Miss Fortune Deck Guide 2026: Build Data + Standard Decklist

Subject of Legend Research #7 (2026-09-16): one of the smallest samples — 3 records, none in a top 8. Worse, all three ran Sleight of Hand, so the 9/18 banlist forced a full rebuild.
Direct answer
Miss Fortune is a Body+Chaos pirate-crew deck: all 3 records borrow Volibear - Grandeur (2.3 average) for the champion slot while the captain herself sits at one copy; the core — Mobilize, Catalytic Cube, Dazzling Aurora, Deathbloom Predator, Gale, Discord Drake — is a full 3-of set.

Build data: core cards
- Six full-3-of cores: Mobilize, Catalytic Cube, Dazzling Aurora, Deathbloom Predator, Gale, Discord Drake
- Miss Fortune - Captain herself is just a 1-of — a "crew" deck with the captain in the back
- The old 100% list included Sleight of Hand, removed by the 9/18 banlist
Flex slots and findings
- The champion slot isn't Miss Fortune: all 3 records run Volibear - Grandeur (2.3 average) — collectively borrowing the subject of research #8
- Barrage (her signature spell) averages just 2 copies — the least-respected signature spell so far
- The standard list is banlist-compliant: the three Sleight slots became full sets of Challenge, Soulgorger Troll and Stormclaw Ursine
Runes and battlefields
Runes settled: 6 Body / 6 Chaos. Battlefields are the opposite extreme — not a single one appears in all 3 records; Storm Sigil and Wyrm's Nest have 2 votes each; the third slot is undecided.
Sideboard
Cannon Barrage is the unanimous #1 sideboard card (3/3), then Sabotage and Faded Memories. The other version, Miss Fortune - Pirate, is starting to show up in sideboards.
Domain pair
Body
BodyBig-unit beatdown. Average Might 5.1 — the highest in the pool by a clear margin. Unit quality is itself the weapon; straight fights rarely go wrong. Ganking redeploys the army between battlefields. Direct plan: biggest troops, honest fights.
Chaos
ChaosMobile harassment. The lowest average Might (3.8), but Ganking plus Hidden on a cheap curve — it never fights fair. Reposition constantly, ambush, and stretch the opponent’s defense thin. For players who prefer movement over brawls.

FAQ
Is Miss Fortune good?
Currently niche: none of her 3 records made a top 8, and all three were hit by the 9/18 banlist — old lists are no longer legal. The research post's new standard list (Challenge, Soulgorger Troll, Stormclaw Ursine replacements) is the compliant baseline.
What are Miss Fortune's core cards?
Six 3-ofs: Mobilize, Catalytic Cube, Dazzling Aurora, Deathbloom Predator, Gale, Discord Drake. The core overlaps heavily with Volibear — the two legends share a "pirate-dragon" shell.
Why does the deck run Volibear as champion?
All 3 records run Volibear - Grandeur (2.3 average) with Miss Fortune - Captain at just one copy — a "crew" plan where the captain commands and the bruisers fight. Barrage averages 2, the least-respected signature spell.
Which runes and battlefields?
6 Body / 6 Chaos. Battlefields undecided: Storm Sigil and Wyrm's Nest have 2 votes each. The clearest consensus is actually the sideboard: Cannon Barrage 3/3.
