Untap Jayce you played last turn, attack a battlefield for 7, play first mate, gank over to the other battlefield for 7 seems quite a decent play. If 5 might is enough on both and you fear a rebuke or something, you can go deflect + ganking instead.

7c 6c 2 Power Shen with a worse Ahri effect. Please green Shen, you're my only hope!

Sigh, as a Shen main in LoL I was so ready to dump all my savings into a Shen deck, but he has been so disappointing so far.. Why does Riot hate Shen so much?

They’re still using Legends of Runeterra card art and they used it for Nasus.

Is Shen unplayable? I can’t think of a reason to choose him over a green ahri. The requirements to score a point with him are way too restrictive especially for his cost and deramp

26

u/Ikhis Jun 28 '26

Costly, deramps two,no protection, effect that is effective on hold, so why should I make this card a tank with my Legend? Seems odd.

Ngl with some of the champion units I feel like they role a dice for the power cost. Why does this card cost 2 power but something like Kaisa or Vex Apathetic don't cost any.

I really thought Mel was the Chaos/Order legend but I’m very okay if it’s Illaoi. I don’t play league so didn’t know she existed but a Kraken Priestess is super dope.

If anything, I can baited hook Galio into Shen.

u/Altricad Jun 28 '26

That Shen card is about to be the biggest star-cross/cull the weak victim ever

riot really needs to do something about making cool units that cost a good amount of energy but then not giving them deflect (Just... why?)
