On August 26th the time has finally come and Call of the Mountain is released. We can hardly wait to test out new decks and make them into the ultimate weapons of the TCG world.

The maps presented so far leave our Legends of Runeterra experts some hard questions to answer. On the one hand, the Stygian Onlooker with +2/+0 and Fearsome has a super-strong tempo ability and the Doombeast directly steals 2 life from the enemy Nexus with its Nightfall ability, but on the other hand, we are not allowed to play cards in the first round. So how do we gain enough tempo to make the new mechanic work on turn six or seven when you can't just - not play- anything in the late game?
Maybe the plan will only work with the right champion? We can imagine Nocturne joining Elise and Hecarim. After all, who would be better to join Nightfall than Nightfall itself?
Are we missing something? Maybe you already have an idea on how to use Nightfall? Or are you staying on Noxus for aggro decks? Why don't you post on our Facebook or Twitter with how you will make Nightfall playable?
