The ULTIMATE Lurk Guide | Pyke & Rek'Sai | Legends of Runeterra

[@Snnuy]

Sweaty Saturday is back! I tried to really double down on being straight to the point with the guide and being much more informative during gameplay. The reason you're seeing Pyke for like the 3rd time on this channel is because I feel like I understand the deck enough to provide meaningful insight

[@frud213]

And don't forget this can all only happen because of the gamer chair!

[@magiwastaken]

Great video! Holy heck, the editing at the beginning... Just woah!

[@arjunbaweja7755]

I feel like Aatrox should be nerfed by removing SUMMON heal and increasing world Ender to 15. This def would be enough. If it ain’t I think only a stat decrease on lvl up should be considered. What do you think

[@dimmusdongus6596]

Thank god I hit Masters before this video went up and unleashed the fish on ladder. Playing into Lurk is the most stressful thing in the world

[@Snnuy]

Gives the same feeling as going against pyke or reksai in league of legends

[@vlgchennesaccio7490]

I loved the part where Snnuy said "It's lurking time" and he started lurking all over.

[@abiyyupanggalih854]

Neat

[@t_t9964]

Yes, it even reach disclosed places

[@jonweman6128]

As he said, this deck often requires quite a lot of thought to pilot correctly. The one thing I dislike though are mirror matches. It feels like they're almost entirely decided by luck, plus the player who goes first has a clear advantage. So I hope this video doesn't increase the playrate too much.

[@mrhankypie7901]

An EXTREMELY HIGH quality video as always Sunny. Your editing style is getting better and better as well. I see that you failed to notice the real key you need to win with pyke decks. That you need to have the pyke league gaming chair

[@Snnuy]

You're right, it's the only thing that REALLY matters when you want to highroll

[@MattHatter360]

Holy moly mate, that intro tutorial was amazing. You could seriously turn that into a standalone series and I'd 100% watch all of it.

[@franekczernecki6550]

Lurk was pretty much the first archetype I fell in love with when I saw Rek'Sai and Pyke when first entering the game, so to finally be able to master this deck with the help of your tutorial... gosh I needed it so much. It's absolutely top tier and I NEED to see more of these in-depth game plays

[@walvens3080]

It's currently 23:52 on the 31st of December for me, and I'm just starting a Snnuy video. Best way to start the new year that I've found!

[@FredericoASousa]

I'm a new player. You explaining how a deck works before the gameplay is soo great. Thank you for that

[@retroenergy]

Snnuy, your editing is peak. It's good to see you pour your knowledge to us with this animated deckteck.

[@doodlegarbage6769]

I already had a pretty good understanding of the Lurk deck, but this took my minimal knowledge and showed me what makes lurk so great. I'd also like to add that immediately after I ran this Lurk deck, I had a wild game with 2 Rek'Sais in the mulligan and drew the third along with a pyke. Only way I won that match.

[@CaioHenrique-or1ng]

I love this video format, i have a friend who wants to get into the game, they are a pyke main, and your explanation on the intro was just amazing

[@Snnuy]

From one pyke main to another, I hope they enjoy the game 🙏

[@ivanacosta3214]

Thanks for the amazing guide Snnuy! Lurk appears straightforward on the surface but there are a lot of subtleties to playing the deck correctly. Getting those insights straight from someone who really understands the deck is invaluable.

[@neveralive8550]

The main rule of lurk: you don't play lurk. You lurk.

[@boxtopus3689]

I can only recommend zapp in lurk decks. Being able to put pyke/rek sai on top is just so crucial. Also i would wish they would change the Dunebreaker. Its often a worse card than Xerxareth, while costing more. And great Intro Snnuy, have a lovely new year!

[@ikarolol97]

Damn Snnuy! That dinamic deck tech at the begining is amazing. Congratz for the creative format!

[@1RealDude23]

Great video as always. I always felt that running more than 6 non lurk cards hurts consistency even at 7. But can't argue with results.

[@Snnuy]

I felt the same way but forsaken baccai changed that entirely. Turn 1 predict and the fact you can predict + snapjaw on defending turn 3 (or 4) increased the consistency of the deck by an incredible amount.

[@BaronPRwasTaken]

When I started playing this game, Lurk was the first deck I main. I'm happy to see how well it's performing for you :)

[@thekheeshu9595]

Was just thinking of making a Lurk deck and after copying the decklist, i’ve had more fun in Runeterra than i had the last few weeks

[@Erosin]

i love the intro in this video liek really really loved it, was the intro i've ever seen like srsly, i'm new at the game and the intro explaining to me what's going on was amazing

[@murphygay7606]

ik its not optimal but i love it when a Pyke Targon deck pops off when you have the Dragon Equipment on pyke

[@topnotchfool3414]

I remember facing you in a match. I was bored and ready for the game to end because you wait SO LONG between each card you play so I just alt+F4 TL;DR boring your opponents ups your win rate. Good vid tho fun to watch and very informative just less fun to be on the non-edited end of things.

[@samuellucas5664]

THIS IS A INTRODUCTION. That is amazing

Can't wait for more lurk cards in 2023! Gg dude

[@jonweman6128]

Got to Masters the 2 last seasons (for the first time) with Lurk, not there this season yet though, great to see it covered. I'm shocked that you skip predicts, I always choose the best Lurk card that appears, except in late game if attack values are already so high it doesn't matter. Missing Lurk is so traumatic, missing it and knowing it's my own fault I would almost suicide. One question on what you say in the intro, would you never in any matchup keep champion+Call the Pack in your starting hand?

[@Snnuy]

Never unless it's pyke in a matchup where you REALLY need the spell and you're attacking on 2

[@nagasimp1855]

always remember the fuckability order: 1. Rek'Sai 2. Any yordle female 3. Lillia 4. Any yordle male 5. Anything that isnt a bestia or targonian 6. Rakan 7. Targon creatures 8. Zoe 9. Any Ixtal protector 10. Anything else

[@saltbean6579]

i like this video format, very informational from newbie perspective

[@wildman274]

Had a game with turn one attack with xersai hatchling, turn 2 play snapjaw swarm, triggering lurk on both of these attacks. Then, turn 3 reksai. With a lurk trigger and no blocks, this is exact lethal after all triggers

[@elnegu9665]

I been using this deck for a long time and its so fun to level up pyke and kill your enemy entire comp in just one round

[@cagriypr115]

Game2: misses rek'sai lurk, opponent rolls spell shield+life steal, wins anyways 🗿

[@elizakleinman1332]

I like 2 Jauls right now over the negation just bc Aatrox is a tough matchup, it’s another way to kill a board you otherwise can’t beat and games usually go till turn 8

[@jonweman6128]

I think there are so many powerful spells in the meta now (FTR, World Ender, Champion's Strength, Harrowing, etc) that 1x RoN definitely is justified. Almost every other Shurima deck includes it for a reason.

[@royalbat1900]

"Sometime lurk does what lurk does best" Yesterday I won a game by turn 4 with a leveled Rek'Sai so I have to agree

[@joshuabarnes7392]

I much prefer rek’sai on top rather than pyke on top 😏

[@samueledemartini1000]

I feel like the right play in the last game was to call the pack and pray for some overwhelm, instead of playing the 6 since it wasnt leathal anyway. Great video tho😃👍

[@gimik2593]

I will say I can understand people’s frustration with Lurk, but as somebody that’s new to LoR it’s a very nice starting deck as you do have to play around cards while also not having a very complex gameplay to follow.

[@magiwastaken]

I don't like Reksai/Pyke but it's better to play against than i.e. Pantheon or Kai'Sa. Great guide! Thanks a lot!

traumas of losing on turn 3, because he broke my Nexus on turn 4 with a piranha 🎣

[@Jam-it4yo]

he should put ripper's bay in that deck to make sure that every attack will surely trigger lurks.

[@Kevgetscarried]

I hit diamond with this guide thanks @Snnuy

[@marijnlastname3132]

Lurk is a super cool deck. Shame it's so cookie cutter but still one of the OG's at this point. Never really struggled against it as ashe/LB is my 2nd most played deck for the last while next to viego decks.

[@smih6291]

extremely well done video

[@TomRauhe]

Could you elaborate on why there are no Bone Skewers in the deck?

[@Snnuy]

- It's only good for Pyke and he's not as important to win games as Rek'Sai - Doesn't have Lurk - Only good when you use it BEFORE combat so you can put Pyke or Rek'Sai on top and proc them, but good players will hold their removal for during combat (unless you only have 1 minion but that's usually only on turn 1) - Opponent knows what card goes back to the top of your deck so it removes any playmaking It's definitely not BAD but it's uses are so niche that ruthless and rite are much better flex cards because they help Rek'Sai. Pyke doesn't actively win you games most of the time, he helps to stabilize and forces removal.

[@golemqueen1988]

I think pyke and reksai gotta get some new friends so there's more deckbuilding choices

[@gelo1309]

I love lurk deck as much as I love mono shurima and Annie/Jhin deck

always has ben my most favorite deck

[@adilo7733]

I hit masters in a day with your lurk deck from plat 4. The idea is similar with you. i dont play my predict unit if they dont either have attack token or snapjaw swarm. Missing lurk is the worst feeling because they're so weak.

[@sno7599]

runeterra is hte only game wich can make me genuinly mad because it always feels like i can't counter the opponent , in practice im' just dumb, but lurk saved the game for me. because it's so OP ,especially in my bronze elo, i don't lose.

[@Solnarto]

Deck idea: pyke/rek sai and vayne (because of the free attack) or pyke/rek sai with garen,lucian (basically a champion with rally)

[@muksa4038]

6 months later I use this deck to outrun siren decks :D

[@weeirrdcat]

Hey thoughts on playing Lurk with some kind of burn as well? I find that the deck can sometimes fizzle out with very little enemy nexus HP remaining, so maybe that would be good?

[@Barnesofthenorth]

I'm curious, what is it that steals the attack token? I just had a game against a lurk deck where it was my turn to attack, then they attacked and I didn't get an attack. Is this a bug or a new buff to the deck? as honestly it seems a bit OP to get 3 attacks in a row.

[@sno7599]

the lurk deck im using i actually deleted quite a lot of predict cards because all my cards are lurk anyway

[@jonathan45564]

I out aggro’d an Annie aggro deck. That’s how you know this is stupid. It’s great

new sweaty saturdays is better. Idk why, I just like the new vibe. Not calling it sweaty saturdays makes the deck seem stronger and you seem like a cooler pilot 😎

[@strandofeternity]

Can someone help me please? I am extremely confused… I am very new and I had just made all the cards I needed for this deck because I like it, but I can’t play with it now because joul fish is out of rotation for some reason, what is rotation and what do I do now that I can’t use it? I already committed all my materials to make all this, what do I do? Please.

[@JAIME_P.C.I]

i've been playing some lurk trying to climb and right now im at plat 3 with a 80% winrate :)

[@absentia5626]

Is ripper's bay a good option?

[@sinatraforeign]

I think they need to adjust lurk, stop the dumb animation on the top of the deck (at least stop the enemy from seeing it) so some of the lurk cards can be used in other deck without alerting the opponent, and they can make pyke champ spell lurk too, and still be used in deck's like deep without alerting the opponent that you have the card. like it's literally just animation, and the opponent can see the attack buffs anyway, why is it necessary?
