Official starter
Zed, Master of Shadows
How to play Zed
"The unseen blade is the deadliest."
Zed wants to go in and hit fast. Stay on offense and conquer battlefields. Burn and discard put cards in the trash; Flow plays them again. Shadow Clones are cheap extra bodies for fights they counted as even.
Do not recycle every rune early. Keep two ready once the champion is out so the clone engine does not stall.
