I'd be pretty mad at this. That said the opponent might well know who swim is and can rest assured that this game would be saved for posterity, and actual evidence this needs hotfixing. Hopefully he was too annoyed by it.
someone caught me in this for like 30 min and i just sat there and they finally messed up and i one shotted them with my lee sin. i Spam emoted so hard cuz wtf is that cancer
The only deck I approve of spam emoting when you beat it is azirelia.But if the guy dragged the game out to stall and troll(not rope,just purposefully not ending the game when he can)he deserved it
12:55 If Dragonling blocks the Mighty Poro instead of Curator, Jarvan gets obliterated at the end of combat due to board space. This always happens with Jarvan in swarmy decks.
i think if they nerf the decrese cost card to - draw 3 and reduce the cost by 1 so they need to draw 18 card that gonna mill them - draw 2 cards reduce the cost of currently cards by 1 this turn so it will not effect the create one i mean i love the bird and want to see them more
zephyr sage is not even needed for the combo so thats not the issue. They would probably just make the reduce cost a unique effect per turn, so you cant use it twice in the same turn.
Fount of power could also just say “draw 2 then reduce the cards in your hand by (1)” that would still allow fun combos, different ones but it would keep the opponent from being held in a long absurd combo.
As of 2.18.0, can't summon Navori Conspirator an unlimited number of times. I think due to "Fixed an infinite loop issue where Glorious Evolution would allow a player to summon Evershade Stalker an unlimited number of times.".
I never thought I'd see a combo that attacked the actual player harder than Hearthstone's pre-hotfix Shudderwock. This is a fucking war crime, thank you for posting the video
I was on the receiving end of a similar deck, which included Zilean to create infinite zero-cost time bombs. I let them do their thing until I was at 1 health, at which I surrendered, so in a way I got them back.
Oh man, this reminds me of that time when I had an infinite combo in lab of legends and game crashed after 15 minutes. I was trying to see most damage I can deal.
This videos been out for 20 mins already was forced to play against this, love me so opponent on 1 hp 30 min wait for them to finish the game by a riot employee "Riot Xermac" or something. So thanks for that swim
How do you think they’ll fix this? My Akshan Karma deck is very similar to this which I’ve been having loads of fun with, and don’t want it to get hit.
Note to anyone interested in using this for ranked play: This deck is good against anything that isn't aggro. Which unfortunately is the main meta of this season... Your best bet for going against these tedious EzDrav or ZedTeemo decks is hoping you can recall on their attack. Even getting to that sweet Hoard pop off is still difficult to deal with since Sivir deck's are popular rn so be aware that this deck isn't as easy as swim puts it out to be.
One easy way to hotfix this would be to change font of power to be "give all cards in hand "I cost 1less this round" " this would mean you'll most likely mill yourself before getting zephyr to cost 0 or you'll need thre warlord's horde to start the combo.
There is another infinite combo with Akshan and Karma that can rope forever, playing around the fount of power. It's pretty obvious but when karma flips she doubles fount of power to you can just use it then play second akshan from hand on the akshan on board getting a second Hoard and then discounting it and playing multiple karmas. It gets to a point where all your stuff costs zero and you can just go infinite
It would really suck if they nerfed Akshan’s treasure instead of hot fixing the actual infinite part. Example would be: your cards cost 1 less but not less than 1. Which is considerably worse
Can potentially throw 1 of emperor's dias and a couple of ribbon dancers to make this deck pop of earlier and kill a lot faster. Countered by scargrounds though.
what's preventing you to zephir the lead and follow and use lead and follow to get zephir back to hand and use him on lead and follow, so once you get zephir to 0 you just combo 2 cards without needing to do all the weird solitary monk shenanigans that you did?
well i think if they buff the card to ( draw 3 and your card cost 1 less this turn ) or nerft it like ( draw 2 your cards in your hand and deck cost 1 less) might stop this fukk combo because every unit that return to the hand will be full mana so they cannot infinite that anymore
@@Delkesss but the discounting and drawing gonna limite the cards in the future and even the card that play today like time bomb combo also i am another bird lover i dont want him to be nerft
I played this deck and I've gotta say, its like a performance, if you slow down, your opponent will run out of good-will and surrender. Kinna stressful!
Yo swim this deck has another win condition. If you keep cloning the lee sin spell and just stack the bonus attack on an elusive you can end way faster
Hm random thought provoked by this combo: Maybe Will of Ionia, should ahve been buffed in that it can also bounce landmarks, instead of the return to 4 mana. idk a universal bounce sounds like a neat idea.

Cant you do this deck with the new shurima overwhelm card that replace itself ?
God bless you
@@Grimllord please don’t tell me you actually crafted that card
@@jacopodeldeo4308 its easy when you have all the cards in the game anyways and a shit ton of resources that just stack.
Yes as a free to play too.
@@GamersOdyssey i know but please do not even attempt to put that card in your deck
Remember kids, it isn't hostage if they can surrender
“This isn’t a hostage deck”

Wait hol up how do I have more likes than swim’s comment
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ wut
Swim even took himself hostage with this deck
It's not hostage, it's torturing. Killing them really really slow
I'd be pretty mad at this. That said the opponent might well know who swim is and can rest assured that this game would be saved for posterity, and actual evidence this needs hotfixing. Hopefully he was too annoyed by it.
The opponent could have surrendered at ANY time. Not hostage taking.
Swim undefeated in creating infinite combo decks
You see swim winning here but NO, the opponent who watched the legendary deck in first seat is the true winner
well swim surrendered in the end , so he is actually the true winner
hhahahaha if i found myself seeing this in a game, i would really just let it all happen, its way too fcking epic
@@Unknown-Dysphoria say that when you get caught by this deck for the third time in a day
Yeah and it was in a normal game as well, so this guy has some nerves of steel to sit through this and actually letting Swim pull it off.

Lee sin player yikes
Uses a lee sin otk deck, and then complains about other cancer decks.
loved the noble gesture at the end, nothing like a nice warm hug after being tortured for 3 hours
4:22 The deck is so degenerate "This will get hotfixed by riot in 2 days"....
Also Riot "balance" team:
*Removes Surrender button*
*releases surprise card*
0 mana burst spell from Ionia
Your opponent can't surrender this turn.
🤣😂🤣😂
Calm tf down this isnt league
Did they really remove surrender button?
@@AustinMulkaMusic lol no
Do you think Swim plays poro decks in masters because he too lives in fear of the monstrosities he created
My opponent: *Plays a Zephyr Sage*
Me: "Why do I hear a saxophone...?"
"Eventually, an hour from now Braum will die"
I can hear devs crying
That opponent is such a good sport
that guy is a hero
Swim: breathes*
RIOT: _What have you brought upon this cursed land this time_
Wow, Ionia/Shurima didn't see that one coming!
lmaooooooooooo
12:55 If Dragonling blocks the Mighty Poro instead of Curator, Jarvan gets obliterated at the end of combat due to board space.
This always happens with Jarvan in swarmy decks.
damnnnn so he coulda just killed the jarvan for free, that didnt even begin to cross my mind
Ye I thought the same when he looked at the eye
ow that's cool I didn't notice this. nice catch!
And can sometimes happen in thresh/viego
6:49 Game 1 start
Where's game 2?
I'm 100% certain I've seen Azireilia attack more in one turn than this.
haha yea and with bigger units :D
Hostage deck 2.0!
No matter what you tell me that's literally all I'm seeing. Zephyr Sage is gonna get deleted lmao.
It's not a hostage deck if you kill the opponent
i think if they nerf the decrese cost card to
- draw 3 and reduce the cost by 1
so they need to draw 18 card that gonna mill them
- draw 2 cards reduce the cost of currently cards by 1 this turn so it will not effect the create one

zephyr sage is not even needed for the combo so thats not the issue. They would probably just make the reduce cost a unique effect per turn, so you cant use it twice in the same turn.
@@magumaron9597 probably the second one. makes you wonder why they did it like they did
@@vitvitcher2782 i think they want to make infinite time bomb but they made this instead
I imagine RubinZoo going home from work and play a quick game and queue against this and scream :
SWIMOTHY
Half hour matches is the reason i quit Hearthstone, thank you very much.
Legend for letting him win! Lol
Even watching this video I felt hostage
Huh
Ionia and shurima again
These 2 regions seem pretty good
Both are combo-ey region
*cancer
Poor guy. He just wanted to try a Howling Abyss deck
Omg when I think of it it's kinda sad 😥
He's a hero tho.
I joined mid stream when you were doing this and said to my friend "wait why does Swim have a 0 mana Zephyr?" and he just rushed to watch the stream

Leaked Footage of the Sentinels of Light defeating Viego
There’s 1 counter to this deck
“Radiant guardian”
Concussive palm
Wut
@@critikalthinking how does palm stop it?
you can't block with guardian when it's stunned for the rest of the turn
Darthraider 100 You can get infinite palms before you pop off.
Swim is infinite like the ocean.
When you come across him he'll drag you down and take you hostage in his experiments.
Sick today, laid in bed and watched this to relax and honestly now I feel worse
Wouldn’t an easier win condition be using the 2 mana blade dance unit, solitary monk, and navori conspirator to chain blade dances and win the game?
I managed to fall asleep while watching and when I woke up swim is still holding his enemy hostage.
One day, Riot will _rework_ Zephyr Sage, so it stops cloning cards.
At that point, they can just delete the card ^^
I am pretty sure you can go infinite with 2x Navori, Monk and Blade Dancer.
I love Swim's capacity to think of this kinds of decks
I got into this combo 10 min after you uploaded this.... I litterally opened youtube to check what the combo was about and you uploaded it just then
Way to bully leveled up braum into a scared 1|1 😂
let's just thank this guy for not surrendering
I never thought I'd see a combo that attacked the actual player harder than Hearthstone's pre-hotfix Shudderwock.
This is a fucking war crime, thank you for posting the video
It really is impressive how a deck can both be really interesting and soooooooooooo boring 😁
I swear i need to put volume on max whenever i watch your vids.
I can hear a riot eployee think: oh goddamnit swim's at it again
This is painful to watch. I cant imagine playing against it
That’s the thing, ya don’t.
Yeah, I don't think I would've stayed this long tbh
yea the oponent was a champ
"If you haven't spotted what the win condition is, you'll have to see"

"Don't mind me, just having a stroke here."

After hotfix: Zehphyr Sage no longer copy cards that are created or create other cards.

cant wait to play this as much as possible for the next 30 hours

What a CHAD, Gives the win at the end, love your Decks Swim ^^
Who else’s biggest fear is making an Akshan combo deck and then seeing swim make a video about it and getting hot fixed?
>Riot staff
> sees the word *INFINITE* in a Swim video
> DAMNIT SWIM

Omg look at that Chad. THE CHAD SURRENDER
I lost to a similar infinite yesterday and it was the best unfun experience I've had so far.
Can potentially throw 1 of emperor's dias and a couple of ribbon dancers to make this deck pop of earlier and kill a lot faster. Countered by scargrounds though.
Swim:
guilty for destroying hand-buff chances to exist
death by a thousand cuts literally, really good and crazy combo!
Riot games watching this video:
Uhh boss we have another bubble bear situation
The surrender at the end, was the most chad thing ive ever seen in this game.
This is closest to the Summersaulting cheese factory combo in real-life games
Why not use Sparring Student and Greenglade Duo? Couldn't you boost their attack to infinity with the conspirator combo?
Could maybe add a Sandswept Tomb to this deck for to make the Lead and follows end the game quicker. (If you want to end it faster that is).
Swim: Infinite comb-
Riot: Oh, no, this dude again... Time to hotfix our game.
Swim the pure genius deck builder.
what's preventing you to zephir the lead and follow and use lead and follow to get zephir back to hand and use him on lead and follow, so once you get zephir to 0 you just combo 2 cards without needing to do all the weird solitary monk shenanigans that you did?
This is not hostage deck, this is just another Blade Dance deck without Irelia
ReyBlanco is a legend for this
The opponent be like: SOMEBODY PLEASE END MY SUFFER RIGHT NOW!!
This is a really important service that swim provides.
You need to stop abusing Zehpyr Sage or we'll never get its un-nerfed form back ;; I miss my bird combo deck.
well i think if they buff the card to
( draw 3 and your card cost 1 less this turn )
or nerft it like ( draw 2 your cards in your hand and deck cost 1 less)
might stop this fukk combo
because every unit that return to the hand will be full mana so they cannot infinite that anymore

If you play Irelia in this deck, it’s so much value!
Yuuuuup they're gonna try and do something about the cost reduction bit. This isn't the only infinite combo that I've seen today with Akshan.
Legends say Ray Blanco still in that game
Rey Blanco will live forever as a cool dude who let swim expose a brutal deck. Classy of swim to surrender.
If Darth Sidious played card games: Unlimited Power!
What kind of "Hotfix" would even be done here?
Maybe make Play or Summoned effect for all card can only activate maximum 3 time per round
@@sephaz1248 Not a fan.
Yo swim this deck has another win condition. If you keep cloning the lee sin spell and just stack the bonus attack on an elusive you can end way faster

Sick deck

I absolutely love that you have him the win. It's the least you could do
Swim reaching his peak of degeneracy
1 day later, 10,000 LP lost thanks to plebs trying this combo
Watching this video felt like listening to an entire Yugioh episode narrated by 1 person
The real winner was the opponent who just let swim do his thing.
You have mad scientist hair and you act the part.
Swim loves infinite combos so much he makes infinite videos about them
I'm back after a year, and I'm glad swim's still making infinite decks :'>
props to the madlad that had to sit through this cruel match. you the mvp!
The man who sat through this is an absolute legend. Deserved the shit out of that win lol.
ok but did u need to play a 30 min loop of the run away saxophone solo
Swim's definitely a mad genius and I love it
the deck that makes both players feel so bad that you give the opponent the win
Respect for surrendering in the end, ethical hostage LUL
Oh God please... Not again
