2nd/24 Place Skirmish 12/13

Firstly, I was the only Lee Sin player at this Skirmish against probably 12 Kaisas and 6 Yi's. In swiss I went 3-2: R1 - Lost 0-2 to Kaisa R2 - Won 2-0 over Ahri R3 - Lost 1-2 to Kaisa R4 - Won 2-0 over Yi (This guys list was kinda fake though) R5 - Won 2-1 over Midrange Yi Got 6th seed going into top 8 and played: R1 - Won 2-0 over Annie R2 - Won 2-1 over the same Kaisa that beat me in R1 swiss FINALS - Lost 1-2 to Kaisa ): Important takeaways are 1. Spirit Refuge is a waste of a sideboard slot. Unyielding Spirit does the job way better, especially with the 3 Defys in main deck (and the windwall if you don't sideboard it out). Mystic Reversal is gonna be the replacement for it. 2. Charm is such a strong tool against Kaisa, and with Kaisa being so prevalent I think putting 3 copies in the main deck is worth it. Would probably swap Udyr to sideboard for it. 3. Rune Prison is so strong against Yi and you literally just win if you draw it at the right time. 4. Deadbloom is obviously a good card, but it isn't necessary to win. Keep the accelerators for suprises, hold in Grove to get your draw, and keep those combat tricks ready. If I do end up getting my hands on a Deadbloom though... I would probably put it in the deck over a copy of First Mate. 5. I never played against an Aurora list so I can't speak on that matchup, but believe in Adaptotron. Surely he isn't too slow right guys... But yeah thats it. Lee Sin is so underrepresented but has so much potential. Believe in your champ, believe in your deck, and you will make it far. 12/22/2025 Updates: Udyr to sideboard for the 3rd charm has been doing pretty well vs Kaisa. Adaptotron actually isnt too slow if you play it correctly as well (just throw it down the turn before you expect to see Dazzling. This will either scare them from playing it, or you will just kill it on your turn.
