Riot Games’ card game Legends of Runeterra is finally here and it comes with an update: "Rising Tide". Time to leave the beta and dive right into the thick of this League of Legends card game. Here are the best starter decks for beginners.
Legends of Runeterra is finally live on PC and mobile. With the new update 1.0, Riot also gives us the new region Bilgewater for the official launch. Bilgewarer adds 120 new maps, including 11 new champions. There are also six new keywords, many cosmetics, card backs and protectors.
Top 5 LoR Starter Decks
The gaming world never sleeps, that's why various streamers, professionals and casual players have already tried out their assembled decks. We collected five promising deck variations for you that promise a perfect start for every newcomer to Legends of Runeterra - at least once you have unlocked the cards... But now you’ll have something to work towards.
Fiora and Fizz #dreamteam
Streamer ManuS has built his deck around the new LoR-Bilgewater champion Fizz and teamed him up for a true dream team with Fiora. A big damage combo

Gangplank and Swain #PiratePower
MegaMogwai also jumped straight onto Bilgewater and cooked up a deck of Gangplank and Swain which promises a whole lot of #PiratePower and if that’s not a hashtag yet, it will be once you frustrate opponents with the deck.

Teemo and Twisted Fate #trollinghard
Saucymailman built a deck around Teemo with the new arrival Twisted Fate. And everybody knows: Teemo is already the king of trolling when it comes to League of Legends, so he’ll be sure to do much of the same on Legends of Runeterra.
No one is surprised, but here's a Teemo deck by @saucymailmanCEBQCAQEBICAEBQLEETDCBIBAQEBSNBVHIBAEAQEAMDAGAQGCEND2AA pic.twitter.com/qLYWGy2m3H

Maokai and Twisted Fate #seamonsterbuild
Twisted Fate was part of another build, this one with the sea monster Maokai. Danger from the deep seas because this one is a mill deck - it will force your opponents to exhaust their decks quickly. So if you’re all about wrestling control from your adversaries, this deck might be for you.
Mill deck? Mill deck!@swimstrim is testing a Twisted Fate/Maokai deck on stream right now! #LegendsOfRuneterra Decklist https://t.co/wP6cABcKvw pic.twitter.com/Ha8AbOE2DY

Nautilus and Maokai #prodeck
Maokai at it again in another mill deck that’s a bit more complex. With this one, timing is everything: You have to consider when Maokai is brought into the game, how your opponent might react… if you’re somewhat experienced already, this deck might provide a new and fun challenge.
