New Piltover & Zaun Spell - Poro Cannon

I actually really the synergy with L2 [runecard]Nocturne[/runecard]: you can play the spell at any time for a free nightfall activation, then after he levels drop the 2x [runecard]Daring Poro[/runecard] such that all allies have fearsome while all enemies have …

New Freljord Card - Faces of the Old Ones
Quote From FortyDust

So maybe this card isn't the Dumpster fire it appears to be. It's half the cost of [runecard]Wyrding Stones[/runecard], and it can block a spider or two at the very least, or absorb a …

Diana is the Newest Legends of Runeterra Targon Champion Coming in Call of the Mountain (5 New Cards Revealed!)
Quote From linkblade91

Hmm...we really only have one more space for a champion, don't we. I thought we had two left, for ASol and Soraka together, but I miscounted (stupid [runecard]Nocturne[/runecard]). It's got to be Soraka, though...right? They've …

Warmother's Trundle

I know exactly what you mean. It's such a bizarre archetype to theorycraft for--it feels really wrong to completely ignore early game board, but maybe if you can ramp fast enough and heal back up with [runecard]Revitalizing Roar[/runecard] it all …

Nightfall Keyword Reveals Continue for Call of the Mountain - 3 New Targon Cards Revealed

Is it just me, or are these sooo much better than the SI nightfall cards?

2 mana 2/3 elusive and 3 mana 5/3 overwhelm versus 1 mana 2/1 with a temporary +2/+0 ([runecard]Stygian Onlooker[/runecard]) and 3 mana 3/2 with …

Spin, Spin, Spin, You Win! A Guide to Runeterra's Casino Twisted Fate - Deck Spotlight
Quote From Nevin

I’m curious about the focus on budget decks here. Does that really matter in Runeterra? I’ve been almost entirely a F2P player (other than the new player bundle), and I’ve had no trouble crafting a …

Warmother's Trundle

I know it feels wrong to drop [runecard]Anivia[/runecard], but I think at the end of the day you either commit to running 3x [runecard]Trundle[/runecard] + 3x [runecard]Tryndamere[/runecard] or you keep the historic 3x [runecard]Anivia[/runecard] + some combination of Tryn and …

New Targon Spell - Sunburst

6 mana at slow speed sounds like a deal breaker to me--it calls to mind [runecard]Trueshot Barrage[/runecard] and [runecard]Winter's Breath[/runecard], both of which sound incredible on paper but in practice no one runs them due to how awkward they are …

Leona is the Newest Legends of Runeterra Targon Champion Coming in Call of the Mountain (5 New Cards Revealed!)

It's interesting to me that so many of the new champions ([runecard]Leona[/runecard], L2 [runecard]Nocturne[/runecard], and to a lesser extent [runecard]Taric[/runecard]) really want you to develop rather than open-attack. I wonder how the new meta will develop since so many popular …

New Targon Card - Rahvun, Daylight's Spear

This is a slightly above average card. 5 mana for a 5/5 + random card is usually the type of card you try to squeeze in but ultimately cut--compare it with [runecard]Avarosan Hearthguard[/runecard], who provides so much more value and …

Hot Take - Trundle Is Amazing But Not Why You Think

Perhaps. Your logic does remind me a bit of [runecard]Sejuani[/runecard], where when Rising Tides first launched people were trying (unsuccessfully) to jam her into decks like [runecard]Teemo[/runecard] puffcaps and [runecard]Swain[/runecard] crimson and she was widely regarded as the worst new …

Daybreak is a New Keyword Coming in Call of the Mountain - 4 New Targon Cards Revealed
Quote From FrostyFeet

Doesn't Daybreak feel a bit too easy to trigger?

That's the clever thing--they are extremely easy to trigger; they are less easy to get value from. Notice that [runecard]Solari Soldier[/runecard], [runecard]Solari Shieldbearer[/runecard], …

Daybreak is a New Keyword Coming in Call of the Mountain - 4 New Targon Cards Revealed
Quote From Neoguli

Hmn... is Rahvun's text just a spice like [card]Power Overwhelming[/card] or does it indicate that the added card can trigger Daybreak despite playing other cards earlier in the turn?

I think it …

New Shadow Isles Spell - Unspeakable Horror
Quote From FortyDust

Often better than [runecard]Vile Feast[/runecard] unless you care about spiders. Nightfall units aren't great, but a card's a card. (And if you have the mana to play the unit immediately, you've already got the trigger.)

New Shadow Isles Spell - Risen Mists

"Mistwraiths are great! Fearsome isn't that OP."

A FEW WEEKS LATER: "Uh, guys, I think we have to nerf Mistwraiths."

Does Riot really have a plan for this game?
Quote From jagu

You mentioned in your first point that you dropped HS completely yet included Scholomance Academy in one of your 'examples'. 

It's unfortunate, but I agree that Ashes of Outland's Demon Hunter meta was dominating …

New Shadow Isles Champion - Nocturne

Note that the text is "attacked with 5+ Nightfall allies", not activating Nightfall.

I'm not 100% confident I understand exactly nightfall works. If you watch the video from Riot's twitter, it shows little moon icons on units implying that …

New Shadow Isles Spell - Stalking Shadows

Normally 2 mana for drawing a single card won't be that good, but

  • You have some flexibility in which card you chose
  • You get the copy
  • It's burst speed, so it will work well with nightfall …

Does Riot really have a plan for this game?

I'll try to respond by enumerating what I understand to be your points and responding to them one at a time:

1.) Does Riot really have a plan for this game?

I'm not sure if you meant this …

I think this is the best from the bunch revealed today, draining 2 with a 2 mana body and potential nightfall synergies (nocturne is gonna have either a similar effect …
