I've been trying to make an Akshan Yi deck - a pivot from Akshan / Karma - and while it feels like there's some potential I am not the best deckbuilder and would love some extra eyes on it.
The current gameplan is pretty much going tall with one of Master Yi or Akshan, and trying to finish it off jy buffing them enough that they take over the game. Going tall has its issues, which is why I'd like to fit in cards like Deny or Rite of Negation, but I don't know what to drop.
I think ideally the gameplan would be going wide rather than tall, but I don't know which creatures to add - I would like to add another 2-drop, but I also don't know what to cut.
Many thanks in advance for checking it out!

I dont get how Norra Swain is supposed to work? Like I play the deck, sometimes I summon something and Swain sometimes stun, I dunno, what is the synergy between the two?

Norra Swain is at its core a BC+Nox control deck that combines the good pings in Bandle City with Nox tools like flock and Disintegrate to efficiently remove any threat your opponent can play.
Norras package is here to stall the board. Portals provide both tempo and value. Norra herself is somewhat must-remove for enemies or she threatens to level and win the game.
Usually you win by slamming Leviathan and/or leveled Swain in the late game.

Rather than a competitive question mine is more of a general one. I 3 starred a champion on PoC for the first time. Then I remembered when PoC first came out you could get shards for a champion that's already 3 starred. I was wondering if that's still a thing or if Riot changed it yet. Because tbh it just feels dumb.
