I didn't lose to a single Irelia player at Vegas Regionals. I’m keeping my Set 2 Kai'sa guide free so you can learn exactly how I handled the matchup.

@CasanovaCasts Absolute pleasure to play against you! Learned a lot about the matchup

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

Shout out to @CasanovaCasts for a wonderful Diana mirror in the final round. Learned a lot!

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

Went 8-5 at Vancouver on Diana. Still relatively new to the deck so have a lot of reps ahead of me to prep for Hartford. Close to top 128 but didn't quite get there. Hoping to be better prepped for Hartford 💪

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@Rocklho great runs man! wonderful to meet you at Atlanta!

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@powyzs I'm resia, I'm pretty active in the community discord or if you want DM me feel free!

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@powyzs Yeah sure! Hit me up on discord, I'll be looking at unleashed starting tomorrow.

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@powyzs I think it does, I will be finally looking at unleashed once I head back from Atlanta.
Doesn't hurt to give it a shot

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@housesarebig Congrats bro!
I was the kaisa you beat round 6, glad to see you make the run.

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

Not my weekend. Completely scrubbed out day 1, but my friend @BoulevardTCG made top 8! Congrats to him!

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@RicochetTCG Looking forward to seeing you at Hartford!

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@GeorgeG_TCG You also need a lot of card draw but progress day isn't castable most games, the format has sped up.
Tempo kai'sa doesn't hold up because it gets hosed by the same cards control kai'sa is struggling against.

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

Unfortunately internal testing with kai'sa is the same as the draven and irelia matchup data here. Haven't found the solution yet 😞

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@GeorgeG_TCG Draven moved off of combat tricks to raw stat checks, and they go over the removal too easily. Without reavers the little units don't cheese extra points so you need to up unit quality.
Without obelisk you don't make it to big mana turns without falling behind.

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@RicochetTCG I might have to 😭

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@Eparrav_ The irelia matchup has become much harder without reavers and the fact that they're playing more units. Still figuring out a new build that can deal with it. The heavier units being in the main helps a lot though.

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

Obelisk and Reaver's bans hit hard, so I’m labbing some pivots.

Pushed some experimental updates to the Kai'sa guide—battlefield workarounds and deck tweaks aren't 100% "solved" yet, but it’s a start. https://t.co/EzBSNIuTg5

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@NicktheBass If you're playing targons peak, smokescreen might also be a very good option to try.
I think tempo Kai'sa is a very good version right now. This is much closer to a build worth looking into for sure.
Thank you for sharing!

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@NicktheBass They're just generic battlefields that help unclog hands. The game has sped up and we need to make sure our cards line up much more often now.

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@itzsamleee I do not like shakedown. In all cases my opponent will pick the worst option for me. If I'm playing it because I need cards, they will likely just let a unit take 6. If I'm playing it to try and kill a unit, they will let me draw cards. Tends to not work in my experience.

[Aggresia @aggresiagg]

@stormfire116 Both could be potential options. There's a lot of testing that still needs to be done. Candlelit and Zaun are more "generic" battlefields to help filter out clogged hands which happens more often now since we have less mana to work with in general post obelisk ban.
