Legends of Runeterra has released a new expansion set, and among that set is a very powerful champion, The Elder Dragon.
The realm of Legends of Runeterra is brimming with powerful strategies and decks, but few rival the sheer might and awe-inspiring presence of the Elder Dragon. Combining ancient powers and formidable creatures, this deck archetype is not just a collection of cards; it's a testament to the overwhelming strength and versatility within Runeterra's lore.
Unveiling the Elder Dragon Deck
The Elder Dragon deck revolves around harnessing the immense power of these legendary beings. Each Dragon card represents not just a creature but an embodiment of incredible strength, unique abilities, and a rich backstory within the game's universe. These supporting dragon cards are all base level 6 mana and so it triggers the effects of dragon boons and reduces the cost of the eleder dragon by 1.
The Champion of this deck is the Elder Dragon itself and once it gains level 2 it will have the most broken ability in the game "I CANNOT BE STOPPED".
I CANNOT BE STOPPED MEANS THE ELDER DRAGON CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE BOARD, BLOCKED OR NEGATIVELY MODIFIED. Once the Elder Dragon levels up its already a win because there is nothing the opponent can do.
Elder Dragon Cards: The foundation of the deck lies in cards shown below:
These creatures serve as the linchpin, offering immense power and synergies within the deck and as you can see it has a very high mana cost, so make sure to finish the game as early as you can when playing against this deck.
Supporting Effects: Complementing the Elder Dragon are supporting cards that enhance their abilities, provide protection and offer strategic advantages. Spells, followers, and other units play a crucial role in ensuring the Elder Dragon reigns supreme.
Here are my Deck Building Tips
Balance and Consistency
Building an effective Elder Dragon deck requires a balance between the powerful Elder dragon, Dragon cards and supporting units. Ensuring a consistent flow of cards to maximize the chances of summoning these legendary beings is crucial.
Synergy Over Quantity
While including multiple high cost dragon cards might seem tempting, focusing on the synergy between fewer Dragons and more "ramping up" cards often leads to a more effective and streamlined deck.
Strategy and Synergy
The key to mastering the Elder Dragon deck lies in understanding the synergy between the cards. Each Dragons typically has unique abilities that can be enhanced or triggered by other cards in the deck. For instance, dragon boons grant bonuses once triggered, some dragons can summon additional units. For now I might try using this deck "as it is" but once I get the hang of its combinations, I will try combining it with different champions like Aurelion sol or Shyvana.
Conclusion
The Elder Dragon deck in Legends of Runeterra stands as a testament to the strength and might within the game's universe. Mastering this deck requires not just an understanding of the cards but an appreciation for the rich lore and strategic depth they bring to each match. Read the lore's as they are rich in story and the history of how league of legends started. Embark on the journey of commanding these legendary beings, and watch as the Elder Dragon reigns supreme on the battlefield, leaving his mark on Runeterra's history.
