Rating Every Card From The New Expansion

[@Swimstrim]

Streaming the new expansion here: twitch.tv/swimstrim

[@jaeger7243]

anytime swim says something along the lines of "we're going to do this every expansion" I know it is the only time the format appears

[@RJCMaxification]

1 minute left Swim: time to explain what minimorph does

[@edoardocaccia6226]

Just flexing his rapping skills

[@rickyismyuncle4485]

Just like when I said Poppy was gonna be meta defining and people laughed, Im saying Yuumi will be meta defining next. Too many good targets early. - White flame - Zoe - Fizz - Zed - any low cost elusive as back up. Its a crazy card.

[@brokeguy5607]

When did you say that about Poppy and who laughed at you.

[@ShameenFerdinando]

Bahahahahaha

[@TiagoVello]

Transposition is amazing with veigar man, is just every thing he wants. Since the pathways nerf the deck is kinda lacking a bit on value and it can be used flexibly to get a bit of value from a recalled ixtali sentinel maybe even make the dess & ada 1of kinda OK. And, of course, its like a unpingable bastion for backline champions. Friendship is great as well and fighting for the same spot, but i think Transposition fits the deck in more ways. Darkness just got a great card, u wait

[@lestro1110]

Transposition is not gonna be good in veig. No i will not elaborate further.

[@TiagoVello]

@@lestro1110 U WAIT...

[@chrisg.6509]

Isn’t it just a worse mists call? In which situation would you rather have 4 mana Transposition than 3 mana stress defense or mists call?

[@TiagoVello]

@@chrisg.6509 mist call is not bad, but it is soo clunky. Darkness have so many whiny little dudes like conchologist that more often then not u end up having to roll a dice to recover veigar. Especially against challengers and board whipes. Its good against single target hard removal, but since u have those 2 health dudes on your board a control deck usually can kill some of those on stack and u end up rolling the dice anyway. stress defense is great against challengers, but they have the opportunity to rebuff their challenger. Good against damage based removal, but usually its a 3 mana elixir of iron in that scenario. And flops against hard removal like vengeance, ruination etc. Transposition only flops against minimorf. Its like comparing deny with nopeify, Transposition is the panacea veigar needed.

[@lestro1110]

@@TiagoVello lul but the highlighted comment is the correct elaboration

[@Accidental.Creation]

I don't know how streamer deal with their chat, most of the time people just comment random BS 😂 But yeah, I will play Udyr, no matter how good or bad he will be, haha.

[@swittchblade]

I don't know how extremely big streamers deal with theirs. Chat flies by so quickly that anyone who had anything useful/interesting to say pretty much is unreadable.

[@sisyphos9412]

my prediction is Swims prediciton for Spirit Portal is a hard whiff.

[@WhimzyInteractive]

You and grapplr are the best parts of my day

[@cuchalopa]

hahahhaa that intro tho. Swim is great man what a great person to be around. I remember following you from back in the day and I must say Ibam impressed by the development you have shown as a person, maybe I am reaching too far but I wanted to point out that you seem to be feeling more fulfiled or something hahaha. Love you man. For sure I'll be smashing that like button.

[@xaius4348]

People don't realize how hard it is to get plunder in freljord, our only options are "deal x to all" effects. Tusk speaker will make plunder freljord a LOT less reliant on their second region for plunder. edit: For the love of card games, please make avarosan marksman a "deal 1 to anything" riot. The card will still suck, but it will actually have a use finally.

[@swittchblade]

Oh my God. I didn't realize that card couldn't hit face. I really wish we would see more patches buff completely unplayed cards. You probably wouldn't see the meta shake up to much from buffing things like this, but it gives more options to niche decks that just barely don't quite work.

[@xaius4348]

@@swittchblade Yeah, even cards designed to be bad should have a reason to exist.

[@xaius4348]

Hot-head is probably my favorite card this expansion, play it in something like an aggressive midrange deck with sivir + renekton.

[@sunrayyourmom]

It's definitely a fun card. Reminds me of starlit seer In Freljord fizz

[@Janmba_]

i think that lissandra with wrath of the freljord, yetis, and transposition is going to be a niche but really good combo. having an early super fearsome aura on an 8 cost 8|8 overwhelm with lissandra existing and yes this doing their thing, watched will be out fast too. transposition + yetis especially with the wrath card is probably going to see some nieces play

[@noahpalmer7732]

I feel like Grandfather Fae goes straight into Bandle Tree though. Much rather have him as the Ionia trigger than Kennen

[@ireallygotnothing]

You pretty much always run the 1/2 elusive that gives an owlcat though and owlcat is your ionia trigger

[@noahpalmer7732]

@@ireallygotnothing The deck stopped doing that cause the elusive doesn't always get through unfortunately. People ran commando at seasonals just cause kennen was too high prio for other decks but he was the better pick up till now

[@TiagoRodrigues-oz4qs]

12:00 when you se the timeline and think, he got it

[@Zhile_Yu]

Gnar is just so good that you can put him is many decks other than transform archetypes due to his versatility. I even wonder which deck will he fit best.

[@karottenrube202]

It might actually be time for Gnar/Swain. You want Gnar to be in a semi-aggressive Control deck. And Swain just Benefits from the Card Draw

[@IDoNotFeelCreative]

Imagine petricite stag being higher cost, but having something like "I take all the damage from my supported unit, point by point". I mean, tough would make it op, but that's kinda the point to make it unique Or even just "I give me and my supported unit tough and take half the damage from my supported unit this round" just to make it kinda special

[@iiWarlord]

Hahahahahahahahahaha I love you, that intro

[@rawoo9385]

the rap god moments today were amazing.

[@vincentjoseleron1980]

what about the new emotes

[@TandarenBGR]

I miss your tier lists man, hope you come back peepoPray

[@jaycred8726]

Does Yordle Portal not refill the card slot you discard? I assumed the manifest would add a copy to your hand and then a copy would be summoned on the board

[@uncannyvalley1345]

I would like to see a Soraka/Galio healing deck

[@lexdotart]

I just realized... can either Arsenal, Viktor, or Pantheon get Formidable from their effects? If so... well sh*t XDDD

[@danielemazzali9810]

why there aren't any emote on the tiers, what are those? letters?!?! i'm lost

[@arcadillo611]

Ngl I don't remember a thing he said about the last few cards I was too busy counting down the seconds

[@mightgocrazy6951]

i highly recommand to put 0.75 speed at around 32:45

[@NotFlappy12]

I always watch Swim videos in x1.75 or x2 Speed, not gonna stop today 😎

[@shawnpolluch3510]

I just want a playruneterra AMA. I wanna know for sure what riot thinks bandle city identity is and what they think their strength and weakness is?

[@donnyvega6058]

Tier list - feat Eminem

[@dennisep1704]

It's funny how formidable was made for Freljord counter but wolf and Ashe make formidable units a joke

[@TheMidWave]

That's only if ashe levels, formidable will still trade if you try and swing without her leveled.

[@codegeass7162]

Appreciate the vid!

I love rapgod Swim.

[@pat1275]

I saw Swiminem live in concert

[@ryenwaldron7263]

HI TWITCH :)

[@ivanchoz]

Dude, the solution to HotHead is really simple. Just run a single champion card in your deck

[@IfWhatYes]

And call of the pack to put it back in deck when you need to

[@PlanADidntWorkOut]

Yo, this actually makes a lot of sense! Imagine: Turn 3 Hothead -> Turn 4 Golden Amb (or Rite) -> Turn 5/6 Rek'sai/Renekton with Scout or Regeneration. And there are ways to duplicate buffed champions (Counterfeit Copies, Careful Prep). Sounds like a funny concept that could get a lot stronger as more cards are released.

[@IfWhatYes]

@@PlanADidntWorkOut yeah this is gonna be the new concurrent timeliness for me. Love weird cards like this

[@jeth3540]

So weird, I didn't recognize him until 1:19

[@LutraLovegood]

When you switch to 1.25 speed

[@xaius4348]

video came out 5 hours ago... last stream 10 hours ago... hmmmm

I want to make like a yuumi broum deck

[@redcrossbow6389]

With galio i think i could finally play noxus demacia lol

[@ekpilot_]

Haven't even watched, but udyr better be all the way down there

[@fandasysel6075]

What?

[@1SSJA]

@@fandasysel6075 he is

[@Dreoni_]

You could rate them from 1 to 5 stars or something

[@Quo210]

Udyr will be pretty good on a deck that exploits his strengths, probably one of the best and most flexible cards to come out in a while

[@noraai2409]

0.75x is great

[@Datanimeid]

hot head is 4star card

[@bobbobby475]

Man I hate swims chat.

hi twitch chat

i stopped watching swimstrim after post-gwent era but the tierlists of any shit just hit me different bruv...🤤🤤🤤

[@ThanatosIRL]

This chat dud

[@NapoleonSoares]

Your incredible inability to use the same tierlist descriptions more than twice is 50% of your value tbh.

[@Aadi-0803]

6:20 or turn 4 you play 2 gleeming lantern plus another 2 or less mana fae no one will see it coming muahahahahhahhaha

[@invernofuyu2542]

"friendship" is the worst card of the expansion bcz it gives Bandle a way to deny spells, Bandle already has everything... When you play a spell like "vengance", first you had to play carefully only against Ionia, then Ionia and Shurima, then Targon... And now Bandle too?

[@sebastianecheverry4458]

wrong from the start (joke)

[@AeAeRon]

at 33 minute mark, put him on 0.75x speed and he sounds normal

[@_._8418]
