Wind Cuts Deep, Shadows Cut Deeper

# Yasuo Tempo-Control **Playstyle:** Tempo–Control Precision ## Description This deck turns Yasuo’s disciplined lethality into a full-board control strategy, blending pinpoint combat manipulation with steady value and calculated aggression. Instead of relying on explosive Might buffs, this list focuses on **guaranteed, protected, repeatable Yasuo attacks** — leveraging movement, stun-adjacent effects, and combat tricks to ensure every strike matters. Going second, you stabilize with **Sunlit Guardian**, **Wielder of Water**, or non-units like **Mask of Foresight**, **Seal of Focus**, and **Stacked Deck**- creating a low-variance foundation that keeps your hand full and the board manageable. You aren’t rushing — you’re dictating every engagement. Cards like **En Garde**, **Discipline**, and **Find Your Center** let you sculpt combat exactly the way Yasuo wants it. Once Yasuo - Remorseful enters the board, the deck shifts gears. **Ride the Wind** and **Zhonya’s Hourglass** ensure that Yasuo attacks safely, turning his “on attack” damage trigger into a reliable removal tool that dismantles the opponent’s key units. Each swing is curated — controlled lanes, forced matchups, and protected attacks that grind your opponent’s board down piece by piece. Your secondary threats — **Sona, Harmonious**, **Mindsplitter**, and **Kayn, Unleashed** — provide alternative pressure if Yasuo is removed or delayed. These champions create tempo spikes or late-game inevitability, ensuring your win condition never rests on a single unit. **Possession** gives you high-impact pivots against tall or overextended boards. Your locations — **Windswept Hillock**, **The Candlelit Sanctum**, and **The Dreaming Tree** — support your shape-shifting gameplan by adding flexibility, sustain, or reactive options throughout the match. This deck thrives when you treat combat as a puzzle, not a brawl. Every movement matters, every spell is a setup, and every attack is a surgical strike. ## Goal Control the pace, shape every engagement, and let Yasuo’s precision carve through your opponent’s board. Win by discipline, not chaos — a thousand tiny reads that culminate in one decisive cut.
