Yeah its good, it's about on the level of eternal poro king

Probably above level because you have better burst and removal, and honestly a cheaper numbers grind

The best way to play poros right now is kind of the best way to play anything which is buff and pitch

You buff your cards to demand answers from your opponent and then pitch them to their death

Each time they are running lower on cards lower on resources lower on life

So you'll see this with Nora, Viktor, aphelios, and so they actually grind you out through death

Bard grinds you out through living and that's always gonna be worse

But hey it sure is easy to turbo him eh?

Burst for 4 towards level at 2 mana, for demacia 18 towards level, garen 6 towards level etc

So in that perfect world bard can do work and I like that there are Champs like that in the game

Heckarim is another good example, just swing and close your eyes and sometimes you'll win

Play that siren song and swing and sometimes you'll win

What's your opponent gonna do spend 5 mana on a harsh winds just so they can not die?

Assuming they aren't gonna be competitive with ping spam disintegrate 

I'll always be a champ first player and that's why I'll always be bottom of masters and you know what that's okay with me

Now the actual thing that is preventing bard from.being competitive isn't his board presence, his level condition, or his effect 

It's flock and disintegrate, again these cards are important they will be the only thing preventing siren song from running over the meta in eternal

But it also just happens to be really bad for bard

When your opponent pie tosses (half a card)

And disintegrates bard before you get chimes in, so now your second bard is also doing nothing

So typically that's what happens you snap remove and he can't do bard thing

But if he does do bard things he's not bad

Yeah you can't just play house spider house spider arena dude to simulate the impact of bard cythria

I might have understated bard impact

He lands a chime he a 3/6, you buff with elusive that's a 4/7 he plants more chimes

He trades he dies whatever

You play another, cythria comes down

All of a sudden you're just getting grinded out and you don't even realize it

So yeah bard is doing a little something if you know how to use him

Beyond going wide and providing a small buff

I even thought about using dawnspeakers but it literally didn't trigger once after play so the draw is probably better

It should activate chime give you another unit etc

CUEACAYABYAQKAAMAEDAUGQBAYADAAIGBEOQCBQMAEAQOAAFAYAQAAYGBQNDGNQAAEAQEAAB

Bard is often considered one of the worst Champs in LOR

And that reputation is in some respects well deserved and others not so much

Pros:

He levels easily

Cons:

Leveling doesn't really help you win games

So logically the best Bard decks are decks that can essentially win on their own and Bard is just a supporting piece along for the ride

Obvious synergies with cards like Siren song will be ignored we don't want to be that sweaty 

So what else we got?

Well Demacia basically

Using 6 mana cythtia to buff our full board of junk we don't care about and swing to place chimes deal dmg etc

And single combats allow us to "cash out" on our over stated units

Honestly Bard is probably fine for what he is

He doesn't win games he just gives you a little numbers boost to your midrange deck and thats all he needs to be

I'll appologize in advance for getting a bit sweaty there with Siren song pirate aggro

But sometimes I give the wrong impression

If I'm playing shromes or poros that's just for fun and isn't really indicative of any sucess on your part

I'm trying to make bad archetypes good

So if you want to meme some high value brews I will instantly bring you back to earth with what eternal is truly like

Hope you enjoyed your trip

Yeah yeah I know I've been doing this long enough that I get counter brewed the Milla second I post something 

But that doesn't change the 10 wins that prompted the post

CQCACBYKBEBQKCRRI2TACAYFAQBAMDQGAECAQGI3GQ2TUAABAECQIBA

It's strange some days you play lor and just everything triggers you.

Xolati lands and you dont have answers

Someone turbos a massive lifesteal elusive 1 drop with Siren song

You get aggroed down

You get ramped

You draw dead

Just nothing is working out like some haggard metaphor for life

And sometimes you just get to win all night meming with shromes

Idk I'm done saying x deck is good x deck is bad

I'm fairly certain I shouldn't be winning non stop with 3 ava 3 Corina for otk lethal

But hey whatever if the wins fit

Maybe it doesn't matter that there are 700 people begging for a siren song change

Maybe at the end of the day it just take 1 good r and g day where your opponents don't have the perfect hand state every game

And you get to press buttons, play cards, do the gamer thing

Maybe we all just need 1 good day

I will tell you however what players do care about, aka the people that keep the game alive.

They care that cards be balanced, that Champs be good, that build around wincons matter.

They care if 3 Champs were released that see 0 competitive play

They care if non stop aggression is generally more effective than thought out responses

They care about toxicity and try hard attitudes in the community.

They care about elitism and an unresponsive competitive community and dev community

Generally they care about things players actually care about

Beyond look how hard I can try hard wins against poros in casual que

Anyone can do that

My grandmother could do that

But game balance?

That shit is hard.

Like I said pretty content to throw every game

Doesn't make the current state of things any less true

Like if you think try harding open attacks with every archetype somehow makes you a good player with a larger say?

No that's not the case the siren song fix request is up to 700 likes on reddit

These people don't need to win every game to have their voice heard and I dont either

The fact I'm a masters player is actually irrelevant and the fact I get there without try harding is also irrelevant

I'm just one voice in the crowd

And again yes wow you elusive lethaled me

Don't care

As far as I can tell pretty much the entire reddit community is begging for a balance fix at this point

And while I'm content to just mess around for as long as it takes for Riot to get their act together

I'm fairly certain that not every player is going to share my patient mind set

Mix that with the general toxicity and lack of self awareness of the die hards and you've got a pretty potent cocktail.

Keep in mind I'm a masters player that puts me in the top 10% and I consistently reach that level

What is everyone else thinking I wonder?

Yeah, even if there are better answers for the card in eternal than in standard

even if you win 2 out of 3 games because a lot of deck won't have the tools

that's literally your 60% climb rate

that's what fizz has

and it's all you need

and then once you have your 60% climb rate

everyone elses goes down

and that's all they need to be considered bad

this is whats called a meta warp

There is no world where this card isn't considered polarizing and problematic

it will slot well into pirate aggro in eternal

it slots well in targon

it slots well into poros

it slots well into evelyn

it basically slots into everything

and I bet if you looked specifically at the winrates of opponents who have that early curve into siren song into whatever their woncon is

it will look pretty busted

Omg no joke I literally pulled a self pinging one drop of murrai warden

so when I summoned my husk from siren song it instantly died

and you know what?

I still easily won because a global buff to your deck for 4 mana is literally good enough

the husk is just overkill

maybe that's the fix it buffs but there's no husk on use

that would almost be balanced

until then don't forget to emote spam

thank you :)

https://masteringruneterra.com/meta-tier-list/

rather than saying the obvious like how every single standard deck in LOR is now massively eclipsed by siren song fizz and how we've never seen anything like this before in LOR

where one deck is so lopsidedly dominant that every other deck might as well go home

I just thought I'd build something equally broken for eternal

so we can all suffer together

feel free to use this deck and emote spam after every undeserved siren song win till people start complaining more than they already are

CIEQCAQDAMAQIBQNAECQMAIBAYDB4AIGAMUQCBYGEEBACAYCBQBAEBQWHIBQOAYHBAHAAAIBAIDDO

Before siren song I climbed to masters with a deck just like this

so now I can climb twice as fast in 3 months

again remember to emote spam it's important to spread the good word

of how balanced and appropriate siren song is as a card in LOR

thank you :)

I feel like I'm being John Malkovich

But instead of Malkovhich Malkovich

It's just me getting sodomized by siren song siren song

I can't be the only person on the planet that is like hmmm boiling a 4 year card game down to 1 card is baaaaaad

Oh right there's 500 people who want the same thing as me

I'll be honest I think the game is actually unplayable in its current state

When every deck is just pass pass siren song

Or pass pass siren song siren song 

The games entire collection of cards is irrelevant 

Why even play the game when the devs are dead set on ruining thr balance of their own card game?

Standard winrates have plummeted across the board for every non siren song related deck

Pretty soon in 3 months eternal will follow if nothing is done

And them the game will die

Hey look it's siren song in poros

It's siren song in every deck

Every deck ever

It's siren song

Every single deck

Having fun yet reddit?

You want to know the biggest joke about poro king?

You spend all this mana, and all this time and energy fighting from behind doing everything you can to not just instantly fold with your terrible deck

And then it's like wait no your champion is invalidated by 0 champion siren song spam

So not only did Riot release an underpowered champion they released a spell that simultaneously invalidated it...not in different sets but in the same set!

Sorry I'm not gonna humor you

Everyone knows that 1 drop siren song spam is so far beyond curve that nothing else can compare

Casual 1 mana 7/8 elusive and 7/7 by turn 5

With life steal!

Let me just play my 5 mana 4/4 poro king and pretend it's a fair fight

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Yeah see how the deck flows

Does it's thing

Isn't a piece of garbage?

Yeeeeep
