Riftbound Diana Deck Tech: Baron Nashor, Illaoi and ZERO Hwei
Turn 'em Sideways!
9,647 views
Linsanity went 9-2 at the SCG CON Baltimore $25K Riftbound Showdown on a Diana, Scorn of the Moon list unlike any other in Vendetta: no Hwei, three Baron Nashor, two Illaoi, Prophet of the Great Kraken, Soulgorger and Up from the Deep, built to survive Akali's Falling Star and Singularity removal. In this Riftbound deck tech, the RQ Hartford top 4 Diana pilot walks through the Zaun Warrens battlefield plan, the Soulgorger into Baron Nashor turn, the round where two Illaoi hit 18 might, the full sideboard guide, and what Diana should look like now that Stacked Deck is banned.
This list was recorded the day Riot announced the ban, and it runs three Stacked Deck, so it is not legal after September 18. We covered it anyway, because the idea outlives the list: Illaoi is undervalued, and the top Kha'Zix at RQ Singapore was already running the same Baron Nashor and Illaoi package.

The receipt: across every Vendetta event (RQ Barcelona, RQ Singapore, SCG CON Baltimore and four Showdown Series events), 243 Diana decks were registered. 242 of them ran Hwei, Brooding Painter, and 242 of them ran three Stacked Deck. The only Diana without Hwei was this one, and it finished 17th of 949 at 9-2. Three months earlier, linsanity took a different Diana list to 4th of 1,968 at RQ Hartford.

I am fresh testing it, but it is fun and feels like it can hold it's own against some of the big boys of the meta
