Made a quick video around my Draven list in the Vendetta meta. I think this deck could come back as the Aurora match up is now much better. Talked about some of the new cards and options we will have as the meta shifts. Let me know what you guys think!

My tier list on how strong the mini precon looked for each legend in Riftbound Vendetta. I did also take into account playability of the legend as part of this assessment.

[Ayden @aprman13]

Chaos was especially hard to find a top 3 for, there were so many great cards! Definitely a color worth splashing if you get the right cards.

Good morning gamers, and happy first day of Vendetta Prerift! Here is my suggestions for common and uncommon cards to add to your mini preconstructed deck at Riftbound Vendetta Prerift, based off domain. Most of these will work in any deck regardless of theme, and are just the best cards for pre-rift in my opinion. Chaos and order in the replies.

Happy Vendetta Pre-Rift Day! 🎉

To help you better prepare, here’s a thread with each Preconstructed Deck you’ll find at your upcoming Pre-Rifts! 🧵

@Classyato Thanks! Appreciate the support

Here’s my updated deck list for Draven. I’ve made some changes since the list I posted earlier. Some notes:
- I’m still not 100% sure on twilight Reveler, I think it’s strong but Rek’Sai feels more consistent. Perfect execution also seems like an interesting include in this slot.
- Wind and Ghosts is a possible include in matchups where we’d play Star Crossed.
- I think a different, more aggressive build of Draven exists, and may look into building that.
- The video explains the rest of my thinking on each card, as well as some discussion on possible cards to add depending on how the meta shifts in Vendetta.

@GetKype I’ve been testing it out as well. Lots of 3 drop options now.

[Ayden @aprman13]

@GetKype Rek’sai allows us to play Showboat accelerated. I find this consistently better than Pyke, but he is solid too.

[Ayden @aprman13]

@immakookie Of course! Just posted the video

[Ayden @aprman13]

Gonna make a short video around this deck plus changes I’ve made recently after more play testing.

[Ayden @aprman13]

This is my rough Draven list for Riftbound Set 4: Vendetta. Some notes:

- Perfect Execution seems like possible one of replacement for Cleave. It does what we play Red’Sai for + gives 3 might to the unit. We can play it again from trash, which can also lead to double conq turns. Unfortunately its energy cost may be its downfall.
- I’m like 99% sure that Wind and Ghosts is better than Rebuke, I haven’t play tested it enough, and maybe I need a mix of rebukes and Wind and Ghosts, obviously rebuke has a better energy cost, which might just make it better.
- Twilight step is either the best card in the deck or getting chopped. Early game it’s basically just removal that replaces itself which I’m quite fond of. But it falls off super hard.
- Ocean Drake in SB is super tech, I may even main board one of these. Card is extremely slept on in Draven imo.
- Overall the SB is still a work in progress. I think Brittle Steel may be swapped out for Ravenbloom Perfect. I think this deck has a lot of options for gear hate now.

Let me know what you guys think of this list, and what you’ve been cooking with Draven!

[Ayden @aprman13]

I’ve been playing this deck since Spiritforged, and I’m pretty torn between holding onto it and switching over to Akali. Seems like Akali is popular so i might switch to it just to make content about it.

@xdd1234321 I think it would be a different build. This is closer to a mid range list, Reveler is going to prefer an aggro style.

@gelui3D It’s a game ender similar to Red’Sai where we play our Draven showboat in base and ready him the same turn. Truthfully RTW is a better trick here

[Ayden @aprman13]

@Aberogus I think too many forerunners would be an error. There’s so much bounce removal in purple now.

[Ayden @aprman13]

@StyxRoxx @LordOfRiftTcg So true, but I think @LordOfRiftTcg was referring to illaoi. I’m pretty unsure if that card is better than Reksai. I think they both have pros and cons

[Ayden @aprman13]

@drinkcomber The crock looks crooked! Excited to see him play.

[Ayden @aprman13]

Outside of Akali, are there any other decks you guys are building in Riftbound Set 4: Vendetta?

In a slightly related note; would you guys wanna see my updated Draven list?

[Ayden @aprman13]

@JuiceGGEZ Irelia will Fs still be one of the best decks

[Ayden @aprman13]

@georgismenjoyer @izarzin I think they’re both pretty valid. Jhin feels more combo-y vs ferrous is more consistent. We can’t really build our deck around losing to one card, if we’re playing against Diana we’d just side in our thundersongs.

[Ayden @aprman13]

@georgismenjoyer @Junkcards Tough call, pouty is also still relevant in the gust meta
