@@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
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)
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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
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'!!
@@chip8293 yeah no worries! CMCACAYCDEAQIBYUAICAEBYPAMAQEBQJHEBACAQCBIDACAQIBYIRULBSAMAQCARRAEBAEBIDAMBAGCQU Its mono ionia with 3 sivir, looking for flurry of fists on zed, sivir or bladetwirler, with elusives + syncopation to help get double attack on nexus. It's janky and kinda sucks but is a lot of fun, maybe you can make the core idea work a lot better? Enjoy! :)
@@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
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.
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"
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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."
timmy's unite!
timmy's unite!
YOO SAME
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.
Swain levels up
Mogwai’s desk: My time has come
*our desk
🤣🤣🤣
"Now we're talking" 🤣
Swain’s desk: No, not again...
Last play was insane WP !!
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
@@dankmemes8254 and that's what it makes it fun to play
I think Zilean has a good thing going with gangplank or sejuani.
39:38 this win was CRIMINAL, mogwai couldn't even scream yu-gi-oh cuz not even an anime protagonist can be that slick, jeeesus
300 IQ play
I don't get it, why did he ravenous flock zil? Why did that matter?
@@andreaarmellini2991 to prevent the Sivir level up, which would've given all allies double strike.
@@SaintlyDemon ooooooh right right, man I almost never see her so I actually forgot her ability ahahhq

That last play is very clever! I confused at first but when I figure it out. It makes my jaw drop.
"his role is more of a support champion"
Every lol player in a 10k kilometers radius: *well yes but actually yes.*
Meanwhile full AP Zilean mid with Time Nukes: I'm 4 timelines ahead of you
@@truthwatcher2096 Lord Bjerg style
Until he plays mid….
Baccai says : This cursed life is now my penance
That last game is such a mind blowing play.
That Flock on Zilean was next level, I wouldn't have connected the dots in your situation in a million years!
Love your vids! ♡
The Rampaging Baccai said "This cursed life is now my penance"
Man i hope you stay healthy man,even thought you have health issue, you still uploading, love you and your content ❤❤
I really appreciate you explaining your decks before you play. Really helps me to understand you _and_ the game on a deeper level.
Tbh that last dude's deck was awesome too.

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.
the first guy was so excited to play against mogwai that he forgot how to play the game ahahah
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.
Gotta say that new Zilean emote is so good and funny. Love using that near the end of a game

Yea i was really hypes for this true.
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.
Me:mouthing the intro to mogwai's videos.
Miguel: changing his intro yet again.

im really excited for all the irelia videos to come shes by far my favorite champion in runeterra so far
Wow, great video!! High quality games! I like how you beat that Azir Irelia deck. And that last game was mind blown.
Zilean honestly is the best and most interestingly designed champions I have seen so far, can’t wait to see what crazy combos people cook up with him
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 🤙
40:05 Whoa what? I never knew Sivir could be countered like that, awesome
Edit: nvm I'm dumb lol
Wait i didnt get what happened, literal boomer here

Great archetype, high quality gameplay, loved all the counters and synergies.

I played your deck tonight while waiting for you to upload the video and it was a lot of fun !
You seemed to have so much fun with this, was a delight to watch
Was thinking about this the Moment he Was revealed and I am happy you showcased your take on it as the first Video of the New expansion
Anyone having fun against Irelia and Azir? :D I miss the big dog already
just play scouts lmao
Nasus is a counter deck, actually. Mulligan for Thresh and put the box or wail into your deck.
To be honest it can be bullshit but it's okay in general

Nice play with the Zilean sacrifice.
Caught both your opponent and me off guard
40:02
I can literally heard Dr.Zilean said :" This is the only way "
That last play was sooo good oh my gosh
Ionia Aggro decks..? I didnt think I would hear these words...what a time to be alive
Wow that last play was nuts
Wow the finisher on the last game 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Litrally been waiting for this 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That 9000 IQ play at the end so good
La última jugada increíble, sigue con el buen contenido Miguel se agradece mucho!
"His main role here is mainly support"
Seems pretty accurate to zilean in LoL
Hey man. Interesting games, but the WAY you played them was even more impressive. You are a very good player
it took me a while to figure out why he had to flock his own zilean , very nice play :D
First time seeing a runeterra video. Great to see Mogwai still expending on his favorite cards list. 🤣 dont change! Lol
Me: nice, get to relax and watch a new Mogwai deck after work.
*starts falling asleep*
Mogwai at max volume: OH GODDD F$!/$ YEAHHHH
That last game, thath play... It was so damn GOOD. *Pure delight*
4head play at the end there, amazing.
5head*
Strong grandpa deck right here. So old yet so powerful
I have been waiting for this the moment Zilean got teased.
I am looking forward seeing which decks you come up after this update!
He said that Khahiri is coming so Im Happyyyy
Ending of that last game was awesome man
I love how runeterra developing

I love what this new cards made to the meta. I mean, the Thralls are finally spawnable in Lissandra.
Also the last play was ... omg :O
That last play represents the beauty in LoR gameplay
I cant imagine the pure rage this player had in his last play xD
the last game was so intense
Next level play at the last second
that shurima/ionia deck is bonkers, will probably be plaguing the meta for a long time...
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
Damnnnnnnn that ending was like an Anime Ending 😂

That last game tho!

Old mans unite! I actually had this concept in mind, but I still haven't got Zilean yet
Beautiful! That last play was hot damn
Passage unearned and the box are godsend in this meta. Im not running a single deck without them.
I love Swain thank you for making a new Swain deck
My my! Exactly what I was thinking. Guess mogwai even reads minds!
In already in love with this deck
all i say is zilean with timelines and khahiris and trundle malph god this 2 decks are so fun ;p also nice vid
This probably isn't related to the video but the "Better Nerf Irelia" phrase is actually an Old Meme in the LoL community
