    I can't see why that's a bad thing. I don't want to be forced to play a certain deck or go home.

    Is there a way to filter by latest cards released?

    Maybe I should have explaiend the deck's goal, as it may look like a regular teemo deck.

     

    The three key cards are Ballistic Bot , Puffcap Peddler, and Ambush (And I guess Ignition )

    The purpose of Calculated Creations is to really make sure I get a Ballistic bot. And I don't mind having multiples. Practical Perfectionist serves a similar purpose, but it also helps me get the peddler, which I also don't mind having multiples of either. But there may be a better card for that, though I like having the effect come with a body I can block with. That's why I'm not running things like  Conchologist. I'm not just looking for pure CA. I'm really aiming to draw specific cards.

    The deck wins either with Peddler and Ava Achiever, or ambush + Ballistic bot, or a mix of both. Obviously, ballistic bot synergizes with the peddler.

     

    Death Ray - Mk 1 is a card I usually find sub-optimal, but it's there because it guarantees 3 activations of peddler, as well as triggering Ballistic bot. I considered mystic shot, but it has less synergy. Though there may be another card that would serve the same purpose which I missed. Pokey stick is absolutely a good card. But I would lose synergy.

     

    And yes, this isn't a deck I would put Caitlyn in. Though I think Fenrir is right about Thermo. I got a bit paranoid about my opponent slamming a big beatsticks lol. 3 is indeed too much. I could try replacing it with aftershock.

    It should be noted that I'm happy with Teemo either hitting twice, or hitting once leveled up. I don't care if he dies after, and I will happily use him as a spell.

    Minitee is tempting lol. But I'm not sure it's optimal :)

    My Elise deck only has Elise in it as Champion. Also, the most expensive card cots 6, and there's only two of it. Brood Awakening

    Elise doesn't do very well in late game decks. As "Fearsome" is an ability that gets worse as the game goes on. She wants a deck that deals a lot of damage early, and just mops up with something like Doombeast or Noxian Fervor.

     

     

    She's usually paired with Noxus for the latter Precious Pet , and House Spider,sometimes Arachnoid Sentry

    So this is the first deck that I've built that I'm satisfied with. But I'm wondering if it's optimized.

    Had Ava in, then removed her, then added her again, and I'm considering Hexcore Foundry

    I'm thinking Sticky Whump can probably go.

    The three key cards of the deck are Ballistic Bot , Puffcap Peddler, and Ambush (And I guess Ignition )

     

    (Edit)

    The purpose of Calculated Creations is to really make sure I get a Ballistic bot. And I don't mind having multiples.

    You can play them with tokens or shards. I don't find them expensive at all.

    I must admit. I don't understand Glorious evolution. What do you do with it?

    Bandle is good at card advantage. Nothing can be bad when you make it like that.

    Is it random?

     

    I've had games where I start against Sejuani at two life. She plays a one drop and wins.....

     

    Other games I started against Viktor at 6 life..but sometimes 12..

     

    What determines your life total?

    Even when you draw the right cards, it's underwhelming. You either count on luck, or you need to support it with something like predict. But getting supported still doesn't make it great.

     

    Or am I missing something?

    Azir Irelia really shouldn't have card advantage on you...I'm trying to think like even pirate aggro should at least trade 1 for 1 with them.

    They are a tempo deck, they throw out free units, but their hand will usually be down to 1 and at that point they either win or they dont

    Free stuff is card advantage. You're popping units without having to use a card for it.

     

    What is your definition of card advantage?

    If you consistently make good removal everytime you release new cards, then it won't be worth running anything but control decks.

    I've been staying away from landmark focused decks because it's unreliable and slow. If at least landmarks used spell mana.....

    Its because they haven't realized one simple truth...card advantage is for control decks.

     

    Card advantage is for decks that want to be efficient and win.

     

    Azir decks are not control. And the deck vomits card advantage.  Crawling Sensation is not a control card.

    Thx. I thought the box gave me a choice of three cards (just got one) so I kind of screwed up lol.

     

    As for the expedition look alike circles. I think it was tied to the last event.

    First, what are those red currency things?

     

    Also, what are hero levels and why should I care?

     

    What are those new boxes?

     

    Also what are those things that look like Expedition tokens?

     

    THx.

    Ah, that would be it. I completely finished Targon and Switched to another region.

    (I wish I could chose to only get bonus xp in the last parts of the bonus line)

     

    Thx.
