Tempo Riven Update #1!!
This is where I'm currently at with my testing
Notes:
- Riven Leader ability can lead to nice counter plays
- Can do some cool plays with Tideturner and The Syren
- Irelia has great synergy with this current package
- Didn't want to include the bird
17-1 in testing games vs Kennen (never lost going second 7 times in a row)
new riven iteration has potential
T2 Riven on your T1 unit with a hidden Stranger is nasty. But do not get cute without Defy or Gust in hand. That Gust/Switcheroo crackback will dick you.
If they commit to it and you catch them with the answer it feels fucking free afterward.
I’ve liked having more bullshit purple goodstuff in the list and haven’t missed Sneaky. Also, Hunters’ Circle in the picture is a proxy for Valley of Idols.
Late game, Stranger under Heron +1 is nasty. Flip it for the bounce, Star-Crossed in the same turn, then just play Stranger again next turn.
Don’t forget that Stranger’s on-play lets you pick a battlefield. Stranger doesnt need to be at the battlefield you pick if you are playing it from hand. If they’re trying to hold a battlefield with 4+ total units, sometimes I’ll Gust my flipped Stranger and replay it to bounce one of theirs.
Song vs green deckd also gets to do some nice shit. If they move in and Charm you after the conquer, you can send their unit back to base or into a battlefield you’ve set up to kill it and score.
Charms aren’t necessarily free picks for them.
