Swim you need to hit up Riot and have them officially sponsor one of these contests. It should be pretty easy for them to put up like 10k prize pool for it considering they're willing to do 200k for the championship. It'd also be really cool if you were on a panel with maybe another streamer and a few of their official designers, It'd be interesting it get everyone's take. Lastly It'd be really sweet if they officially took all the winning cards into consideration to be added, It's really a win win for everyone as Riot get more community involvement, new concepts, and ideas and we get a very interesting event with a prize pool that will really push designers to truly dedicate time and bring their A game.

Alone could also be interesting for "mage" units, because right now they just seem very "bonk on head" and not the spell-slinging champions they are. If they had like something like alone or that if they are on the backline they'll charge up spells and after seeing 2 attacks they might fire a spell, or do some magic stuff. I think that could spice it up a bit :>

[@demonswords920]

Creator of the Tristana card, here. I actually dislike Ziggs design as Ziggs is too close to Xerath. Either Ziggs or Xerath should have created or summoned landmarks to destroy / countdown. (thematically makes more sense for Ziggs and probably better to have the enabler for the dual region)

Anti mag chains is a crazy cool card. Imagine a scene. A bunch of stone grabs you and chains you too it. Think fast? You can escape, otherwise you are petrified to it.

[@jax_wildguess]

I love these cards so much! That is because you can build decks with these cards and also using the EXISTING cards, and not a whole set that is created for them ONLY! Like, Riot keeps adding new keywords and archetypes and not enough support cards for the existing decks. I would love to have seen some reveals with scouts, lurkers, nightfalls/daybreak, elusive, spiders, frostbite, dragons, etc. in the past few days!

[@AshDrakon]

I'm hoping that after the Bandlewood expansions, since it's the final region Riot will start creating more support for existing decks and possible revamp old and powercrept champs

[@tonysmith9905]

Scouts, Nightfall/daybreak, spiders, frostbite, dragons got more support in Shurima. Dragons also got even more support in the Viego event. Lurkers just came out. Elusives gets more support every single set. So yeah, time to bring in new stuff. Trust me, they're not going to stop adding support for the older archetypes.

Still a little understatted tho

[@dexter-uq4fw]

[@blackwolf1401]

Dang, Nunu and Galio are top notch, Riot will have a hard time trying to design someting as good as this

[@peterhans3495]

They could also simply copy the cards, I wouldn't mind actually

[@DanielGreis1]

I really like the custom card contest, mostly because I like reveal season, and this simulates even more like interesting card and concept ideas, even if they are not actually in the game. However, I personally would prefer, if this kind of Video is not coming at the same time than an actual reveal season. I actively decided to stop watching the video after the first card, because I don‘t want do deflect my attention for new cards from real cards to imaginary cards, because it is already hard to memorise the real cards right now. However, I would love to watch this video in a month or sth, when the current patch is already older. Therefore, I would have waited with the contest for much earlier or much later.

[@stealthshadowgaming458]

29:20 Yo Saang is OP 😂

[@Forky2]

The meme package was hilarious

[@mbase6469]

Alone is a great concept. I'd love to see an aggressively costed "Your spells and abilities deal 1 additional damage if I'm not Alone." That way you get buffs to slow proactive removals, but if you want it mid combat you have to risk your engine/hold back your offense.

[@diaaqattan7918]

“ Alone “ keyword can also be a thing for galio, it is somewhat the opposite idea if what was mentioned about khazix where galio can use it in a supportive way like when another card is attacking alone he can “ hero smash “ into the fight and maybe does damage or another effect

[@mikulasmelicher8752]

That Galio deserved the win hands down. It made me shiver and I am craving it more than this expansion. Sick idea, concept, playstyle, flavour, and art. Genious.

[@Morfe02]

Tristana looks better than the "+1 if you summon and impact" Galio is broken, just needs 2 landmarks that silence or cancel enemy spells

[@tonysmith9905]

They aren't trying to capture the flavor of the champion every single time though. They're trying to build a card game first.

[@Jj-ej9mu]

that galio set is kinda really good. it fits together to the power level of hard to remove decks like the playstyles of deep sea or landmark decks because your enemies are high health silenced statues and with demacia's resourcefulness in barrier spells its gon git gud

[@bushyman477]

About the Galio set, i saw someone on custom LoR who made a Kassadin set that looked very interesting (Dude made an entire void set :( rip). it had cards like silence an ally to silence a follower this round. Self silence is a pretty cool concept. Demacia actually has tons of potencial for interesting champions. Galio for anti spells aswell, Xin Zhao for an actual Challenger payoff, Sylas for spell stealing or smth

[@aolive123]

you can open attack on turn 3 with petricite statue with flash of brilliance

[@crawfish9042]

Nunu and willump with shurima would be sick. not only can you predict for better hits, but you have access to lucky finds for a pretty gross unit. also siphoning strike and golden ambassador would be cracked.

[@CaesarsSalad]

These were all fanatastic. Really loved at the meme set at the end.

[@NormalWeeb.]

Galio and Lux would be a pretty neat interaction, in the lore Lux magic alone could wake up Galio. Galio lvl up could be "When i see you cast Final Spark level me up and remove Immobile from myself" or "when i see you or your enemy cast 8+ cost spell"

The galio set is actually incredibly similar to cards that exist in hearthstone (statues that can't attack unless they are silences). Even the mage breaker, is an exact copy of spellbreaker from hearthstone.

[@DarlingOfMine]

The Gallo strat is insane. Even if you never silence the statues, you can still use all the strike spells available already in the game. I would love to see it in game. But turn one 4/4, then two and on single combat can kill whatever the opponent plays, that may be too strong. But overall, so unique

im always think that Galio is the card meant to put together the spell base archetpye for demacia, so lux can stop sucking (obviously she dont, she neeeds an update the time has done dirty to her) but this galio has a lot of flavor on his own, meanwhile also working very weell with lux , forcing you to cast spell to get value, and then giving you a way to close a little more the game.

[@alexsandor6135]

What I would change about the statues is instead of immobile getting removed based on a condition they just get silenced so they sinergize with galio

[@LivingShad]

Wait a minute...that troll cards can actually work! And this is how: Simple way: Use death mark on Sanguard so he can grant doug double attack and tough (With this doug won't be a ephemeral anymore because this is not a spell it's an effect) -------------------------------------------- Now let's talk about the other way, how can you use every undead buddy except greg. (He can cry at somewhere i don't care) Warning: You literally need infinity luck for this way This is how: 1) Borris sees an ally die then Silences Sanguard in your deck (Because you played Borris with any ally, attacked with it and the ally died) 2) Then you draw Sanguard and play it immediately, he doesn't dies next turn cuz he doesn't have Ephemeral (Silence removes Ephemeral). Next turn he gives every Undead Buddies in hand Double Attack and Tough 3) After that you play Doug and because he has Double Attack now, he removed his Ephemeral keyword 4) After that you play Saang 5) Then you play Reginald. Now Doug, Borris and Saang has Regeneration 6) Next turn you play Spectral Matron to summon Ephemeral Cithria, Lady of Cloud (This is a Demacia-Shadow isles deck because yes) 7) Next attack you support Cithria, Lady of Cloud with Saang so she will grant all allies double hp and double attack after she got revived, and now they can't rally because you still have 10-10 ephemeral Cithria, Lady of Cloud to block any enemy Perfect! with all of that, this turn you have 12-12 Regeneration Saang if he didn't died while supporting Cithria (Which he didn't because you have infinite luck so enemy just didn't wanted to block or just doesn't have any blocker to kill it cuz he is a 6-6 right now), 24-24 Spectral Matron, 0-16 regeneration Borris, 8-12 Regeneration Sanguard and lastly 4-20 (You can buff him with any all allies buff speel but i consider you didn't) Tough, Regeneration, Double attack Doug which cannot be targeted by any spells Congratulations! you wasted your time by reading this cuz this is almost impossible and almost every other plan is much better than this (If we consider that those troll cards are actually in the game) Oh, and enemy can still destroy your nexus with spells cuz you are not shurima, ionia (Only this 2 regions has deny cards) Just kidding you have infinite luck, of course enemy doesn't have any cards to destroy your nexus this turn :P

There is something undefined about the Nunu & Willump card. What happens with the other Nunu's and Willump's that are in your deck and hand once you level up? My guess is you obliterate them all and then create a "Nunu and Willump" for each pair and place them where Willump was.
