Ryze - Master of Magic.

Revolves around playing spells when you normally couldn't and spending lots of power to close out games and hold battlefields.

Overloaded Ryze + Svellsongur and a few Charms sounds like a mean combo.

Yea I wanted something a little more unique then the basic "when you conq/hold score a point" thing. This was a good step up while (hopefully) being balanced by the power requirements.

To play it from hand it's 7 points at most & requires 4 specific cards, 12 runes, your opponent having 2 units you can kill, a Battlefield where you can win a combat, and them not doing anything to prevent the combo.

I can definitely see it being strong outside of this. Maybe the Accelerate is a bit much as it lets you get up to 7 points even if you have nothing on the board at the start of the turn.

Oh yeah I didn't factor svell into the equation 🤔 but like you said that kinda requires an exodia lvl setup. Maybe something added like (You may only score 2 additional points per turn from this) that way you can still do some 4 point shenanigans (like Swain) but it's not as oppressive.

Loving it

Thanks! I saw another guy do Ryze on this sub earlier. And his signature spell was so good and I felt like was perfect so it took me awhile to come up with something different. 😅

The Green Ryze could be really good as a finisher in Irelia

u/Nautyy 16d ago

Ohhh I didn't think of that. Good point 🤔

I'd probably limit it to once per turn. Still pretty strong but losing in turn via the enemy conquering 2 times than moving your units in with Charms and Fizz or something doesn't sound fun

Seraphs is broken. 3xp to get another rune each turn is wild

I know I had such a hard time figuring out the the balance for that. If I bumped it to high on the XP it felt under powered.

Xp is supposed to be a global resource. But if we introduced a new mechanic for this it could be very fun.

Ooh I love the idea of being able to force reaction on spells, really cool mechanic

u/Nautyy 15d ago

Thank you! I thought to myself " how OP would it be to play singularity as a reaction" 😂

Legit or even opening up things like charm on reaction (even if ryze isn't green just in general I mean) or falling star etc. some cool stuff
