Total Cards: 66

It seems a bit... unfocused.

Here are some recommendations for you:

1. Try to hit hard, and kill fast. Leona can pile on the damage in a hurry with her E, and your 14 vitality means you'd better do just that, or you're gonna get your teeth knocked in.

2. Trim the deck to 60 cards. That way, you can maximize the odds of getting what you need, when you need it. Also, you'll find Aggro decks in general run just fine with 60.

3. Try to grab multiple copies of the same card. This allows you to get it more often.

4. Check out the trade lists here. Most of these guys won't try to screw you over, and they'll trade for what you need. If you're not comfortable with that, check out a card site so you can grab some of the cards you may need (I personally recommend coolstuffinc.com ).

As far as the deck itself...

1. 28 attacks is too many, even for an Aggro deck like Leona. 18-22 is more of the typical sweet spot.

2. You have a lot of 2-checks. Try to avoid those, unless they are REALLY good cards.

3. Foundation + low control check (under 4) = usually bad.

4. Try to streamline. Aggro decks usually don't like playing any foundations at 4+ difficulty, and attacks shouldn't be over 6+ difficulty either, unless they hit REALLY HARD or have some crazy effect.

My friend has a brutal Leona deck. If you want, I can ask him to give you a few more pointers.

For starters, try to focus the deck on attacks by the same zone, unless you run Bitter Rivals and cards such as The SIlent Soldier or Razor Bite to see what your next card will be (hey... that gives me an idea for a Life Leona deck now...).

Let me know of an idea of how you want Leona to perform and I could give you more advice. She works well for Spamming and One-Shot kills though (my version is the latter by the way).

...and believe me when I say it works. I play against him all the time.

Well I figured it was too many cards and i'm trying to get "Battle Prowess" from a friend of mine to keep up with her low vitality but I tend to get Gravity Storm up to about 25 DMG every time I use it but i understand what your saying because it always seems to take to long to get to me. Lord Aggro any tips your friend could give me I would be happy to take because i'm always having trouble playing against my friends Nagase Deck and I would love to get this perfected and wipe his smile off his face. Shingyui I do run Bitter Rivals and The Silent Soldier in it and I like 1-Hit Kills too

Well, you heard him, Shinguyi. Lay it on him.

Well, you will have to max on the Bitter RIvals if you plan on running different zone attacks.

But are you planning on running by Life or are you Splashing other symbols in it...? If you need to survive, there is always Rejection (it also has a 5 check).

Seal of DOusing, very bad idea. If its only there for the Water Resource Symbol then its abad idea. If its there for it's effect, its still extremely risky, since teh attack you plan to copy needs to follow resource restrictions. I say take out Seal of Beldam as well.

Tae Kwon Do Strike is also a very bad idea. The amount of damage you will be able to increase is minimum. I recommend getting more Military Discipline (saw them at $3 in eBay, forgot how much at the "magical" UFS site), since your attacks will have the speed bump they need to hit.

As for a kill attack, I recomend you take out Gravity Storm for Tiger Fury. Tiger Fury can hit harder and has a higher check and lower difficulty (on the down side, need tobe careful with the attack zone, since its High).

I also recommend to max out The Silent Soldier and Heidern's Assassination Arts. And if you can, get Origins Unknown; its a staple in Leona.

Will you be running your deck by different zones or will you stick with different zones and change them with Bitter? Also, which resources you will run her off?

Speaking of Military Discipline I just got 2 more of those today only one more to go and I have been looking for more Origins Unknown and i'm going to order Tiger Fury right away after seeing what it does. I was planning on sticking to zone changes with Bitter Rivals and i'm basically running her off of Earth and Fire

Alright. Then in the mean time, I also recommend Cobra Blow (because fo the action mostly). That can create meaningless attacks into One Shot Kill attacks,e specially with Heidern's Assassination Arts, Origins Unknown and Military Discipline.

On a side note, you need protection. Did you concider Amy's Assistance, Rejection, Holding Ground and so on?

(On a side note, I plan to put my build up sooner or later, so you could use it as a small guideline of how you can make it out to be, although the options are all yours)

I was actually considering Cobra Blow too after checking out my friend's copy who runs Anakaris and after looking up Rejection I like it but i'm kinda confused on it does it reduce damage and increase your vitality and i'll look up Amy's Assistance and Holding Ground (I might have seen this before isn't it a Nagase foundation?) later and be sure to look at your build thanks for the advice
