Rengar strategy
Vendetta Standard · August–September 2026 · Body / Fury
Game plan
Body-Fury conquer deck. Ottawa's 594-player Showdown went to a 12-0-2 Rengar stuffed with Irresistible Faefolk, Kai'Sa, Survivor, and Thrill of the Hunt. You score early and dare the opponent to hold.
Key cards
Rengar, Trophy Hunter, Irresistible Faefolk, Nidalee, Cat Form, Kai'Sa, Survivor, Pit Rookie, Punch First, Sabotage, Thrill of the Hunt, Rampage. Emperor's Dais / Seat of Power / Star Spring is the Ottawa battlefield trio.
Matchups
Crushes slow Ornn and Nasus. Splits with Yi. Hated by well-timed Defy plus a hold, and by Kennen that storms on your score turn. Barcelona Top 8 is the regional proof; Ottawa is the Showdown proof.
When to register it
Play Rengar in a field that will sit back. Do not take it into a table of Irelia and Akali that never give you the second battlefield.
