@@SaintlyDemon I think it was also to keep Sivir from double striking into his Nexus after killing Zilean. I didn’t know DS didn’t trigger if you remove your blocker but clearly that’s what happened! He would have died if Sivir struck nexus, even without her giving everything double strike
He has another one. Last year he made a played involving a leveled TF and a withering wail and something else. I think he cleared a full board with that. He called it spanish math lol or something like that.
I've actually been playing something similar, with Zilian being used to level/activate Sejuani. It's actually pretty good, particularly in an early meta where so many people are running small, wide, boards of blades.
I think I share your love for Aurok Glinhorn haha I'm so happy I found another use for him in a Irelia/Riven deck, because he synergises very well with all the blades if the opponent chooses to block, setting up for some really cool OTKs :D
Hey Mr. Mogwai. I'm a long time viewer of your content and I do find a lot of your decks vey well crafted and also your game knowledge is immaculate. I'm hoping you do read this comment because I have a deck architype that I would love for you to build so I can tell if it would work the way I think it would. I'm sure you will add your own twist to it and that is the actual aim for you to find a way to make a deck that would work well with this architype. The deck I would like for you to build is Irelia Victor that works off playing 'created cards' and its synergy I've been working on it but id love to see you put your twist to it. Thank you for reading Mr. Mogwai.
@@sanguinedeserter561 By killing your own unit with flock, it will leave a "ghost" blocker. The ghost blocker prevents the unit it blocks except overwhelm from attacking. Sivir's level-up condition is dealing 35+ damage and she is near that level-up however by preventing her from attacking (killing zilean in the process) and leaving a "ghost" blocker she can't attack and not attacking means preventing her level-up thus not providing the enemy units on the board her keywords especially double attack. By doing so, Mogwai was able to prevent himself from dying leaving with only 2 hp and getting the victory in the end.
@@gaiko804 oh thanks for that i just checked the actual effect of sivir and it didnt state "Attack: 'effect' " but instead "While im attacking..." which is kinda wierd but makes sense as well, thanks for clarifying tho
Always nice seeing Mog's videos, as someone who has very little imagination / creativity when it comes to card interactions, it's nice seeing the combos he comes up with.
Okay that last game was really something ❤️ you play this game in a way that I could never understand, I thought you were toast 😂 thank you for the sick content! You're honestly the only person worth watching for LoR games right now
Thank you!! :)) It's a bit janky: mono ionia with 3 sivir. Plan is aggro, using flurry of fists+syncopate for big double attacks to nexus (i pulled it off with zed midgame but wasn't enough)
holy cow, that last game! Truly a testament to your skill and knowledge of the game, Mogwai. Well played, and glad to see your having a good time too! Take care.
Cool to see this region comp working out while swain was an obvious thought i am also interested to see if he offers anything to the nasus deck style as well and it looks like they is a lot of good potential there. Not sure if it will be the best deck but a chip deck is already my first plan so have to wait and see what is discovered while i unlock/craft the cards needed.
@@Hargrovius Lissandra/Trundle with a massive amount of aoes works great too, the box, ice shard, weil, Lissandra can freely block, the key is surviving the early game and slowly level up Lissandra, once you've done that, your opponent spamming 1/1s to attack won't do shit to you
Can I just say that last play so daaaaaaamn good, preventing the sivir lvl up and the spell shield to his units so the scorched earth can go through and aurok highlight
At 22:15 baccai said "this cursed life Is now my penance" baccai are fails shuriman assend. They think it is their fault the ritual fails and blain themselves. They are ashamed and think it's their punishment. That why when Nasus asks "what good comes from mortal greed?" then the 1 drop answers "nothing good if I serve as an example"
Ayy im nugnugs647, good game!! Got so confused with the self-flock, i thought for sure i had it and shen emoted: then saw Sivir not strike, realised and panic emote spammed like 'oh god im dumb, you win gg's'!!

Hi Mog! I've been playing Irelia non-stop this patch and I just discovered that the overgrown snapvine from shadow isles transforms "blade dance" into snapvine themselves. Might give you an idea for a unique irelia deck. Love watching your videos! much love from the Philippines.
Zilean/Ezreal combo works pretty nicely too - Shurima burst spells level up Ez super quickly then levelled up Zilean lets you replicate your damage spells for that sweet slow burn :P
yeah, I ran some "counters" to it like scargrounds, and it is just ridiculous sometimes with a 10/10 sparring student and 5 4/1s just on the first blade dance turn 6 or so
This probably isn't related to the video but the "Better Nerf Irelia" phrase is actually an Old Meme in the LoL community too bad Aurok didn't make the TThumbnail
But of course that’s what needs to happen right now lol. My god they use to nerf her all the time when other things were soooooo busted! Thank you for bringing this back up lol. I say it till this day lol.
Hey Mog, I created a deck with Irelia and Jarvan. Even though I'm trash at deck building, it's been working really well allowing you to attack with Jarvan twice per round as long as you Blade Dance before your attack.
I just encountered this deck and crushed it hard with Malphite/Taliyah. You definitely should play Malphite but not with Yasuo. :P Also, please take your health about our "daily fix". We don't want you to feel forced to upload.
12:33 Spellshield is bugged as fuck. For example, Blighted Ravine doesn't pop the shields, but Ice Shard does. Is too weird if you ask me. Despite of that, thank you for the new content man, keep up the good work! NEW EXPANSION HYPEEEE
MOGWAI I HAVE A GREAT IDEA FOR A DECK: combine Zilean with Katarina!! You play her as a non-fleeting card, you attack with her, she recalls to your hand as a non fleeting card *level up*. Next round you generate her through Zilean as a fleeting card so you're gonna have a non fleeting and fleeting version of her. You play the fleeting version, rally, attack, recall her, play the non fleeting version, rally, attack, recall her and it goes on and on. The thing is that you will always generate another Katarina what will allow you to rally over and over again since you play Katarina as a fleeting card and recall her as a non fleeting one
That last play was f*cking insane.
I don't understand why he has to flock his own unit there? to prevent sivir level up?
@@Buruibuibui yes
@@Buruibuibui and he preserve the sentry to get more damage
@@Buruibuibui every enemy unit would have double attack since sivir leveled up gives her keywords to her allies, so it would have been GG
Regardless of the good counter of mogwai, opponents deck is lit! That deck was fun af
Swain levels up
Mogwai’s desk: My time has come
*our desk
🤣🤣🤣
"Now we're talking" 🤣
Swain’s desk: No, not again...
Zillian in LoR trailer : i must help ionia win the war with noxian
Zillian in mogwai's deck : zillian has changed team
Zilean in a different timeline an ally to noxus.
"You choose the outcome"
Bruh.
Zilean has no true allegiance. He serves icathia first and probably had pity on the ionian defenders.
Teams have been autobalanced
He did nothing to help Ionia, he just saw different outcomes.
It's crazy that as soon as i saw your notification my opponent forfeited the game probably to watch your video. You have the best fans
We need an honor system in runeterra for this exact reason
"oh shit mogwai uploaded! Gotta concede this game real quick to watch it."

Zilean is one of those champs that's kinda hard to figure out, can't wait to see you build lots of different strategies with him
i love the synergy with recall to have 24 time bombs and just burn th eopponent with kahiri as a finisher
He is way to versatile
Yeah I'm gonna build him with Ekko

That last game is such a mind blowing play.
the first guy was so excited to play against mogwai that he forgot how to play the game ahahah
Last game makes it in one of those Top 10 LoR plays of all time.
He has another one. Last year he made a played involving a leveled TF and a withering wail and something else. I think he cleared a full board with that. He called it spanish math lol or something like that.

Nasus is a counter deck, actually. Mulligan for Thresh and put the box or wail into your deck.

"His main role here is mainly support"
Seems pretty accurate to zilean in LoL
Great archetype, high quality gameplay, loved all the counters and synergies.
Huge quality content!
Wow, great video!! High quality games! I like how you beat that Azir Irelia deck. And that last game was mind blown.
Me: nice, get to relax and watch a new Mogwai deck after work.

Hi Mog! I've been playing Irelia non-stop this patch and I just discovered that the overgrown snapvine from shadow isles transforms "blade dance" into snapvine themselves. Might give you an idea for a unique irelia deck. Love watching your videos! much love from the Philippines.
it could cover the blade dances' weakness against nasus/thresh decks that you've mentioned in the irelia react vid.
I'm glad this was the first deck you did for the expansion. I couldn't get my version to run properly so thanks for the advice 🤙
Ionia Aggro decks..? I didnt think I would hear these words...what a time to be alive

Nice play with the Zilean sacrifice.

First time seeing a runeterra video. Great to see Mogwai still expending on his favorite cards list. 🤣 dont change! Lol

Spellshield is bugged as fuck. For example, Blighted Ravine doesn't pop the shields, but Ice Shard does. Is too weird if you ask me.
Despite of that, thank you for the new content man, keep up the good work! NEW EXPANSION HYPEEEE
Blighted ravine is a countdown effect, not a spell. Ice shard is a spell. The spell shield gets poped off by spells, as the name suggests
like the last match, time bomb didnt pop up the barrier.
Only Spells and skills pop spell shield. Blighted Ravine is neither.
I think the 8 mana baccai is suddenly and option for Nasus decks, the 13 slays look quite feasible now
Damnnnnnnn that ending was like an Anime Ending 😂
I try to make two deck but cant optimalize:
-Fast assended: only azir, with many advance
-Solo zilean: kahiri and zilean with zaun
I love swain ❤️...
Yeah the new 1 mana spell from Shurima is bugged. Sometimes it doesn't pop the spell shield and sometimes it goes through the spell shield.
My my! Exactly what I was thinking. Guess mogwai even reads minds!
Yay, Hyped Mogwai is back!
I was thinking that deck was really weird with so many 1 and 2 ofs, but I didnt think about the fact that predict really helps counterbalance that
Mogwai always has this kind of games where he does smth out of the normal
The first champ i bought was zilean and the first deck that cane to my mind was zilean/jinx ,and lemme tell you . Its so good
MOGWAI I HAVE A GREAT IDEA FOR A DECK: combine Zilean with Katarina!! You play her as a non-fleeting card, you attack with her, she recalls to your hand as a non fleeting card *level up*. Next round you generate her through Zilean as a fleeting card so you're gonna have a non fleeting and fleeting version of her. You play the fleeting version, rally, attack, recall her, play the non fleeting version, rally, attack, recall her and it goes on and on. The thing is that you will always generate another Katarina what will allow you to rally over and over again since you play Katarina as a fleeting card and recall her as a non fleeting one
all i say is zilean with timelines and khahiris and trundle malph god this 2 decks are so fun ;p also nice vid
Next level play at the last second
