Hello, fellow gamers! Today, we’re diving into the world of Legends of Runeterra, focusing on a champion that’s often overlooked – the Poro King. Despite being sidelined in many discussions, the Poro King has proven its worth in recent events, warranting a closer look.
In the past, we’ve explored the new Heart of the Huntress champions Nidalee and Neeko. However, the Poro King was left in the shadows. It’s time to rectify that oversight and shine a spotlight on this champion.
Recently, during the Mastering Runeterra event, a player named Oseoros managed to secure a top-four position using a Poro King deck. This achievement indicates that even if you don’t plan on using the Poro King, you’re likely to encounter it on the ladder or in upcoming Riot open events.
The Mastering Runeterra website has posted the top eight deck lists from the event (link to decklists: https://masteringruneterra.com/top-8-deck-2000-maru-open/), including Oseoros’s Poro King deck. If you’re interested in exploring other deck lists, you can find them on their website, or you can find all of the decklists from the event on their Discord channel.
Now, let’s delve into the Poro King’s potential. In the past, the Poro King was considered one of the less viable options, often dismissed as a meme rather than a competitive choice. However, this deck has unique advantages that aren’t found in Fizz or Evelynn decks.
One of the key components of the Poro deck is Poro Snacks. This card doesn’t generate units like Reaver’s Row, but it does provide a permanent bonus to our units and can be used as a combat trick. This surprise element can often tip the scales in your favor during combat.
The Poro King himself is another crucial element of this deck. The Poro King can generate additional Poro Snacks, which can be a game-changer. Imagine having a card that could generate a Siren Song every turn – that’s the kind of power we’re talking about here.
Compared to a Fizz deck, which has six ways to boost your one-cost cards, the Poro deck has nine ways to enhance your units. This advantage becomes more pronounced as the game drags on, allowing your units to outgrow your opponent’s.
In conclusion, the Poro King deck offers a unique playstyle that can catch your opponents off guard. If you’re looking for a fresh approach to Legends of Runeterra, give the Poro King a try. It’s time to jump in and do battle with this underrated champion.
