Today I’m going to be playing a Champions Unlimited Gauntlet. I’m bringing out Ekko Jinx Sivir, which has a bit of flair and an exciting design. This deck is very predict heavy, looking to get a flipped Ekko on the board. With the flipped Ekko, I can generate Time Tricks to build up card advantage. The big thing I’m looking for is Chronobreak, which revives all my dead allies from the round and gives me a rally.

The new tool I’m using is Secret Keeper. When it comes into play, it shuffles two random level two Champions to the bottom of my deck. This improves the card quality, since level two Champions are so strong. I can easily predict those Champions and make up for having a bad vanilla unit. This also counts as leveling up Champions, so I don’t have to level up Ekko or Jinx. I just have to put Secret Keeper on the board and then Voice of the Risen is activated for the remainder of the game.
The Ekko package is the most common way I’m getting my wins. I load up the board with bad units, get Ekko down, grow everyone with Voice of the Risen, attack, and then Chronobreak them back to the board. My opponent can try to kill Ekko, frostbite my units, and neuter my rallies, so I’m also looking at using Jinx. She comes down, generates death rockets to deal damage directly to my opponent’s face, and draws more cards.
I’m also curious about using Augmented Clockling. A 2-2 elusive isn’t that special, but if I make it a four attack elusive along with Voice of the Risen, then I can generate rallies and get in multiple attacks. I’m also playing a single copy of Sivir, which is a nice thing to do coming out of an Echo based deck. I can fairly easily predict into some of these Singleton high-powered plays.
Overall, I’m trying to build muscle memory for this deck. Runeterra is different from Magic in that the format changes on a much quicker pace. I have to be ready to play multiple decks, and the shake-ups are much bigger than in Magic. I’m hoping that this deck will help me build the muscle memory I need to stay current with the format.
