Nope I told you, you can't just run p and z garbage with ping spam.

I swap once and youre done.

You have to build an actual deck

You know with cards and a strategy that is flexible into other matchups

Wincons etc

You still don't get it do you?

You cant just stun and attack with Zed, you have no burn therefore you have no wincon

Any half smart player will just face tank and roll you.

Plz if you don't know how to play or build I will teach you

I built the most aggressive deck in LOR history and you want to lurk into me?

Get wrecked play something you built yourself

Why do you think I run six pings? 

It's called interaction even in aggro my decks can do something about 5 iq plays

And you know what funny this **** isn't even optimized yet, once historic ladder comes out and pro players steal my deck without crediting me they will swap like 2 ratios and be like S tier thanks for all the credit.

But no this time historic aggro is pretty Nifty

Yeah you have no idea how to do it do you?

If you can't just jam board in your control deck you can't win?

But what happens when the aggro decks become so powerful they outstrip board presence?

It's called spells, one avalanche, one face smash, one anything that isn't just 1 drop ping ping ping.

You see it isnt that eternal isn't a competitive format, it's highly competitive.

It's just that your style of competitive play has no place in eternal.

Learn, grow, evolve.

I feel like maybe we need to make this even simpler. Like how to build a champion in eternal. It would take me too long to go through all of them but let's do a few case studies:

1. Viktor - so Viktor is  a lot more than a high roll body which is how everyone plays him. Come on baby life steal plus elusive no whammy no whammy.

People tend to forget that viktor has a massive number of synergy points and useful wincons.

You could try to atrocity viktor, you could try to run his support pkg, you could try to forcibly give him a keywords, you could a million things other than, play viktor...do nothing...cross fingers

Akshan - often considered one of the best designed champions in lor he's essentially been relegated to a glave strike stick. But he's also a landmark card, or a draw engine or a million things other than a 2 mana quick attackers for weapon equip

Asol - my bread and butter often considered one of the worst Champs in the game but has a unique combo level up that pairs well with ramp.

Poppy - has an entire tribe built around her for God sakes in yordles

Tahm kench - while yes you can run otk landmark in a heal shell and I do do that, Mogwai popularized Aram Tahm.

Tf - goes in absolutely everything

Like the point is I see soo many people fall in the trap of, hard mulligan for 1 drop, ping ping ping, then win game?

Like no unless you are literally aggro don't mull for a 1 drop, hell don't even run 1 drops, mull for answers and then wincons.

Learn to build, learn to leverage the strengths of champions, and then learn to counter, in that order.

Then maybe you can get good at the game.

By now I think everyone is pretty sick of me rolling over the LOR community.with my S tier aggro deck in eternal.

So the question remains how do you build a consistent ladder counter.

Well nifty has you covered because I spent most of my time in LOR being anti-meta before I became the new.meta.

 Step 1 counter the deck you want consistently, this one is obvious

Step 2 be able to actually win against every other deck, because unless the play rate is literally 20% you will still face other players the majority of the time

Step 3 don't jank, it might seek funny to play duplicate crystal with kittans to counter aggro but what happens when you wiff?

Follow these 3 steps and you will defeat meta Nifty just as easily as Nifty used to defeat the meta.

And also I'm sorry like Swim I never wanted my decks to be as good as they are.

They are just good...and they've only gotten better with time

12 game winstreaks aside and massive solo casual climbing potential.

People sometimes forget that I'm not actually an aggro player, or at least I don't identify as one.

I actually prefer synergy decks and I can absolutely destroy on midrange and ramp.

So come at me with your treasured trash, feel free to identify as garbage.

I'll identify as a world ending dragon 😋

And if you ever want to play for reals, yes 12 game winstreaks, and masters level deck building without tier lists will make your life fairly difficult.

Yeeeep, gonna say this very slowly for you.

I dont care if you high roll echo Jinx

Or your try to cheat out a free Nasus with a landmark.

Ssssssssss Tiiiiiieerrrr

Nifty wins

Now give up and accept this deck is amazing.

I'm 10 for 10 with this random sheet you keep throwing at me

Want to go 20 for 20?

Also part of it is skill gap the Echo Jinx player might of had me if he took the free block with echo that 1 dmg actually mattered and that free card would have been huge 4 u.

Good decks can't fix stupid

So maybe the opposite is true and when a good player plays a good deck it becomes insane either way good list long story short

Goddamm you even gonna bring out Mogwais old ping burn list to try and stop me?

That deck only worked when the poison dart value generator spawn on summon instead of attack.

Like I said S tier, I can kick your guys *** up and down the internet from here and into yesterday.

But you can't beat the king and his new S tier eternal deck sorry.

Rank one, pro player, masters player, I don't care you're in Niftys house and you lose.

Final post mortem on the deck and why it performs so well in 90% of matchups.

I can't overstate it's ability to devalue certain cards and lines of play.

Shadow isles - vile feast is a dead card

Bandle city - pokey stick is a dead card

Ionia - stuns and recalls are too expensive

Bilgewater - make it rain is a dead card

Freijord - you're putting them on specifically avalanche and blighted ravine

P and z - needs to be high tempo like urchin, plus free mana, plus mystic shot

Shurima - can only body block and you have pirouette for big value

Targon - heal spam ain't great because of all our draw. For every heal we have burn and board presence

Noxious - ironically noxious control get value removing larger midrange threats

Demacia - what are you gonna do single combat a one drop? Ooooh scary

So if there are only two regions that can effectively counter a particular strategy that is not only a good deck, it's a top tier deck.

You dont need to be a genius player with 5 heads to do the math on that.

Dude you guys can "try" as hard as you want and I can wiff on an agressive hand and it doesn't matter.

I'm basically the new Swim I just win get over it.

And isn't that the true mark of an S tier deck that I can draw a bottom 10% hand and still wipe the floor with a top 10% hand?

So that was 5/5 in 10 minutes after getting past the jank nonsense and waking up a little bit. Was it good for you as it was for me?

Suck my 👑

I can't even play 1 card without winning a game if that ain't an S tier deck piloted by an S tier eternal player I don't know what is?

I see there are some fans who have been steam rolled by my deck already. Here's the list since out of cards stopped updating runeterra:

CIDACBQGDYAQMAZJAIAQGAQMAIBAGAYEAMDQGBYIBYCAEBQWEYWTUAABAEAQGKA

3 - rearguards

3 - pigeons

3 - edges

3 -  butchers

1 - saboteur

3 - demos

3 - rains

3 - pirouette

3 - Samara 

3 - MF

3- fervor

3 - sprayfin

3 - eyes

3 - decimates

The only pirate aggro card we arent running is Mirai warden, because we want to devalue pings as much as possible therefore all our one drops have two toughness meaning they have to be dealt with 1 for 1 usually at a mana deficate

-------------

Now this deck is as good if not better than legacy Annie Jhin and you will start to see it pop up everywhere once ladder becomes a thing in Eternal and people actually start trying.

If they don't start using it that's okay by me I'll fly to masters casually with a little weekend play, when I'm not working.

Just like I did last season, as the card pool gets bigger I get stronger, sadly also the opposite is true.

Ps. Standard suuuuuuuucks

So eventually eternal ladder will be coming and this format will actually become important to pro players again.

But as someone who essentially already has had a 90% winrate in this format for the last two months I thought I'd talk about one of the best decks available.

Pirate aggro, while deck has never been bad it has been overshadowed by Annie Jhin statistically.

That all changed with the release of pirouette, Samara, and the new fearsome 1 drop.

I've played this exact matchup and my deck was faster, and most of it is thanks to the flexibility of the new champion being both a burn piece and a removal option.

she is insanely good, even offering the ability to ping block ping on the defensive.

So yes Nifty pirate aggro is format definer and if I see any eternal tier lists without its because your judgement is clouded with disliking me as opposed to objectively weighing the strength of the deck.

Yeah they wouldn't have a runeterra open in eternal before competitive ladder in eternal is released.

It wouldn't make sense.

Now they should have released eternal ladder two months ago when rotation happened but whatever.

I just keep my crown 👑 

Elusive spam is for losers and you still lost.

Cuz you built it wrong.

Good try tho

I can teach you to build it better

And I'm not just being reductive you're supposed to run sparkle fly with bard and the new empowered elusives everyone knows that

Or maybe I'm giving everyone too much credit

Don't emote spam me  okay cuz you're bad, learn to play the goddamm game.

It's not hard I can teach u

Okay I'm just getting bored now, I literally can't be beaten with poppy yordles for God sake.

Like what you want me to move onto poros?

I already did that and I won a ton.

So how do you beat me?

The king of eternal?

Let's talk about tech cards.

Soul harvest - yes its just a slow speed culling strike, but it's in shadow isles and that matters.

Eradication - low key one of the best anti aggro cards recently printed.

Vile feast - there's a reason this got rotated its nuts

Tavern keeper - the best frijord 3 drop

Blighted ravine- still the best frijord removal

Again good cards are in large supply in eternal and for some reason ya'll keep brewing like chumps.

Has standard scrambled your brains cuz ya'll playing bronze tier right now.

I'm literally just playing cards and swinging but your decks are so poorly built ans fragile that they can't do anything about it.

Pssst troll chant it exists in eternal learn your cards!

It's okay it's called standard brain where playing the biggest creatures somehow matters 

Well guess what eternal is agile and flexible, add your godamn burst spells you chump.

Everyone's forgotten how to play Nifty Eternal again.

I keep drilling into everyone's heads wincons wincons.wincons.

Synergy, synergy, synergy and all I see when I come back from a small break is do nothing garbage.

And not the good kind of do nothing garbage like Nora.

But press F to concede garbage that literally shouldn't be built in the first place.

I know it's still a long time till Eternal ladder but I expect more from all of you.

Cuz Nifty is forever, he comes back same list he's been playing for what 6 months now, and you can't beat yordles!

Rofl omg you guys are so bad.

Yeeeep, new golden rule if you can't beat meme tribal decks its time to learn how to deck build...sorry but thats how it is.

And you guys call yourself good players or something.

You see Nifty grow up on the hard streets of brew Town. No deck trackers, no tier lists, no help, no getting carried by better players or stats analytics. Just me, me, and more me.

Thats why I'm the king of Eternal

Basically the stuff I said would be good.

Nora, Ryze, Ramp, high synergy brews.

Standard is all about one thing and one thing only, playing high value followers and open attacking.

Eternal is all about one thing and one thing only.

Wincons, wincons, wincons.

If I'm pirate aggro better believe I'm developing 3  one drops on turn 3 instead of open attacking.

If you're Ryze main deck that healing potion you crazy stud you.

If you're ramp, then create that 18 power overwhelm jack for the lolz you have infinite mana.

Like frankly I don't care what you play in Eternal as long as you prioritize synergy, and wincons.

Leave the value garbage for standard, where there are no good decks or wincons and you can main 3 copies of chunker bandle gunner and thats actually good.
