Quote From DoubleSummon

Not good enough to see play even if it didn't had a condition it was only ok.

We have a 5 mana 4/5 that also has regen.

Ugg; I was thinking this was decent until you brought up that [runecard]Scarmaiden Reaver[/runecard] comparison. While I maintain that Scarmaiden is criminally underrated, I …

[runecardimg]Trundle[/runecardimg]

I feel like Trundle is just a really bad champ. He has good base stats and that's about it. He takes up a slot that you could put in an actual good champ, his mechanic that the deck has to be built around is just God awful, his champ card is [runecard]Trundle's Icequake …

I also believe Nocturne will be the first champion added to Runeterra that is not currently assigned to a specific region in Runeterra (at least according to universe.leagueoflegends.com).

You are correct. I predict that Shadow Isles will become the defacto LoR region for all regionless supernatural/"demonic" champions--namely, Shaco, Aatrox, Evelynn, Fiddlesticks, Kindred; …

There goes my Zombie Ashe deck...

In all seriousness: I don't think this card will get much play--there are just too many matchups where it does little to nothing. Usually for a tech card like this to work, it either needs some minimal payout (e.g. "AND summon a 1/1"), an alternate function (e.g., "OR stun an attacking enemy unit"), …

Quote From Vandaren

So this is basically like combo from HS right, seems cool.

Aww; now you've ruined the aesthetic for me. :-(

This card is nuts! Yes obviously the ephemeral tag is a big draw back, but giving everything +2 attack is huge. Look mostly for a lot of aggro decks that just threaten so much damage that you have to block; however I expect there will be some cheeky combo decks as well ([runecard]Anivia[/runecard], [runecard]Mist's Call[/runecard], [runecard]The Undying[/runecard]/[runecard]Cursed Keeper[/runecard], [runecard]Death Mark[/runecard])

So it is 4 Taragon champions then? Thought it would be 2 regions per 2 months.

I am glad we are seeing nocturne earlier but Taragon is gonna come out weaker. 

Indeed--very interesting, and not at all what I was expecting. (That seems to be a common theme in these reveals...)

I can't imagine any world in which this card doesn't see its way into at least 1 competitive deck.

The obvious combo is [runecard]Tryndamere[/runecard]: ramp your early game until you're enlightened, then heal your nexus for 8 and play a free Tyrn all for 7 mana. [runecard]She Who Wanders[/runecard] would be another hot target. Heck, I could even see …

Honestly, this card looks fairly meh. I predict it will get some play, but not in any of the "top tier" meta decks. It does have some potential to stall out aggressive decks, especially when combo'ed with [runecard]Gem[/runecard]s, [runecard]Resplendent Stellacorn[/runecard], and all these new support buffs, but nexus health is a resource and for the most part you'd rather sacrifice …

Trundle is interesting, and not at all what I was expecting. In many ways, his L2 + [runecard]Ice Pillar[/runecard] resembles L1 [runecard]Sejuani[/runecard]: 6+/7 with overwhelm and regeneration, and your opponent's strongest unit is vulnerable. Obviously there is much more setup involved to get a L2 Trundle + Ice Pillar than L1 Sejuani, but at the same time the latter is …

This card just seems SUPER weak. It's basically [runecard]Avalanche[/runecard] + 1 damage for double the mana cost--and Avalanche is already one of the top 5 worst spells from the base set. I suppose the intended usage is a regen (troll) heavy deck: all your units will recover the 3 damage, and if any opposing units survive they have -3 attack …

Quote From DoubleSummon

This card is weird, it's like a frostbite but not as good, but then it's like potion of iron but gives you a way to defend 2 targets maybe?

it's +1 mana on potion of iron to get a better trade.. is it worth? maybe..

 

I think VaBeZ's post

I'm sorry, but this card is hot garbage.

Compare with [runecard]Entreat[/runecard], which is 1 mana cheaper for a guaranteed tutor of what is likely the most critical cards in any deck--and nobody plays that. Then here's [runecard]Call of the Wild[/runecard], which is

  1. Literally only playable in either a Yeti, Poro, or Elnuk deck
  2. Implicitly depends on …

Quote From PeresitoChill

Underwhelming cards if you ask me.

Maybe Trundle will be 8 mana so this make sense, rn it doesn't

You have to try to consider what the full deck might look like, not just relative to the current meta.

Specifically: I could see these cards causing a resurgence of [runecard]Warmother's …

Quote From FortyDust

I really, really hope this is not leading up to a Trundle reveal. We already have 1 non-Targon champ out of 7 total for this expansion.

I will be very, very sad if we only get 5 champs from Targon.

As for these cards ... they are probably fine and decently designed, but …

As an aside: even if it did work the way you hoped it did, I don't think it would actually produce as many Call of the Mountains cards as you might expect. Just look at how few Rising Tides cards you are getting each week: that's a 111 non-champions out of (111 + 294 = 405) = ~27% chance. Aug …

Note that it's Targon, not Ionia.

Works great with the support cards from both regions, though, and perfect vanilla stats to begin with.

Good catch.

It's a big peculiar that the decided to announce it along with Lulu--buffing it with either Pix or Lulu is nice but hardly game-winning. Honestly, …

Quote From Zolgear

Can anyone explain why Whimsy! has "Silence" attached to it? Isn't transforming a follower into a 1/1 Squirrel with no text or keywords already silencing it in a way?

If the Silence effect remained permanent after the round ended and the follower transformed back, then it would make sense. Transform and Silence just seems …

It's an interesting card. First off: Lulu will be arguably the easiest champion to level up, but her on-board stats are fairly weak. I think she trades unfavorably with every other 3-drop in the game, so do you play her and try to preserve her or try to wait until after she's leveled? I think the former, because her support …

That Fae Guide is REALLY good! Much better than calling it a [runecard]Ghost[/runecard] on a stick, since it grants Elusive for the same cost!
