys killed at once to summon a bunch of vanilla 3/3s? That does not sound like a winning game plan from any angle.

Oh, Ionia, why do you have to be the way you are?

I've seen a few people dreaming up Taric-Noxus ideas. This seems like it could fit there.

Not great in most of the same old Noxus junk we're used to, and that's a good thing.

This is a nutso finisher for any decent Darius deck. Rally in Noxus is terrifying.

Waaaay too much hassle for a so-so payoff. Meme tier for sure.
