@thetimedoesfly's Rek'Sai confirmed its astounding anti-meta identity this #RCStuttgart weekend and you liked it a lot!
We thought the meta would be overcrowded by Riven and Kennen, hence the meta call. We weren't surprised that Rek'Sai had the second-highest Day 1 to Day 2 conversion rate in the main event.
On the contrary, we were quite astonished by how often those same Rek'Sai lost to Riven. Could it be a different decklist? ๐จโ๐ณ
We know for a fact we play a key card for this, Shimmering Swimmer, which makes the deck highly disruptive against both Riven and Kennen, OTP and OTD, if they don't open with a 3-Might piece on curve (that's why we played 2 Lacerate between main and side, and we've been open to trying a third copy).
From there, you just need to remove a few other pieces, even out the math and close with Decrees.

Played the three big side events at #RCStuttgart on Fri (5-1), Sat (3-4 drop), Sun (5-1).
Matches recap:
Riven 5-0
Kennen 2-0
Master Yi PG 1-0
KaiโSa 4-4
Irelia 1-1 (bricked hard one game)
Azir 0-1
Happy to say the deck literally did what I expected it to do.

1/2
Hereโs the updated list! I just added the Kai'Sa matchup my guide on @Chefs_Formula Metafy.
For the next two weeks of the meta, this list is peak. Vex feels way stronger than Stellacorn thanks to Deflect and her on-battlefield effect. Throughout #RCStuttgart , I noticed I never dropped Stellacorn, even when I had the line. Against Riven and Kai'Sa, putting Stellacorn on board just sets back our game plan.
While Irelia remains the ideal carry in both matchups, dropping Vex on the play vs. Kai'Sa forces an awkward answer. Against Riven, holding with Vex is a great tempo play to disrupt her strategy.
Iโll be adding the Riven matchup tomorrow (hopefully she gets banned though ๐จ๐ปโ๐ณ๐จ๐ปโ๐ณ๐จ๐ปโ๐ณ).

Open decklists mean we know the field before round 1, and we have another hot take for this big tournament.
Disagree? Tell us why!
From our team, @DonCapucinoTCG is on Irelia and @drinknerd88 on Nasus. Good luck to whoever faces them.

@aduig33โs Vex Guide is now live!
Raul took Vex all the way to Top 8 at the Lucca Showdown, and now heโs breaking down the deck that got him there.
If you want to play Vex at your next big events, you should start here ๐
