Lux Deck Guide 2026: Build Data + Standard Decklist
Subject of Legend Research #13 (2026-09-16): the series' least-played legend — a single event record (25th, 4-2). Small sample, but a representative one.
Direct answer
Lux is the series' least-played Mind+Order legend: a single event record so far (4-2, 25th), but a representative one — a "control-and-counter" list with all fourteen main-deck cards at 3 copies, led by Lux - Crown Guard.
Source: research post (2026-09-16) · Data: TopCut HK Hong Kong event deck records
Build data: core cards
- All fourteen cards in the record are full 3-ofs: Comet Strike, Hand of Shadow, Hexbeam, Noxian Allegiant, Time Warp, Daring Poro, Soaring Scout, Noxian Drummer, Overcharge, Recruitment Officer...
- A "control-and-counter" build led by Lux - Crown Guard
Flex slots and findings
- The international "Lux infinite" combo (with Echo - Rewind) was the direct trigger for the 9/18 banlist — but the TC-event Lux list never ran Echo, so the banlist ironically leaves her untouched
Runes and battlefields
Runes: 6 Mind / 6 Order. Battlefields: Holy Barrow, Monolith Peak, Trefilian Barracks.
Sideboard
Fiora - Victorious at 3 is the biggest sideboard gamble; Scavenge and Royal Decree are staples. The standard Lux list is compliant with the 9/18 banlist (TC effective 9/21).
Domain pair
Mind
MindTrap control. The most Hidden cards in the pool — set cards face-down and spring them at the worst moment for your opponent. With heavy Reaction and Vision-driven information, it plays a mind game of unseen threats.
Order
OrderGo-wide synergy. The largest pool (58 cards), with Action and Legion throughout, and Deathknell so losses still pay out. Wins on numbers and synergy — the army gets stronger together, and the opponent’s removal is never enough.

FAQ
Is Lux good?
Cold but not weak: her single record went 4-2 (25th), and the all-3-of control list is highly representative. One record is too small for a verdict, though.
What are Lux's core cards?
All fourteen cards in the record at 3 copies: Comet Strike, Hand of Shadow, Hexbeam, Noxian Allegiant, Time Warp, Daring Poro, Soaring Scout, Noxian Drummer, Overcharge, Recruitment Officer... — a control-and-counter plan.
Is Lux hit by the 9/18 banlist?
Ironically no: the international "Lux infinite" (with Echo - Rewind) was the banlist's direct trigger, but the TC-event Lux list never ran Echo. The standard list is safe.
Which runes and battlefields?
6 Mind / 6 Order. All three battlefields locked in: Holy Barrow, Monolith Peak, Trefilian Barracks. The big sideboard gamble is Fiora - Victorious at 3.
