Leona | Competitive | Midrange/Control

This deck's goal is to establish control of battlefields with 2/4 cost units and keep control using various combat tricks and removal. Then in the lategame, close the game out with Eclipse Herald, Leona Zealot, or smart play with the various combat tricks/stuns within the deck. Because the deck wants to establish control early in the game, we run a lot of 2/3/4 cost units that can hold their own with the help of combat tricks. Leona Determined helps crack open any battlefield that has enemies already occupying it, offering an easy source of stuns and buffs. Sona is a very powerful unit in this deck because once she has control of a battlefield, she allows us to have easy access to our combat tricks on the opponent's turn. Because this deck has easy access to buffs, we can run Fiora which becomes a very strong unit once she has a buff applied to her, giving her various keywards on a solid 5 might body. In terms of combat tricks, we run defys, stuns, unit buffs and a copy of Shen to maintain control of the board. This deck is much cheaper to build compared to the most meta decks in the set currently, and you can easily make a budget version of this deck without the Zenith Blades.
