In general riot did little to nothing in order to buff noxian builds...

I guess they want aggressive decks getting back more to bilgewater and also tune down aggro enough so that p & z can have it's time in the sun.

As long as noxus will rise again in the next expansion I can live with that …

it basically is a 6 mana spell with extra delay. It's really powerful for a 6 mana spell and I could see this being a 2 of in some predict decks

Lvl 1 [runecard]Ekko [/runecard] is somewhat like a [runecard]zoe [/runecard] he takes a great risk as he attacks, has low health and with his 4 cost you better have him already leveled up as you play him. 

Lvl 2 [runecard]Ekko [/runecard] has is crazy high value but value alone doesn't win games... hmm hard to say if he actually …

These changes all seem very appropriate.

Let's see if they get their job done 

Edit: wait... they did not consider buffing [runecard]malphite[/runecard]?! I guess Riot wants to keep some meme cards of the game "intact"

The [runecard]Glorious Evolution[/runecard] [runecard]Viktor[/runecard] and [runecard]Arise![/runecard] finish is certainly not that viable but... it has style so it's totaly worth it if you don't want to maximize your winrate.

But: it's not that commital of a backup wincondition since it consists of 3 cards that you can all run as a 1/2 of in a predict archetype 

It was quite certain from his natural synergies that [runecard]zilean[/runecard] would end up in P&Z. Sure he also can work with [runecard]go hard[/runecard] but cost 2 when drawn mechanic + [runecard]insightful investigator [/runecard] + the plenty 2 mana cards from [runecard]zilean[/runecard] worked well together from the first second. The is no way that predict investigator won't be viable I think...

I find it strange that you name all the cards from today's reveal exept the most competitive of them [runecard]time trick[/runecard] that has good chances to become a P&Z staple.

Sure anti aggro tools are nice but anti aggro isn't the only quality a deck has to have. 

[runecard]Zilean[/runecard] has now more than enough anti aggro tools but …

I know this might be a bolt call but I think [runecard]pyke[/runecard] won't be that powerful of a champion because he is so reliant on strike effects while having no protection himself, being in a region with no unit protection tools. 

Like what does [runecard]pyke[/runecard] do against frostbite, spot removal barrier and the likes of that...

I have …

sacrfizing actual viability for memes? Seems worth it!

It is [runecard]statikk shock[/runecard] for 2 less mana and with 2 less carddraw attached to it... looks okay for discard aggro but nowhere else

Now this feels like a way less practical [runecard]jury-rig[/runecard] for predict... it coulds see some play but 1 attack keeps being irrelevant often enough

now THIS is a card that you should watch out for. In mtg this effect has been a staple in every single meta of standard and since Runeterra has a lower powerlevel I think this card goes straight into every p&z list

I was wondering if I should put [runecard]counterfeit copies[/runecard] into my [runecard]glorious evolution[/runecard] list... now I know better :)

I am very certain the issue with elites is not the amount of support they get but their bland identity and lack of mechanics.

This makes them easy to understand and playable at a basic level but in the end we deal with a bunch of semi vanilla units that do not do more than buff each other in …

I don't know if that is actually a good card. It is a well statted unit but shuffleing elnuks into one's deck only works if you run the whole elnuk package and I don't consider that viable.

Outside of an elnuk deck this is a 3/4 with downside and in an enuk deck it is a 3/4 with sligh …

Seriously WTF is this? I know it's burst speed but 5 mana to summon two 2/2? What use does this have? push for 4 damage? Give two chump blockers? [runecard]Dunekeeper[/runecard] can do both and he only cost 1 mana.

But he can't do so on burst speed ;) I am quite sure …

Now you doubt but soon you will be a believer, the glorious evolution will come and with it the greatness that (non tlc) combo players ever have been waiting for. 

Do I think of it as actually being top tier? Well i can't say right now I got to tinker a little around it but I have no doubt …

With [runecard]Viktor[/runecard] being leveled this card means that every card costs 2 less and I could see some sick combo emerging from that. It is still 10 mana to pay but... it has style hasn't it?

This card + [runecard]stand united[/runecard] seems really dangerous and I think that a new [runecard]shen[/runecard] archetype might want to play this dude 

He is not bad but not really good eighter I could see him hitting some demacia lists but not being top tier
