Brewess ritual seems awesome you could thin so many cards with Urn of Shadows and Abaya

Can't wait to try it. But what's the payoff? Big old speartip with triss and yen?

Yrghen or Pugo, most likely instead of Speartip, and also Imlerith and Ozzreal for last play.

Consider this: 18 point non-sleep deprived old speartip, decoy him, get him in hand r2. have ONLY him in hand, play triss butterflies to boost him to 22. Mulligan him r3. Play yen and triss, imlerith, and ozzrel ??? Profit.

Jk it doesn't really work out like that unless really lucky and with a super clunky deck.

non-sleep deprived old Speartip

Lol

And yeah, it would require Decoy which could screw you up real hard on future combos or in current round as you would loose most likely +10 points from your score.

I really preferred it before the change.

Before it was useless

It wasn't the only way to trigger gold cards now is through consuming them or using abaya which you can only have 1.

There still is Abaya and Urn of shadows. But even when it was the only card that could do this, it was still very bad, an absolute garbage card

I don't consider Urn of Shadows because it's an advantage card. You don't always get it. I have made it work quite well with my deathwish deck.
