With Swain back in the meta also returns the unwritten rule of slamming you fist onto the desk every time he levels up
EMPIRE ABOVE ALL
same rule also applies to malphite :D
pretty sure he's literally on top of the meta this time.
Don't forget the thumb to the nose before the fist slam!
I wish Mogwai would slam me like he slams his fist in the morning.
"The way we lose this match is by taking too much damage" -Mogwai 2022
When he said that, i was like.. "20 to be more precise"
We all knew this was coming first! Let’s gooo Swain enjoyers rise up
COME ON
VISION
*slams desk*
THE EMPIRE ABOVE ALL!
When Swain kept saying "Victory awaits" he meant it holy crap
This makes so much sense for Swain to become that good after such a long time in the shadows.
Playing the long game is Master Tactician 101.
Considering the aspect of the buffs, It's much less tactics and long game, than burn the fuck out of the opponent and stun any threats.
Fun fact: Katarina actually doesn't have any victory quotes. Whether she recalls herself or not it doesn't matter. The reason for this (confirmed by a rioter) is when they originally designed everything (Katarina being part of the base set) they didn't have it confirmed what lines they needed for every card type. As a result no voicework was done for Katarina for the victory quotes, likely has the voice actress has already recorder her lines prior to the decision to add victory quotes.
Nope she has Victory quotes.
@@jackie12987 No she really doesn't. Feel free to test it yourself. I even played a game against the AI just to confirm that nothing was added. No defeat or victory line when she is on board.
Is that also why Tianna Crownguard is the only Epic card in the game to have her own victory quote?
@@AshleySef08 i remember mogwai experiencing the rare kata victory quote where she says "Next", but looking for the clip is a drag.
@@AshleySef08 i tested it and she does.
Twisted Fate Swain was the deck that used for reaching plat for the first time more than two years ago, it was a Mogway deck. Today I finally reached masters, with this new mog version. I have gone full circle. Thanks Mog!
I have never seen such consistent board clears from Swain before. I hope they don't nerf him too soon.
He's insane, might be the biggest buff ever I lor history, I think they will lower his attack by 1 yo compensate
Revert the Attack or make it 2 dmg on the skill, but don't take away the Overwhelm plz
Swain will almost definitely be nerfed again but Taking away the overwhelm would be just stupid and put us back to point 0 so I agree the nerf will probably be -1 attack or -1 damage to units when he connects and I think that's more then enough to bring him down from Op (atm imo he is way too strong if we just ignore ionia exists) to just really good
@@Nagakara yea that would be a good nerf, would still make him ALOT better before he got overwhelm but not as oppressive but still consistent
@@maamarfaroukbenbada454 I would go for the - 1 damage of his ability, before this buff it was very difficult if not impossible to proc his ability
Man Swain is a true leader I love his voice
These upcoming 4 days will be awesome! Can't wait for the tahm kench episode.
Tis THE EMPIRE SEASON! **slams the table**
I immediately built a Swain deck the moment the patch released. So happy he's back.
I am not really a swain enjoyer but I do love Jhin and Jhin Swain feels like the only viable non agro deck with Jhin.
Your version of viable seems pretty weird
@@chainsawboy2388 You are right, should I say "It was viable, In this years summer" Mogwai made a decklist "lotus control". It was pretty good. Now I lose every game with it.
thank you mogwai honestly. I uped my first master tir rank with you version of this deck it so strong, you are a true genius, thanks again
I actually tried to build an Illaoi / Swain deck since both got buffed, also works really well and is super fun! Pretty sure ur deck is better/more competitive tho
The way Mogwai play: laughing, cursing, enjoying… I recognize myself everytime 😂😂😂
First time ever reaching Masters and I did it with this deck!! Just wanted to say thank you for all the amazing content you put out there for us
Really love to see how YOU liking the deck! So emotional, this one.
Love to see more Swain decks!
THE RETURN OF SWAIN YAYYYYYY I've been playing your TF Swain deck back in the day I'm so happy Swain can finally compete in the meta!
Bahahaha bro I was questioning dropping a comment on your previous video (yesterday) because I knew Swain/Bilgewater was coming... I already made my own version of this deck. Excited to see your version! Glad to see I can *predict* your moves well, your Love of Swain is obvious. Keep up the great content dude!
When I woke up this AM I made this deck and I've literally been waiting today until this video dropped haha
"Don't try that at kid, Home" - Mogwai, 2022
I just hope overwhelm wasn't a mistake, he's been balanced since release.
It IS a mistake and you can't buff cards that relates becuse ravenous flock is already a strong cheap removal and noxian fervor will be abused by aggro harder
I'm glad Mogwai chose to play with Swain right after the patch hits. I love this new buff to the Grand General and also, his artillery barraging ship. 💪
Although I'm really scared that everyone might use him now and he'll be branded as toxic and overpowered, then he might be nerfed into oblivion. ;-;
Swain is fully nuts now lol. I reckon they'll make him a 6 cost, or make his level up harder. The overwhelm makes him represent so much damage its actually absurd, and I don't think 5 mana is a healthy price point for a full-bore must answer card that's like Anivia on meth-crack
0 00
This would have been the perfect opportunity to play your old concept of Swain Yasuo.
Nice deck MegaMogwai, keep making an awesome decks🥰
Can’t wait for Mog to build a Nocturne deck
There's 2 things i always do thanks to Mogwai, snap my fingers and point to the screen when the enemy is about to lose or surrender and slam my fist into my bed with my left hand when Swain level up :D
That 3-2-1 split was shining today!
cant believe it actually happend, but today i faced off the legend himself. for some obscure reason (luck) i actually won the pretty close game.
had to play against your teemo/pyke deck and it was quite the match. would love to see this game "featured" here and since you arent grapplr it might even happen.
still crazy for me, 2 weeks ago i didnt even thought i would ever get higher than diamond 2.
guess it is worth it watching your vids ;)
Man that overwhelm really helps activate Swain's nexus strike effect.
Hatgwai is starting to look like Eminem
Hey Mogwai! I've made a mono SI mistwraith deck with Nocturne and Kalista. It works pretty well and I'd like to see your take on it especially with the changes to Noc
Finally some Swain, thank you for that.
Swain makes me putting more Minimorph and Vengeance in my decks. I just don't want to deal with this monster.
I've been waiting for this, finally
I reached master with this list, thanks bro!
Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷
17:35 Mogwai with the philosophical thoughts :'D
Hey Mogwai! Loving the content! I know Nocturne isn’t that good, but could you make a video on him now that he’s changed? I’m not the best deckbuilder and would love to see your Input!
He already has! You can see nocturne (skin form) as the portrait for one of the decks in the intro.
Finally, table slaming meta
I missed Swain and that "I guess you CAN win them all" ❤️
As a Czech, I am very intrigued by the nocturne deck.
Honestly when I saw patch notes + Overwhelm Swain hell, he gon' be all over the meta very soon
Thanks for the showdown🙏. I guess overwhelm and cost reduction is more fearsome than I thought😃
I don't see a new Ripper's Bay deck in that list... don't let me down, mogwai!
That TF had only around a 5% chance of surviving Riptide Rex. You just rolled a 1 on a D20. PAIN
I feel if they need to nerf him, they should increase his level up condition by a few points and keep his stats and keywords
meh I disagree, that would make swain harder to fit in decks. Reducing the attack back I think would be the best nerf if nerfs are needed
@@mehdisilini7296 swain's effect is pretty strong tho, so maybe is worth building around it. Making it harder to level up will make its strong effect more reasonable.
@@蕭防栓-t1e IMO, prioritizing Swain's flexibility in deck building is better than forcing him to be a build around. I think the champions are most fun when they can fit with multiple regions. Of course that's subjective
Cant wait for a fearsome Nocturne Deck. Finally more then Diana/Nocturne
Can’t wait for that nocturne deck
Swain with that one forge spell from frejlord is fun Ive had mixed success with Swain Gnarr in Frejlord, idk if the concept is viable or not but it levels up swain in one turn xd
Man watching Lee sin nami getting their shit pushed in is so satisfying.
Another Patch, Another Swain Deck, im always counting on you andy
Have you ever thought of making a video on an order of your favorite champs? Would be fun to watch
Now I know why Mogwai want Swain overwhelm...Ravens flock swarming strategy 🤣
Can’t wait for yasuo-swain Deck!
0:15 I noticed a typo in your 4th deck list all the way to the right... it's spelled Snnuy for the shout outs ;)
Now everybody that have never played Swain wants to play him, people that like playing cards because are now stronger are completely jerk. I was playing this archetype since when zoe and viktor were released. Now I understand how you felt when everybody was playing yasuo just because they added the landmark Mog. Love ur content keep it like that.
32:37 his face expression 😂😂😂
Warning: no tables have been hurt during the recording of this video
new alcohol game: every time mog punches down for a swain lv up you take a shot
Hey Mogwai, what do you think about a Shen/Leona deck since Leona now has some barrier synergy ?
At 36:05, why did Mogwai’s Swain hit the Nexus? I thought that as long the enemy had placed his blockers, you can’t hit the Nexus, even if the blocker dies before it is hit.
What am I missing here?
overwhelm?
Overwhelm negates that. Always thought it was a stupid mechanic, but that's the way it works.
@@Dr.DunderPuff overwhelm equivalent trample in magic has been around sense the down of keywords ots one of those mechanics almost every card game gets because it lets big things do something
Amazing deck. I love it. Very funny gameplay
Finally, i havent played swain since the swain/tf meta
Greatest buff in the history of LoR
What if you use jayce and swain in the same deck. This deck idea can turn the new decimate 6 mana from a nerf to a buff because a jayce needs them 6 mana spells to lvl. Cap farron all of the sudden has 16 face damage in hand if jayce isnt answered. Could def be a cool deck with swain PNZ similar to swain ez but a bigger top end
too slow honestly, will really depend on how meta speed settles(also jayce 6-cost spell simply better?). definitely sounds fun though
36:00 There was approximately a 60% chance of Mogwai hitting Swain there, allowing him to win right then and there. He is truly the most skilled player.
-approximately-
hitting the noxus would still win the game. enemy's Swain got stunned and with overwhelm our Swain would hit Noxus wil full power
@@justsomeguywhoneverdies9210 Level 2 Swain's ability only stuns backline
@@FlamyEX oh yeah, it was so long i forgot
Haven't watched this video yet. Just wanted to say that backalley deck is fun af!!! Only diamond 2 but games are exciting each time. Winning helps too xP
This patch is so good. I still think the Decimate nerf was a mistake, but looking forward to messing around with Swain as there's a lot of ways to build him now.
I think I prefer the P&Z package tbh, either with Teemo or Ezrael (or even Caitlyn). Might even be able to work in Funsmith, though Gatalyzer is still better overall. Viktor is also a decent companion.
I'm just not entirely sold on TF (and I'm sick of seeing him at this point lol). Annie and/or Jhin could really be dirty.
A swain deck video? What a way to finish off the day!
Are you going to remake Swain-Zillean? That was an awesome deck
Jhinn has a new deck! Sure its still aggro but Jhinn loves planning burn with Swain!
I think the 1 extra power wasnt needed with how much of a buff the overwhelm represents
23:04 is Mogwai hacking?
Mogwai, why did you delete all of your GWENT playlists? I loved goin back and watching them
Can't wait till next patch when Swain becomes a 6 drop
You can tell how much hyped Mog is about a deck by its review. This said, the distribution here is absolutely a masterpiece. Probably the win condition revolves way too much around Swain who can be easily killed by Vengeance or alikes, but apart from that this deck is well-built and honestly it feels so powerful against regions like Demacia, Noxus, maybe Freljord. Besides removal or recall, this deck looks hard to beat. Bravo!
tried playing the new Swain... servers went down, my game froze and I cant log in again even from my phone
How come Sejuani and Gp both do not have skins ? Plunder always comes back
I’m just confused how impact doesn’t trigger Swain. Am I wrong or should it count for his lvl up ??
Opened a prismatic chest and found a forgotten but cool card: (mistkeepers) Would love to see if you could make a deck around them!
Edit: just realized that the spawned mistwraiths are ephemeral making this card kinda trash 😂 honestly if they buffed it to make the spawned mistwraith not ephemeral I think the card would still be balanced
The Mistwraiths may be good with new Nocturne.
The swain meta is here.
Do you think Swain/Gangplank is Viable?
[I've noticed TF is the top tier flex Bilgewater champ and I understand why, but Gangplank can work with Swain mechanics]
I'm missing Champion cards mostly, not them tho. Any advice on Dreadway vs Leviathan and why? I'm considering maybe running one of each
Just throwing an idea here..
What do you think about Swain bandle city.
There are a lots of pings which can help level him up. AND the best part is that you can use **wallop** for stuns with leveled Swain for surprise kills.
Maybe something like this? (Just built it to show the idea, did not test it)
CQBQGAIDFAXDOAYCAMAQOCIDAUFDDJQB2UAQGAICAMEACBQDBYBQKCQOTAA2GAIDAEAQGKQBAIBQGAIEAMBA
The old version had teemo as other champion, the problem is that cards like conchologist and the one that creates poison darts were nerfed so it might be just a weaker version than this but I think it's worth a try. I was also thinking about jhin
Wouldn't monkey idol instead of watchful idol make more sense? The powder monkeys deal even more non-combat damage which can lvl up swain
can you suggest me a deck that can counter jax and kayn deck pls
I had an idea of Iona + Noxus so I can put quick attack on Swain
Great general mvp of course, but im not into make it rain so probably wait to build something diferent (other cards or PnZ)
why is mogwai not streamming?, somebody knows the answer
And while we're in these colors can we cut TF and run the 4 drop scout and the 4 cost Minotaur for extra FULL turns on their turn? If you run weapon masters you get 2 chances at it too. Just saying.
The toxic 1 Katarina, im glad people are doing that... similar to 1 sejuani when running frejlord decks
Time for Conquest !! VISION !!
lets enjoy it while we can, no way Swain does not get nerfed soon, this buffs are busted
I didn't even wait for the gameplay. I just copied the deck code and played it. It's awesome and I feel disgusted. I love it.
Its really cool that swain is good, but with Ionia being so good atm I really can't see this deck finding a gold place to climb the ladder honestly. Good video tho
0:40 "Swain is my top 3 favorite champions of all time" So it goes 1. Rally 2. Twisted Fate 3. Swain? Seems right to me
Swain is so op rn
ive won with decks 18 out of 20 matches and managed to climb from gold 2 up to Plat. 2 and i am still climbing haha
If this goes on i wont just be able to be plat for the first time at the end of the season I WILL EVEN BE DIAMOND
idk what riot thought when they buffed swain this hard, jesus
Can you make deck sejuani swain deck
Why not play death hand in deck list?
I see Swain, I upvote
I'm a simple man
