Today I’m talking about the Return-o Wrench from the Heart of the Huntress spoiler. Throughout the history of Legends of Runeterra, discard-based cards have been incredibly powerful. Cards like Jury Rig, Vision, and Survival Skills have all been incredibly useful. I felt like Return-o Wrench was going to be right in that same space, especially since it has the ability to come back to your hand and be discarded again.
In Bandle City, I was looking to use the Return-o Wrench with Electro Harpoon and Blowback. Electro Harpoon is a high impact removal spell that deals two damage to a small unit, ideally a Samira-sized unit, while also dealing damage to the opposing face. Blowback is another discard-based removal spell that deals damage to the opposing face. With these two spells, I was able to assemble a nice little burn package.
I also wanted to tie in some card draw cards. Rummage is a great free discard that can draw more cards, and Parts Made Whole gives us a unit if we discard it. With all of this card draw, I wanted to tie it into something useful and impactful, so I moved into a portals package. Norra is a great card that can put a portal somewhere in the top four cards of your deck, and Junk Construct and Portalpalooza are also great cards. The big tie-in here is Portal Scholar, which shuffles a portal into our deck and gives our created allies impact.
Finally, I added some other cards to the deck, like Boom Baboon, Flame Chompers, Sneezy Biggle Dust, Group Shot, and Stone Stackers. Boom Baboon gives us an additional discard card, Flame Chompers give us an additional discard card, Sneezy Biggle Dust grows our portal units quickly, Group Shot gives us additional removal, and Stone Stackers is a great 2-3 unit that can deal with the smaller units in the format.
I’m really happy with where this deck stands, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it performs in battle. Stay tuned for more!
