My Leblanc deck and thought processes

Let me preface this with a few things.

On Saturday, I have a trade set up to get 3x Mirror Image.
I still need to get my hands on another Hook.

This is my current deck and thought process/understanding of the use of these cards. Please feel free to correct me or suggest better options.

1x Leblanc - Good mid-match drop to refill cards in hand through beginning phase death of reflections.

3x Harnessed Dragon - Kill and enemy and get a 6 might unit? Yes please. Also good to Hook the reflections for more big boys.

3x Rift Herald - The Deathknell from a reflection brings any of your big boys (or even a Karthus in some cases, for a little surprise) combined with hook for a pair of big boys coming out.

3x Ruined Rex - Board clear.

3x Glasc Mixologist - Mostly to get my Karthus' back. Good for Hook to get one of my 6 mights out.

1x Vi - I've been using it to help conquer the second battlefield or recover my first battlefield that was taken.

3x Deadly Flourish - Base clear, really good against mirror matches to take out the enemy Karthus.

3x Karthus - This is a staple for Leblanc to blow deathknells up.

3x Black Rose Dignitary - Ramp. Good if going second as first drop or a second drop.

2x Galio - Good for early defense and Hook to get out big boys from reflection.

2x Back to Back - Alway going to have a pair of units at battlefield. 4 additional might has canceled out opponent combat tricks to boost their units. When I get my Mirror Images, these two will be going.

2x Baited Hook - Used to trigger deathknells and get big boys out.

3x Soaring Scout - 2-drop, ramp.

3x Watchful Sentry - 2-drop, draw for ammo for Hook.

2x Hidden Blade - Good to cancel out Gusts giving me the deathknell and two draws. Used super late game to ensure I can get my 8th point where the enemy drawing doesn't matter.

3x Sacrifice - Trigger big boys and getting some ramp+draw.

Part of why I'm posting this is getting advice on what I need to drop once I get my Mirror Images this weekend and the eventual 3rd Hook.

thank you in advance 😄

Hook Leblanc Advice

So, I've been playing a month or so, so I'm still getting the hang of how to play each kind of deck.

I have a lot of the Leblanc Hook cards so I've put together most of hte Hook Leblanc deck and have been playing it without much luck.

I've watched a bunch of videos, but haven't found any solid advice for a few things.

On my mulligan, if I do not have a 2-drop, I mulligan 2. I tend to mulligan my big guys, unless one is a Rift Herald and I have my 2 drop. I get my 2-drop into a battlefield on turn two and summon in my Leblanc or another 3-drop if I have it.

What are my priority mulligans? Should I tend to lean towards dropping my big guys since my Hook should help me find the others in the deck?

Also, any other tips you guys may have I would appreciate.

Oh and a big thank you to the guys who helped me understand tokens played are not played as 'cards.' I think there are some local judges out there that have been misinformed and I hope to remedy that.

Yellow Darius in LeBlanc?

So, I've been messing around with Leblanc, theory crafting a few cards to sub into my decklist.

Something I hadn't considered was Legon cards as there really aren't many at all in the color spectrum I'm using.

I came across Darius and thinking about it, it fits with the Hook and I'm always playing a card on my Beginning phase without energy/power cost. I can surprise attack the other battlefield or instantly reinforce my held battlefield giving the other units +1.

I'm still learning how to deck build in the game, so just looking for constructive input on this. I currently have a pair of Yellow Vi in-deck and would likely swap her out for him. I get the power of the stun she provides, but a reflected version of him gives all units at the battlefield +2 alongside the surprise factor. Darius also doesn't require another unit to be attacking for his surprise like Vi's ambush does. I do realize Vi has the ambush on defense as well, which would be a loss.

Thanks in advance for any input 😄

Server Settings Resetting

So, I rented a server for me and some friends to play on and when I favorite it 'save password' it doesn't save either option. When I leave the game and come back, it's not favorited and the password needs entry again.

I have deleted the config files, reinstalled, nothing seems to work. Anyone have this issue and resolve it?

EDIT: For clarification, the settings not saving is client sode, not server side.

Private Server - Different Instances???

So I'm renting a server so my brother can I can play together and when one of us wants to play we can without both of us being online. Good. Great. Grand.

We bnoth log into the server. Can't see each other. Google it and it says the beginning desert area is instanced. Okay.

We get out of that into the jungle area. At the same place but still can't see each other. Log out, log back in.

Restart Server.

What the hell do I have to do to play with him?

We're both on the same server because we can see each others' typed text.

So, I'm planning on going to the Los Angeles RQ. I have some questions for anyone who has gone to an RQ in the States.

I have a vague idea of how things work, but I'm not clear on a few things.

I've heard VIP is $500, Standard Competitive is $100 andSpectator is like $25. I was told the VIP comes with access to a locker and several Side Event Vouchers, Standard comes with one voucher and Spectator is entry for side events. Is this close to waht you paid?

I've heard that pricing for side events is $15 to $50. What determines the price? Is 2v2 cheaper because both players are paying to enter? I'll only be entering solo side events, because I'm going in alone.

Are Side Events going on simultaneously with the Main Tournament? Are there side events when the Main Tournament ends? How many total side events are there usually? Are there side events all three days?

I've read that the ticket distribution rewards got nerfed and it's harder to get to 40 tickets. Is this true?

I know not every event will be the same, so no answer would bring definitive answers, I'm just trying to get an idea of the general way things work.

Thanks in advance 😄

I chose my seat.
Bro sat to my left.
They started passing out the pre-rift kits.
He pulls ultimate Baron.
If I had chosen the seat he was in, I may very well have been given this card.

I've been playing three weeks now.

In preparation for Unleashed and getting some theory-crafting going for future decks, I've started to create an Excel spreadsheet that can be sorted with many different categories.

My spreadsheet has columns for excess categories beyond just keywords, like unit movement, Trash Draw, etc.

I'd hate to have done all this work if someone's already done it.

Has this already been created and shared?
