Super good with any spell trigger units (Starlit Seer, Nami, Ezreal, Lee Sin), but most of those aren't compatible with equipment decks. Also good for buffing Varus' bow. Also a mostly inferior Mystic Shot for Kayn and Varus decks (can't …

Crazy good in equipment decks. Rating: 5 stars

Synergizes with Varus' level-up condition, but tempo-wise this is pretty horrible, and the value she provides doesn't make up for that. Rating: 1 star

A bigger Crackshot Corsair for Equipment decks. You won't activate its ability as easily as Crackshot's, but the extra stats are a huge deal on a 1-drop. The main concern is that you're not playing Plunder here, so these Nexus …

Do equipment decks want this type of aggressively-statted Elusive unit? You'd think yes because it's a good unit to buff with equipment, but the problem is that most collectible equipment cards (the ones you can directly slot into your deck) …

Pretty good value in an equipment deck, despite the inherent randomness. Do Kayn and Varus want to play for that value though? I think not, but we'll see. Rating: 3 stars

Quick Attack + Overwhelm is very scary with high power values, but Varus seems fairly tame at level 1 and his level-up condition doesn't appear to be very easy to fulfill, you can only have 3 copies of Momentous Choice …

Equipment decks kind of bombed with the first Darkin Saga expansion, they were only competitive when paired up with Concurrent Timelines shenanigans. If we get viable equipment decks now and you can combine this with Heedless Resurrection, that'll be a …

Outside equipment decks, this is a vanilla 5|5 for 5 mana, which is unplayable. Viable equipment decks right now rely on Concurrent Timelines, which does not play well with this card. Sure, if you have a board full of powerful …

On equipment-heavy decks, this is like a Harsh Winds that costs 1 less mana but you can't choose its targets. Sounds like it could be alright... if you wanted to bring Harsh Winds on an equipment deck. Which you don't. …

I... guess Varus is gonna be in it? There's not much else to go on from the video. After the Bandle City animated videos, this trailer featuring a camera slowly zooming in and out of card art looks like they …

As soon as they confirmed in a previous post that champions would also get rotated, Vlad immediately came to mind. He simply doesn't work.

Also happy to see Irelia go. Azir decks with Lucian and other champions were a …

Very daring balance patch, with some big changes to Leona and Daybreak cards as well as Swain and Leviathan. The big buffs are to Iula, Swain, Sun Guardian and Sunburst. The nerfs are fine, but they have a Nami-sized hole …

Been wanting a Viego nerf for a long time now, the champion does too much for 5 mana. Daybreak buffs are welcome, it's a straightforward midrange deck and the game could use more of those. Timelines, Sermon and Hate Spike …

You really think he's strong? At 7 mana, you'd expect him to be a really big deal, but he seems a lot less impactful than Viego at 5 mana. 

You want to play this card early, but it's a colossal tempo loss to do so. Remember all those competitive decks that used Out of the Way? Yeah, me neither.

Score: 1/5

Compared to permanent buff spells like Take Heart or Blessing of Targon, this seems largely superior. The fact that it's an equipment card you can play again if the original wielder dies, can provide a lot of value, which is …

Jax looks weak and uninspired

Glad Riot decided to implement Jax as a bit of a comical character, he works better this way than if they tried to play it straight with him. I expect him to be a menace, whether he fights with a …

Can't muster any excitement for new cards when the meta is so un-fun, I don't feel like playing LoR at all right now
