The Prancing Sea Spirits are clearly referring to Janna, they live in Zaun and dance joyously when the wind blows (Wind+Water+Joy...Janna and Nilah are really getting married haha) Interesting...another creature related to Janna that has a connection with water. This also emphasizes her identity as Goddess of sailors and her title as Bluebird of the Sea
The Galesong Swallow are also described as being made of water, so I can defintly see the Sea Spirits being tied to Janna at least in terms of narrative/themes as gameplay-wise there's not that much synergy + they are an Ionia card!
As far as handbuff strategy is concerned, there's this ionian spell from the very first set, Sown Seeds, which is one of the first handbuff cards ever printed. I always thought the hands in the pictures were Iverns', what do you think about it? Could he be a possible forthcoming handbuff champion?
Hey Twisted! Nice video, I had a thought about Taloned Stryke the other day, Its usage seems very limited unless in a niche Neeko build, but Could Xayah and Rakan come together as a champ in Ionia with other Vastayan birds? They already printed a bird "commander" in the Royal Shimmerwing.
I think Talon Strike is supposed to be a niche card overall (like Pack Attack and Royal Shimmerwing), the Vastaya don't have animal subtypes in-game so the card probably not teasing Rakan & Xayah 🤔
