    With all the nostalgia kicking around figured someone might want to have a game of pox using runes from the first 3 sets only.

    That's to say base +sp and st.

    I'll add the ff stipulation only because I really want to see the bottom of the barrel to be scraped.

    You know the truly comical part I have all of maybe 18 runes to use and I'm having trouble picking which runes to cut.

    Unfortunately many core runes have changed at this point so it's not quite the same anymore, but you could probably still do something.

    Incidentally, this did happen awhile back under SOE - we did some drafts with just the early content... it was generally considered very dull - with champions beating on each other for a dozen turns and nothing dying.

    People building their own decks should be fine tho, since you will be able to pick champions with better output, but when it was randomized draft with old champions, most of your deck would have 8 or 9 DMG champions with few offensive capabilities.

    agree on that low damage, i tested against an sl bg was basically trying to 2 and 3 damaging champions to death

    Well my take on it is not so much recapturing the old feelings exactly it's more playing with those old runes that don't usually make the cut anymore.

    But I am seeing a bit of that old meta bleeding into the deck and I love it, I was looking at Jake elder and Jake frost queen as premium picks again and can't deny it brought back the memories.

    It'll be a mix of old and new and unlike when soe did this, under your system the old runes are fairly well done. They may not be competetive in a pool of every expansion but they aren't weak by any means.

    Many of them easily hitting high teens or low 20's with a little work.

    Gahlroon at least is in.

    If you want I'll make a drums deck so we can have a match from that era, to be quite honest I was sad to see Ice carved graves wasn't in the first 3, classic rune from back then.

    Drums of war has all the warbanners so if it can be included that be good

    One reason I stopped before drums was because of the banners, also drums is a fairly iconic set for pox quite a few iconic runes got released in that set

    so what's everyones favorite maps from old pox? figure since we are using old runes we should play on old maps with old layouts lol.

    I can probably handle most of them again for 1 game.

    maybe we'll do four font forglar lol.
