Rengar, Pridestalker
How to play : Rengar Pridestalker
The meta's sharpest aggro deck — win the first showdown, then press with bigger threats every turn until the answers run out.
Our take: Worth building
The strongest aggro line right now — it can outpunch anything, but one lost beat and there is no comeback plan.

Deck tech: how to pilot it
This deck asks one question every turn: “how do you answer THIS?” Win the first showdown, take the lead, then send in something bigger until they run out of answers.
The plan
The early game is everything: Inferna attacks as a 3 and beats every 2-might opener, Faefolk drags their unit into a showdown you chose. Ambush hides your real numbers: the not-knowing is the damage.
Mulligan
A keepable hand has turn one-and-two plays: Inferna, Faefolk, Pit Rookie. Two of the three is enough, the draw engine brings the rest. No opener at all is an instant mulligan; never keep for the big cards.
The draw engine
Most aggro decks lose when the hand empties. This one refills while it presses: Kai’Sa, Kinkou Initiate and Nidalee draw as they fight. Play them first when you can; every card drawn is the next punch.
The mid-game punch
Once they turtle, the showdown units come out: Rengar and Darius win almost every trade, Pyke is the one-shot burst nobody counts, and Thrill of the Hunt is the signature. Save it for the showdown you must win.
The weakness
Pure aggro has no comeback plan: behind means losing. So Sabotage and Punch First are never value trades: spend them only when they protect the lead.
