freljord noxus	New Ashe Sejuani	1	Medium	Midrange	Standard midrange gameplan, playing high value units with some swing potential in Frostbite and Reckoning. Close out games with levelled Ashe.
bilgewater piltover-zaun	Ezreal TF	1	Medium	Combo	Either stall until Riptide Rex, or level up Ezreal super fast with Make it Rain for an early kill.
demacia bilgewater	MissFortune Aggro	2	Easy	Aggro	A very aggressive deck that aims to attack as often as possible with scouts.
shadow-isles freljord	Tempo Endure	2	Medium	Aggro	Play for very aggressive pressure with over the top of They Who Endure with Atrocity to win.
noxus bilgewater	New Bilge Burn	2	Medium	Aggro	A very aggressive deck that uses burn damage and Elusives to force out the game.
bilgewater freljord	Tempo Sejuani	2	Easy	Midrange	My version of Tempo Sejuani, plays very much for the midrange gameplan of establishing board value.
ionia freljord	New Kinkou Elusives	2	Easy	Aggro	Use Wayfinder to pull out Omen Hawks, and set up for a kill combo with Keeper of Masks and Greenglade Duo.
noxus piltover-zaun	New Discard Swarm	2	Easy	Aggro	Spam units, go wide, smash huge with Vision and Crowd Favorite to win.
bilgewater freljord	Fizz Combo	2	Hard	Combo	Super fun deck. Mulligan hard for Fizz and Starlit Seer, then stick a Seer on the board and use Entreat and Shared Spoils to pull your buffed units. Win with a big Fizz that your opponent can’t stop.
piltover-zaun ionia	Karma Ezreal	2	Hard	Combo	Stall out the game and win with your levelled Champions. When in doubt, don’t play Ezreal until he’s flipped.
piltover-zaun noxus	New Nox Ezreal	2	Hard	Combo	Discard Draven Axes and Mushrooms to draw more cards with Rummage and Zaunite Urchin, while levelling Ezreal to combo kill.
bilgewater shadow-isles	D E E P	2	Medium	Midrange	Get to Deep super quick and slam huge dudes on the board. Use Fading Memories on Dreg Dredgers, Jaull Hunters, or sometimes big sea monsters.
bilgewater piltover-zaun	New Casino TF	3	Hard	Combo	Cycle through your deck super quickly to level up your Twisted Fate for a win. Use Suit Up on Twisted Fate, Fizz, or Flame Chompers.
shadow-isles freljord	New Warmother's Control	3	Easy	Control	The slowest of the slow decks, stall the game out until you play Warmother’s, and then stall it out some more.
ionia noxus	Yasuo Swain	3	Medium	Control	My current version of Yasuo, stall out games with stuns and recalls, this deck always wins late, so just survive and stabilize.
noxus piltover-zaun	Burn Aggro	3	Medium	Aggro	A bit weaker off the nerfs, old school burn hasn’t changed very much, but is still able to win some games.
piltover-zaun ionia	The Infinite Combo		Hard	Meme	Stall to 10, then Karma, Cloud Drinker, and Puffcap Peddler. Use Counterfeit Copies on Counterfeit Copies and Rummage, and then infinitely play Rummages and counterfeit copies as fast as you can for infinite mushrooms. Lastly, don’t actually play this deck lmao

Aggro:	End the game fast or use the pressure to force the opponent into awkward plays. Kills Combo before they come online, but weak vs decks that play for slower, defensive value (Midrange & Control).
Combo:	Slow deck that prioritizes lategame punchthrough over stall/survival. This usually beats the low pressure Control decks, but without enough defense to survive Aggro.
Control:	Slow attrition deck that tries to out-grind, with optional specific finishers. Out-survives Aggro and Midrange decks, but lacks the pressure to beat Combo decks.
Midrange:	Flexible deck that plays to survive vs Aggro or plays to rush vs Control. Since you want to be a lot faster or a little slower than your opponent, this often has an easier time against Aggro than Control.
Tempo:	Pressure. The idea of playing for mana/board efficiency and forcing the opponent to make low value plays due to pressure. The wincondition of fast decks.
Value:	Long term value, usually represented by card advantage, or who has more cards. The wincondition of control decks isn't nexus health, but their opponent running out of value (cards).

Tips:	Lastly, this isn't just about decks, but handstates. A deck that has mostly slow Control cards can still draw a much faster hand than their Midrange opponent and become the aggressor in that specific game.
