For example, a defensive deck that wants to survive into the late game to play powerful allies and spells wouldn't want to use cards that can't block. If your deck relies on champions like Draven and Jinx, who both make use of discard synergies, make sure to include both cards that require discards to work and cards that play themselves when they are discarded. Each card in your deck should be working towards the same goal. Once you've got a skeleton of a deck idea in place and selected champions, the most important step is making sure that your deck has a cohesive plan. As such, from within your chosen factions for a deck, choose champions that will synergize with the other themes and cards you've chosen for the deck.

Each champion represents a playable character from League of Legends, and they often come with more abilities and can all Level Up, becoming even stronger once you've satisfied a certain condition. You can only have up to six champion cards in a single deck (and only three copies of any given card, champion or no). Different factions' cards work together in different ways: for example, Noxus and Piltover & Zaun might make an aggressive deck with discard synergies, while Noxus paired with the Shadow Isles might be better equipped to make a deck that relies on the spider synergies in some of their cards.Ĭhampions, on the other hand, will be some of the most powerful and synergy-heavy cards in your deck. These factions take the place of classes or colors in other card games, so when building a deck you can only use cards from up to two of the six. The six factions are the rival kingdom of Demacia and empire of Noxus, the frozen Freljord, the mechanical cities of Piltover & Zaun, the mystical Ionia, and the cursed Shadow Isles. The Factions in the game represent different regions in League of Legends setting Runeterra, and so they each have cards and mechanics that fit the overall theme of those places. Each serves an important role in determining what cards you're going to use, as well as what your overall game plan will be. The first thing you'll need to do when creating a new deck is to choose the Factions and Champions that will serve as the backbone of the deck.
