High Level Analysis - Nifty Aggro
Just like a "pro player" we are going to go through every inclusion in my deck and why it's top tier:
3 all out - if people remember shurima had a 2+1 burst and it was top tier and demanded a nerf, well here we are good card
3 pigeons - another 3/3 for one that is sometimes a 4/4
3 saboteur - I've come around on this card since vile feast and pokey aren't the auto includes they used to be, it's very good for what this deck is trying to do - board presence plus burn
3 Rearguard - required a nerf at one point it was so good, staple aggro card
3 Butchers - another staple card 3/3 for 1
3 Make It rain - on its own in a vacuum it's okay, but really shines as a set up for pirotte plus butcher
3 pirouette - might be op it's so good, imagine if guile and parlay had a baby and you're halfway there
3 Samara- what doesn't she do, she burns, she Diana's, she has a good champ spell, and ocassionally you level her
3 mf - she complicates board math and pushes a bit of burn, and has a good champ spell but probably the most "fair" card in the deck
3 noxian furver - complicates board and face math while burning. You can probably measure winrate by number drawn
3 zap sprayfin - basically elusive tf as far as this deck is concerned
3 eyes of nox - they nerfed it to focus speed and that effects aggro not at all because you'll always use it preemptively
3 decimate - they nerfed it and still doesn't matter when you consider how low thr mana curve is of this new and improved pirate aggro shell
So there is the S tier shell, a lot of things have got cut, demolitionist felt too slow, I knew that I didn't need any more go wide tools, I learned the power of all out, but largely the strategy stays the same
Spam high value one drops, wait for opponents response, leverage make it rain and piroette to win on tempo, push as much dmg as possible, then burn them out.
1 tech - I'm gonna use farron because having 15 one cost cards can deplete your resources fast and this gives the deck unexpected staying power.
All in all it's very hard to beat without a hard counter. Like yes you can run Elise, but then have fun beating all the solitaire decks out there.
Nora probably faires a little better but you'd be surprised, and they can't statistically hit Nora on curve every game even if it seems like it
You can spam healing but I guarantee I win that matchup everytime, so yes its basically hard counter or nothing, and then your hard counter loses to everything else.
Nifty aggro is the eternal meta now, and even pro players will have no choice but to admit it's impact. I'm basically the new Swim now sorry.

Yeah like you can build a do nothing garbage and just bate an avalanche but once again, how do you win against every other deck in the game?
So once again hard counter or nothing right?
This is what makes a tier list its not harr harr this deck is literally unbeatable
It's har har you have to bend so fucking far over backwards to counter this that your climbing chance on ladder is exactly naught point nothing on zero.
I'll go back to the demo variant to redevalue pings with blade dancer lol have fuuuuuun
Yep ya got fucked so we have two variants one hyper aggro and original og
One has an insane winrate and one counters the counters
You couldn't win against me with a deck full of avalanches, shadow removal, frostbite and healing in anivia
Get top tiered rofl
Sorry meatbox you got top tiered I'm gonna call out every single player I mangle just to drive home the point
Sorry iced tea you got top tiered
Sorry no name mono shurima.playet who wasn't even worth remembering you got top tiered
Sorry azir irelia player top tiered I can do this all day
Sorry bad thralls player top tiered
Sorry bad deep player I teched against pings top tiered
Sorry zillian memer you got top tiered
Oh you bet your sweet bippy that fiora player got top tiered
Yeah so my top tier goes 50/50 with ryze the other top tier.
Sounds about right rofl
Case closed
Also auto draw 3 landmarks is high variance, you'll have to concede the rest of the games putting my decks win percentage higher
You hard teched tripple frost bite into healing board clear and still got top tiered, almost like you're bad or something?
Also that pile of garbage would t last 10 seconds on ladder nevermind with me thr player you literally sniped and couldn't beat
Wow a big pile of crap with a top curve heal champ got top tiered almost like you're bad or something?
In case we are counting I'm 10 and 1 with Ryse being the only winner you guys give up yet?
Wow another pile of crap rofl
You know you have to actually climb right?
Let's see you run this jank at the end of the month in bronze tier enjoy
Sorry did your top tier Annie ezreal list get top tiered by me?
Qq
It's almost like I've selectively run this deck into every top tier matchup and already top tiered it.
You want to pull out some jayce next?
Been there done that
Oops there goes gravity boy
Mom's spaghetti
Concede faster after I board clear u in an aggro shell
Okay we are done here you all got top tiered every single one of you
S tier confirmed
Don't just run inferior versions of my deck I've said this before.
It's tested I just went like 90% against an entire lobby of top tier snipers
What else do you want?
