Akshan replaced the entire metagame with its destiny draw of adding anything you want to your hand. Worldwalker introduced Chimes which made midrange decks look like an afterthought and accomplishes what control decks want to do by the mid-game. Forces from the Underworld and Kai'Sa were the final blow to Legends of Runeterra and the innovation of …

41:52

It started with Karma generating Health Potions in 2020. Then it started to pick up speed with Invoke and The Great Beyond in Targon. RNG reared its ugly head with the introduction of Bandle City and the keyword Manifest(ation) of Hearthstone's favorite keyword - Discover.

Episode 89: We have a serious CHIMES problem in Legends of Runeterra 48:34

2y ago48:34

48:34

Experts were totally wrong when they predicted that Bard was the least strong champion from the Worldwalker expansion. Jhin fell flat, Annie could only be played in a few decks, and Illaoi after trying so hard to become a new version of Pantheon Yuumi, has become a totally different beast on its own. Thralls is now the undisputed best aggro/control…

I recently watched Arcane and it was hands down one of the best-animated shows I've watched in recent memory. And that made me come to a realization, what is Riot doing with LOR when you can just focus all your attention to making the best TV Series of all time?

42:05

After a year since Shurima's release, Azir is finally being played in the way it is supposed to be played - via the Emperor's Deck. Tristana Swarm is still the best deck in the format despite the nerfs. Pantheon Yuumi, Riven Viktor and Targon's Peak dominate the metagame in Patch 3.4.0. Games now end as early as Turn 6.

41:41

I had the pleasure of witnessing and reviewing my first Gods Unchained Balance Update/Patch Notes after playing this game for one month. It has certainly been a change of pace comparing this to Legends of Runeterra where there is always a balance patch every week with the hordes of streamers screaming about nerfing this and that all the time.

With Divine Order's balancing to end on 26th Feb, there is a question of which cards will survive the balancing phase and retain their price value.

There's a saying that you haven't experienced Gods Unchained until you play the Weekend Ranked event in the Mythic Rank - this statement I agree wholeheartedly.

In June of 2021, I discovered Gods Unchained after a card game professional recommended it to me, I downloaded the game and went through the tutorial.
