Good morning everyone! Still don’t know what to play in the WCQ open? Don’t worry, your boy Yangzera’s got you covered. After a whole week of preparation and thought put in the meta, I’ve gathered a bunch of lineups that you can copy paste or take ideas from going into your WCQ run. Let’s get to the lists, shall we?

This lineup has been floating around as the “three good decks” lineup of the season. Your ban priority is Jarvan IV
Shen
at first, Gnar
Darius
second and Janna
Nilah
third.
Janna Seraphine Core
This looks like a very good lineup core to be at since those decks will just win games from being straight up good. I would recommend playing at the very least one of these 2 decks in your lineup.

was what GoofBall 9-0’d with on apac as the third deck to this lineup. Shen Jarvan IV can be played if you don’t want to ban shen and feel confident on the mirror instead and The Poro King
is a good alternative if you want to bully Seraphine players.

This is Sorry’s lineup and I think it’s a pretty good take in an agressive style of lineup, looking to beat decks that can’t deal with aggression and/or evasion. Rounding out the lineup, Janna Nilah is there.

This is my take on a midrange lineup that looks to beat Janna Nilah. Although I don’t recommend the “beat the best deck in the format” approach to a lineup, I respect those who want to go for it.

If you plan on playing triple aggro, I still suggest one of your decks is Nilah Janna as it is a pretty aggressive deck at times.
Definitely a Midrange Lineup

Play at your own risk. I still recommend Janna Nilah as the third deck because the deck is much more controlly with Wizened Helmsman
.
Definitely not Bait Decks

Only play these decks in your lineup over something else that was listed before if you feel like scraping the bottom of the barrel for matchup tables. These decks aren’t great, but can pull their own weight if you know what you’re doing and hit the good matchups.

I’m going for three good decks this time, looking to just brute force my way into the top cut.
