Changes from v2

−Seat of Power +

Seat of Power fails the win-more test (Fundamentals p.34-35): in a 1v1 game it only draws when you already control both battlefields. readies 2 runes after a conquer, so you can attack and still hold up or .

Strategic quality profile

State	high	Fast board
Conversion	high	Gear turns small units into winners
Information	low-medium	Scuttle Crab reveals their hand when it dies
Flexibility	medium
Restriction	medium	Defy, Charm, Hush post-board
Alignment	high
Risk	medium	Wipes (Kai'Sa), bounce (Gust), gear hate post-board

Preferred: v3 over v2, carried by State and Restriction.

Decisive assumption: The meta's gear removal will target your equipment, so Deflect on all your gear is worth two slots; holding up reactions after attacking () is worth more than a draw that only comes when you're already ahead (Seat of Power).

Confidence medium-low · testing sample none

If you observe… (refinement swaps)

Gear is rarely targeted

−2 +1 Lecturing Yordle, 1 Mask of Foresight

Gives up: A 4 Might body and gear protection

Calm Power is stranded

−1 Mind Rune +1 Calm Rune

Gives up: Mind reliability (Sprite Fountain, Aspiring Engineer)

Their cheap spells blunt your conquers

−1 +1

Gives up: A 1-energy Shield 2 equipment

Post-board gear hate wipes your equipment

−1 , 1 +2 Battle Preparations

Gives up: Two equipment; gain a non-gear +2 Might reaction

Targon's readied runes go unused, or you run out of cards while ahead

− +Seat of Power

Gives up: The post-attack reaction window

Try first: R2: Calm carries 21 Power against 8 runes and 3 Seals, so it's the most likely constraint, and it's free to test.

Low-confidence calls

Opponents' game-2 plans for Kai'Sa and Riven are adapted (low confidence); Kennen's is exact.
Two meta lists are carried over from Set 4 (Kai'Sa's guide text, Kennen entirely).
Tokens leaving play don't return (Sprites bounced by are gone); not a confirmed ruling.

Rulings used

Power must match the card's domain (confirmed, 2026-11-06).
Equipment Might comes from the catalog's mightBonus: +3, +1 (+2 more the turn it's attached), +1.
