Man + Cat = Strong, or in this case, Bird + Cat even. Looks like the 'anti-aggro' adaptation of a few Fleetfeather Trackers is catching on. Interesting to see and only time will tell if that really improves the deck or not but spicy to see this again!

A rather normal version of the list, the main thing here is that Mati chose to go for two 6ithrias, and two Genevieves, skewing a bit towards having a powerful finisher for the mid-game.

Well shiver me timbers it's been a while! This deck hasn't seen much play since the hits to Gangplank and Monster Harpoon, but it looks like it may be enough to dent the competition! Notably, this version is a LOT less reliable on it's Allegiance triggers, but still runs three Yordle Grifters. Ardent has chosen to include three Tusk Speakers to get the guaranteed triggers and good attackers, a Three Sisters for the flexibility, and one Babbling Berg as an 'Entreat on a body' so to speak.

A powerful option to bring to the table, this deck does have few decks that outmatch it's late game due to Karma being a bit of a b*tch with burn spells, and also Hex Core Upgrades! She almost instantly levels a Viktor and gives him mountains of keywords from the first round you hit 10. Aside from that, it has a lot of the early game PnZ tools to delay and shoo the opponent off getting too aggressive.

One of the horsemen of the metacolypse, but with a splash of pink. Not only does this deck bust into k-pop on turn 9 to win the game on the spot, but it also has early game board presence in Icevale Archer, Vulpine wanderer, and Kindly Tavernkeeper. It also has Scatered Pod to find FTR or whatever tool you need as well, and Minah Swiftfoot for the immense tempo swing.

It's been a while since we've seen a tri-beam, but it looks the same as when we last saw it. It's a fairly standard tempo deck still with a lot of play value to it.
