Your OG Yasuo Katarina deck was the deck that introduced me to LoR, imagine how I felt as a starry eyed newbie when I crafted a tier 5 deck with the first of my hard won wildcards years ago only to get smashed in bronze 4. Just saying, It feels good to come full circle
Really love that intro, building up to where the game was up until the present. I've been waiting for you to cover this deck again for a while when Yasuo's boat was leaked. Cheers for you, Mogwai!
As I hate Yasuo and Katarina in League of Legends, it was always very ironic to see them be trash in LoR. But I also felt kinda bad. Seeing Katarina being successful in the Viego/Deserter List (before the Deserter Nerf) and now Yasuo being Meta... I don't know how to feel
Man, that was the first deck that i really started to play and that was because of you. I was able to reach platinum (for me is a big thing lol) and that made me proud of myself. See this deck being so good is unbeliveable
Just finished listening to the intro. I'm actually so happy that Yasuo has gone above and beyond, from it being close to a meme deck and now being a top tier deck. I think it just feels right to say that "You did it, You crazy son of a bitch You did it."
Hi Mogwai, I found Frostbites are a real counter to the current meta. Hallowed, Evelynn, Kai'sa, Yasuo, all of them rely on having a unit with a lot of power on the board. Would love to see what you can do with that. Especially Gwen becomes super useless against a good Ashe deck.
Loved it like i knew i would. So happy for you to get a card you like be better again and you smiling while playing is just the best. Can’t wait for a starhound pack deck now, good boys on the prowl. I made a rough version with out of the way taric akshan and it’s fun
Every expansion Riot gave hope for a Yasuo deck. We got it with Leona, with Malphite, with Veigars signature spell, with Gnars. And every time this hope crumbled into pieces at the end, leaving Yasuo lovers with a slight feeling of despair. This despair is what I love to see and I can't wait for it to happen this time again.
the probleme with all of those is that noxus is way better with yasuo, but there's no good noxus champion to go with it, we had Jhin, but if you play Jhin you can't play the minotaur, which was crucial engine for yasuo deck, now the landmark replace the minotaur as an engine and make Katarina good in the deck, most of the best tool are still in noxus, but they are replacable, it not only make the classic yasuo/noxus way better, but it make all the other region more viable, exept maybe bandle that doesn't make sense i think.
Did fae bladetwirler get the recall buff from katarina striking (and dying) at 31:40? This paired with recent gwen level up on death strike makes me think rito gems have some weird consistent bug going on
A big part is these stuns all don't have a response window. With most stuns you could kill yasuo or frostbite etc, but now you play hillock and something is dead, you rally something is dead, your attack turn starts something is dead. He gets to put in work.
I'm using garen for the demacia variation or using relentless pursuit and it works when it triggers on the opponents turn, it also works on scout's first attack triggering the landmark
saw your match history and i knew it was coming today. already on a 3 game win streak with your list. nice to see this return in your hands, cant wait to see a Swain version.
We love you dude! This was the deck you have build before meta but now its been reborn and a tier 0 deck and METAAA! "Follow the wind, but watch your back!" YASUAOOOOooooo! HORRAAAAAAAAA!
I still have your old version of this deck in my deck library(I do not often clear my deck library much haha). And I love to see this deck from you again!
What!? Yasou is now meta!? Hell yeah! Will be logging into LoR for the first time in probably 2 years to try this deck. Thanks for the highlight video.
Been playing runeterra from launch and no matter what it's gunna always be fun to play for 1 week when new cards come then when meta settles and tier o deck is discovered we log out til next patch
Fun fact: Mogwai's most popular video on the channel is a Yasuo Katarina deck to masters from 2 years ago, when both champs were deemed terrible. Yet he still believed in Yasuo, got to masters and overdosed on copium with new stun card reveals over the years. This is seriously some Thanos "They called me a madman" shit.
I got cancer from that missplay. Twin disciples/deny/nopify, there are countless way to counter mystic shot there, that means you always should do a safety block.
if u want lose game sure, next turn was win or lose anyway if i block here i lose game 100% but i believe you knew better my hand than i know my hand XD anyway, happy to play vs Mogwai it was fun game, glad he had fun with yasuo deck
@@maroq9213 You dont seem to understand what happened. If you had put your unit to block and then mystic shot, then you reduce the risk of losing the game. Worst case scenario - you lose the unit. Best case scenario - mystic shot goes through and your unit still lives.
That 1st player in general was bad also challenging the bladetwirler earlier giving Mogwai an easy block with his 5/1 not expecting the bladetwirler to grow to a 3/3 on attack is silly in against a Yasuo deck.
Countering that would be annoying, especially with the deny cards, but not with non-skill damage from xerath. I have a solid win streak against it using the zilean xerath arsenal deck, with its low cost units, reactive spells, and fast card draw that would replace killed units fast enough to drag out the game, killing off yasuo with xerath and closing with the arsenal. Im not sure if I optimized it enough but would be glad to see you featuring this anti meta deck.
@@bijnov84 Nah, highly disagree, just as you learn one meta it changes. Not good or fun. You know the old classic games? like chess and so on. THEY DON'T CHANGE. People who get bored with the same meta needs to check their attention span.
@@ThereisNOpandemicWAKEUP thats not a good comparison... card games like these inevitably change with every new addition. there's nothing wrong with that as long as they can keep a healthy balance, and trying out new things is part of the fun. if you like chess then play chess, not everything has to remain the same lol
@@malsocio Patience, never changed either. Point is. You don't have to change it, or keep adding stuff to it. Not every card game needs to change.... Most online game are killed at some point because of balance/ meta changes, esp if you identify with a certain specific gameplay/meta. There is a reason why they are now coming with wow classic for example. Every meta is a unique eco-system, a game in itself. Which is lost when they change it.
I've been using all types of rally variants , scout also triggers the landmark and 5 Mana means its already half for a malphite level up. Landmark now makes yasuo viable. Scout was unexpected when I tested with AI but then with other players.
That landmark basically turned this into a control deck, except it does it on its own. At no point during the last game that guy was allowed to do anything with his board. I'm curious to try this with Swain
This landmark is basically Yasuo's Path of Champions 2nd Star Power and if that is already strong in PoC imagine it in game where the meta right now is buffing units with keywords which results in decks only focusing at 1 to 2 big units for attacking at most
I MADE A DECK WITH LITERALLY THE SAME CARDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS A FEW DAYS AGO (- thorn of the rose) SO HOLY SHIT! I REALLY DID LEARN SOMETHING FROM MOGWAI!
i still play the very first version of Yasuo you made, i've made many modification overtime, but i never stopped playing it, with that landmark it's the 3rd major modification i made and the deck is very different from the popular version, a more control style and honestly i wonder how the popular version is that strong since i've beat it like 10 time and never lose with any of my deck, i guess most people don't know how to play the deck
I think it's finally Yasuo/Kat's time to shine not only bc of the new landmark, but because combat feels like it has become important again Bandle encouraged so many burn/ high resource strategies that meant that stun lost a lot of value

Imagine someone telling you 1 year ago that Yasuo and Katarina would be in a Tier 1 meta deck... I wouldn't believe it
Cause Riot can make any deck good with the introduction of synergistic cards.
Same with Thralls and mono Shurima, huh?
@@nigrechok thralls were always good...
I haven’t played Runeterra in months, but ain’t no way I’m going to miss this.
SAME!
I love to face yasuo deck than frickkin Azirelia.
It’s not a great time to come back, it feels like Fated meta all over again, and Azirelia is unfortunately viable again
@@lucirmarvrasrockurd2029 what would you say the most prevalent decks in the meta are right now?
@@jakdee1295 azirelia
*"I PLAYED YASUO BEFORE IT WAS COOL"*
I laughed so fucking hard. Hes right tho, he did create it, no need to be humble about it!
MegaMogwai definitely created this. Guy is a walking fukin meme, screaming any-city/Yasuo since release.
And they called him a mad man for it.
word!
We finally have confirmation that every deck is in fact a mogwai deck.
Now that Swim turned out to be a sick, twisted mofo, this is truly the case.
"Ir is known" kek

30:55 this is the best interaction and turn event in history of Legend of Runeterra
Yeah it just fits the situation perfectly
As I hate Yasuo and Katarina in League of Legends, it was always very ironic to see them be trash in LoR. But I also felt kinda bad. Seeing Katarina being successful in the Viego/Deserter List (before the Deserter Nerf) and now Yasuo being Meta... I don't know how to feel
1 copy of Katarina in Viego/Deserter decks? How is that success?
@@13yattien A start's a start, okay? We all have to start somehow
@@zwiebeldogs Yes, it's just weird to me that only Yasuo takes all the credit now. I mean where is the "Katarina is finally meta" hype?
@@13yattien
It's because Katarina is not a champion, she's a rally spell that can attack.
@@GandalfTheSilver "Rally, makes another me in hand" with extra step
With this, can we have YASUO to MASTER RANK 2 : RETURN OF THE TEMPEST as a sequel video ?
YESSS!!!! WE NEED THAT.
Never seen Mogwai as serious about playing a deck as on this one x) you outdid yourself here ! ^^
"Death is like the wind... ALWAYS BY MY SIDE!" -Yasuo
Patch 3.11.0: "How about NO!"
Now death of our enemy's are by our side
We have been waiting for the day, biding our time and counting the days. YASUO DECKS WILL RISE!
"But I probably talked about this in deck-tech already"
Mogwai facing the strongest opponent so far, Future Mogwai
Man, that was the first deck that i really started to play and that was because of you. I was able to reach platinum (for me is a big thing lol) and that made me proud of myself.
See this deck being so good is unbeliveable
Next patch: Only Mogwai gets to play Yasuo, we've removed him from the Champion pool for all players who are not Mogwai.
Finally! I've been playing yasuo a lot in the past and pretty much tried every yasuo deck you made. Now hes finally viable 😍
30:54 is another perfect Mogwai moment
Nothing personel, kid
Just finished listening to the intro. I'm actually so happy that Yasuo has gone above and beyond, from it being close to a meme deck and now being a top tier deck. I think it just feels right to say that "You did it, You crazy son of a bitch You did it."

It's time for mogwai to pull out the Howling Abyss Ashe Tahm Kench deck again
that landmark was like the G-spot for a Yasuo's deck
and the dev hit it very well
He's completely right about creating the Yasuo deck. It's actually been the cover video of his channel since I don't know when!
Loved it like i knew i would. So happy for you to get a card you like be better again and you smiling while playing is just the best. Can’t wait for a starhound pack deck now, good boys on the prowl. I made a rough version with out of the way taric akshan and it’s fun
The pure emotion 😂 “I did it BEFORE we had f*cking cards” we all hoped my guy, couldn’t be happier for you
Every expansion Riot gave hope for a Yasuo deck. We got it with Leona, with Malphite, with Veigars signature spell, with Gnars.
And every time this hope crumbled into pieces at the end, leaving Yasuo lovers with a slight feeling of despair.
This despair is what I love to see and I can't wait for it to happen this time again.

It feels SO GOOD seeing my girl being great omg, THANK YOU MIGUEEEEL
Been waiting way too damn long for this.
Seriously it's about time Yasuo was meta.
Did fae bladetwirler get the recall buff from katarina striking (and dying) at 31:40? This paired with recent gwen level up on death strike makes me think rito gems have some weird consistent bug going on
Riot let bug for Yasuo's follower.. 😏
Finally been waiting for your yasuo deck since the release of expansion
I love the rant at the start, love the deck as well. OG
A big part is these stuns all don't have a response window. With most stuns you could kill yasuo or frostbite etc, but now you play hillock and something is dead, you rally something is dead, your attack turn starts something is dead. He gets to put in work.
I'm using garen for the demacia variation or using relentless pursuit and it works when it triggers on the opponents turn, it also works on scout's first attack triggering the landmark
That beginning segment made me laugh so hard! Bless you Mogwai!
Love the content, keep it up! Also, I would love if you tried to make a Kai'sa Annie deck, making use of Tybaulk to buff up Kai'sa's damage.
saw your match history and i knew it was coming today. already on a 3 game win streak with your list. nice to see this return in your hands, cant wait to see a Swain version.
When Miguel talks about the Hillock he sounds like he's going to cry
We love you dude! This was the deck you have build before meta but now its been reborn and a tier 0 deck and METAAA! "Follow the wind, but watch your back!" YASUAOOOOooooo! HORRAAAAAAAAA!
I still have your old version of this deck in my deck library(I do not often clear my deck library much haha). And I love to see this deck from you again!
The video we all knew was coming.
Ι am so happy
We deserve 1hr gameplay with yasuo
What!? Yasou is now meta!? Hell yeah! Will be logging into LoR for the first time in probably 2 years to try this deck. Thanks for the highlight video.
That is by far the best intro i've ever seen in a LoR video! Go on Miguel, show them!
I just built my own Yasuo Kata Hillock deck today, had really good games and wondered why nobody else did this before and now I'm seeing this video :D
Been playing runeterra from launch and no matter what it's gunna always be fun to play for 1 week when new cards come then when meta settles and tier o deck is discovered we log out til next patch
Isn't this a grapplr deck?

"I made every deck in the game, obviously". Never change, you magnificent bastard.
Yasuo for the win.
At 31:33 the bladetwirler triggers off of Katarina recall even though she doesn’t actually go back to hand. Weird card interaction!
Game 1 is a great example of why you always safety block despite "having the certain kill" with a spell
I got cancer from that missplay. Twin disciples/deny/nopify, there are countless way to counter mystic shot there, that means you always should do a safety block.

Playing Yasuo also first game against some Yordle non-sense it's definitely Mogwai's channel..
Test drove this deck for the first time this morning. Got my opponent to rage quit during the first match. Chef's kiss of a deck.
Countering that would be annoying, especially with the deny cards, but not with non-skill damage from xerath.

I main Yasuo Kata since i saw your video about your love for this deck. So since day 1 pretty much
1:30 that Grapplr video struck a netve ey MegaMogwai,

Top intro. Miguel having his own take on the meme - "all decks are Mogwai's decks" just killed me 😆
Lmao this video is just too awesome. Honor for our greatest yasuo player
The deck that became his most popular video of this channel.
the first time i play Lor i build Every Yasuo possible deck because of you mogwai
TOP tier intro, good freaking stuff
Next patch: Windswept Hillock: The first time you get the attack token this turn, stun the strongest enemy.
DONT BRING RIOT BAD IDEAS!!!! 😭😭😭
I think even with this nerf this card is still good, the free stun value is too good
@@LapisD one stun ain't enough tho to be good. Let yasuo saver this mate

he learned from you!*

Yasuoo deck!!!!!!!! Yea baby!!! Thats waht I've been waiting for!!!!!! Wooohhhhooooo
Its confirmed now bois the man the myth the legend Godwai has returned with his signature Yasuo Deck
Malphite synergy didn't even occur to me. Looking forward to that video, curious what you can cook up.
I have to eat my words all it would take is the boat. I bet this is full vindication. You deserve every word in the intro.
The best intro in the history of intros
if you are looking for something different you need to try Cometh Battle. The improvements they made in the last few months are unmatched.
Hey mogwai I’ve been watching your content for a while! I love your stuff. Do you think you could make a Gwen/Viktor deck?

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
Been thinking a lot about yasuo Malphite deck lately, hope you plan to release something about it!
Ooooh baby been waiting for this video
How does it feel to hold the power monoshurima held once just recently?
I think it's finally Yasuo/Kat's time to shine not only bc of the new landmark, but because combat feels like it has become important again

Yasuo finally hit his 0/10 powerspike and is ready to carry
For the first time Mogwai dropped a deck that related to Grapplr deck😂😂
Cuz grapplr always made "not-mogwai-dexks"
This deck should of been Katarina fight back meme. All I hear in my head when Katarina is popping off just yelling "fight back."
Weve waited 2+ years for this moment
Can you make us the Kaisa and Evelynn deck? I'm very excited to see that! ❤❤
Intros like this makes me think about the time when Mogwai stops playing LOR and the darker world that we will live in.
I'm shocked by the absence of "Hello there internets, Mogwai here"
Just can't wait for Morgana's release as a Targon stun champion and having deck like Yasuo/Morgana/Malphite - 3/2/1 split
You remember your Zoe Yasuo invoke deck?. Can u update that deck? Cause u r the only guy pair those 2. Yasuo/Malphite also going to be crazzzy
The last game at the end when you screamed BETCH! I swear that's me when I play yasuo
Yup, Mogwai is the creator of THE Yasuo deck. REGULAR CITY YASUO!!!
Everybody knows, that every LoR deck ever is a Mogwai deck. That's just a fact
"We've had Shurima go from Zero to Hero...or should we say, villain?"
So...Shurima went from Nobody to Nightmare.
I love that you say the lines with the champs lol
Everyone wants to be the wind samurai, either in League or in LOR
>I made this deck, just like I made every deck in the game
All true mogwai, very based
