After wandering through the vast deserts of Shurima all year I must have gone delirious and imagined a utopia full of fantastical Shuriman cars that I could be using instead. As a Xerath one-trick, I know he talks about leg room in one of his jokes so maybe they existed at one point...

ANYWAYS, to celebrate the new year and atone for my mistake, I want to reward the most creative Shuriman Car enthusiasts.

Show me your best Shuriman Car decks, and I'll pick my top 3 favorites at 4:30PM PT tomorrow, January 6, to reward with 1500 coins and a Fist Bump card back each. I will also only use those 3 decks for the rest of the season, and I'll share results once the season ends. Good luck!

Edit 4:30PM PT 1/6: Alrighty folks, submissions are closed and I'm going through with my review! Thanks so much for everyone for making this first week back incredible - you all went so hard on this.

I'll be back with my top 3 favorites momentarily!

Edit 5:30PM PT 1/6 - Winners!

Like searching for a specific grain of sand in the vast Shuriman desert, it was extremely difficult to narrow down my top 3 favorites, but here we go! In no particular order, here are the 3 winners of my favorite Shuriman Car decks:

NoFurtherObligations - I love the worldbuilding here & regional interpretations of cars, extremely creative deck that also looks like a lot of fun to play (even without any supposed “synergy”).

ShadyNarwall - Exceptionally creative acronym and an interesting take on an Akshan/Sivir; though I do not think some of these cards are “cars” the creativity and rationale is :100:

Chimoya2 - Love the detailed interpretation of Azir as a car salesman celebrating the glory days of Shurima, and a great nod to the original cars - horses, chariots, and of course sharks.

Honorable mentions!

There were so many incredible submissions that I couldn't leave with just rewarding 3, so the below will all receive a Fist Bump card back for their contributions; whether for excellent writing, flavor, or just making me laugh way too hard:

-Meej- - Puns on puns on puns, but also managed to stay on topic for the assignment

EspioniIdo - I think I laughed harder at this than any other submission; extremely creative concept.

VasuDeva89 - Love the Xerath environmental sustainability flavor and worldbuilding in this one.

GallowGrim - Another excellent, creative concept around Hecarim & horsepower.

Btrerise - Excellent flavor and tone, great reference to a classic.

FeralRose - Extremely creative interpretation of a “car.”

XodKaniom - Cracked up at the way the deck was put together.

Monkeytender - One of the first submissions, and with some incredible flavor around Ferros Financier.

apiparapuparapapato - Truly kicked off used car salesman voice in the thread in a big way.

TheTapewormKing - Shurima the movie is one of my favorite archetypes, and I’m a big fan of interpreting it as a drive-in experience.

Pasturemaster - Just an excellent pun, gotta appreciate it.

I've got a bit of work to finish up at the moment, but I'll be reaching out to everyone mentioned above to get you your prizes - thanks so much again for making this typo so much fun. I'll be back at the end of the season with a full report on how those top 3 decks perform. Master rank 1 here I come, surely.

This is not your traditional Shuriman Car deck, this is Ascended's Rise Combo.
The plan is very simple, Azir on 3, Renekton on 4 and the funny spell on 5. Feral Prescience is your free slot machine to finding the combo pieces. AND NOW THANKS TO THE BUFFS, YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLAY EITHER 2 SCRYING SANDS, 2 DUNEKEEPERS OR 1 OF EACH AND STILL GET THE ASCENDED RISE ON 5!! Now this is value. And if for some reason you're only able to do it on 7 (and you're still alive), you can also have Rite of Negation backup! Nothing can go wrong! Have fun with it!

I laughed out loud, alone at my desk reading this like some sort of madman because I can't believe how easy it was to hear this reply as if it was from an overenthusiastic car dealer. A strong contender for sure!

Happy New Year! And the team has seen it for sure - I usually just quietly lurk but today I was like "Oh... oh there's a lot of these." and I love it, y'all are great.

I dunno if we'll get enough traction for an actual skin, but I'm content imagining Azir running a shady dealership, summoning a bunch of cars that just disintegrate as they drive off the lot.

Shifting Sands? More like Shifting Gears. Ferros Financier's stretch limo might not seem like the perfect fit for Shurima, but after you've double cast a couple of Shifting Sands with Von Yipp on the field you'll be singing a different tune. The only downside is you might have to manually summon your Forge of Tomorrows, they don't have the Shuriman garage policy.

Now this is the flavor I'm looking for! Another very strong contender right away, you're all way too quick with this.

This thread has made my entire week - I have so many decks to review that I've officially blocked off a slot on my calendar to go over all of them.

Keep 'em coming, I'll consider any submitted before 4:30PM PT today, so 4 hours left!
