![]() ![]() Our other followers can provide a lot of utility for us as well. I’ve included two copies of Nyandroid to further capitalize on our created cards interaction with Augment, to create a potentially enormous Elusive unit. He will also grow very quickly with Augment as we play out our World Runes, and can threaten to end the game on his own! Ryze gives us access to a ton of cards that create cards, making it easy to level Viktor throughout the game and creating a ton of value for us with him on the board. I think this deck has legs, but it remains to be seen if it can overcome the Nami nerf. This cat has the potential to quickly grow out of control with or without our value engines on board and will come down with four Health, making it a pain for our opponent to remove. This would normally be an automatic three-of for me, but the variability in the high-cost spell list with Ryze makes it less attractive.Ĭalculated Creations gives us access to Nyandroid, which absolutely loves all of the created cards we’ll be slinging. Half of our spells make more spells, and our units either make or draw spells for us, making an endless pile of value and helping ensure we don’t run out of gas.įlash of Brilliance is a functionally free spell that adds three to our Nami level-up progress, triggers Shelly, and creates a potentially useful spell in hand. In this deck we are completely disregarding the Ryze game plan in favor of playing a plethora of cheap spells to pump up our board with Nami and Fleet Admiral Shelly. ![]() I think that having access to the immense spell book Ryze is packing may be enough to bring them back. Nami and Fleet Admiral Shelly were a very strong pairing for a long time, but nerfs to both Nami and Lee Sin last season left them searching for a new home. With that out of the way, on to the decks! These are hot takes on a brand new champion with a unique card list on a patch that I do not have access to, and I cannot be held responsible for any LP losses incurred as a result (I will absolutely take credit if anyone takes one of these to Masters, though!). Now, for a HUGE disclaimer: since the patch is not out, I have not tested these decks yet. The World Runes are going to take up the majority of our board so that we can maximize Ryze 's value, meaning we don’t have much use for followers in our deck outside of stalling, until we find Ryze and get the rocks rolling.įurther reinforcing Ryze ’s hate for followers, his Champion Spell Ryze's Realm Warp draws us three cards and immediately tosses any followers that we find! This gives us another reason to tilt our deck-building towards being spell-heavy to avoid losing value on our draws. ![]() I narrowed the list of spells I used in my decks to about 28 that seemed generally useful, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t fringe cases that would make sense for other spells to be used (except for Bloodbait, unless you’re playing Ryze Rek'Sai ).This enormous list of spells also significantly dilutes our Region pools for cards like Conchologist and I have excluded Conch from my decks as a result.Īnother wrinkle is that Ryze adds an alternate win condition to the game, similar to The Bandle Tree or Fiora, which allows you to claim victory without needing to take the enemy Nexus to 0.Īs I mentioned before, Ryze (Level 2) will activate all of the World Runes we have on board every time that he attacks. You’ll notice that most of these spells are… bad. This isn’t to say his card pool is small, though, as his Origin allows you to add any non-targeted Focus or Burst speed spell in the game to your deck – this includes every Tellstone, an insane amount of draw, and a bunch of cards we all forgot existed, adding up to 101 different spells that you can add to a Ryze deck just based on his Origin.Īt the end of this article ( click here to jump there directly) I’ve included a list with my initial impression of the relative value of each card. To start with, Ryze has zero followers in his card set. I knew that I needed to build for Ryze as soon as he was revealed, but big blue is a bit complex, to say the least. ![]()
