Ornn strategy
Vendetta Standard · August–September 2026 · Calm / Mind
Game plan
Barcelona champion. Calm-Mind forge value: gear, recycle, and a hold that Kennen cannot burn through in one storm. Two live shells — Blacksmith midrange with Sona/Hwei, and Forge God with Porobot, Time Warp, and a 7/5 Mind split.
Key cards
Sprite Fountain, Guardian Angel, Zhonya's Hourglass, Defy, Discipline, Emperor's Divide, Hwei, Brooding Painter, Scuttle Crab. Forge God lists add Apprentice Smith, Poro Snax, Brutalizer, Time Warp.
Matchups
Favored into default Kennen if you respect the stacked-deck turn. Even with Irelia value. Worse against Rengar and Lucian that score before your gear comes online. Beijing City Challenge posted both Ornn shells in the same 123-player field.
When to register it
Play Ornn when you want a legend that has already beaten Kennen in a Regional Qualifier final and you can sequence gear without flooding.
