Kennen
Legend · PassiveWhen you play a card from anywhere other than your hand, empower me. [Action] — Disempower me, Exhaust: Give a unit [Assault 2] this turn. (+2 Might while it's an attacker.)
Kennen strikes from the trash. Every card you play from somewhere other than your hand charges Heart of the Tempest, whose [Action] gives a unit [Assault 2] — and his trials teach you to charge it the right way, and to hold the bolt until they commit.

Kennen (post-ban)
7 trials
Runs Kennen, Storm of Shuriken · Barcelona #2, Barcelona #4, Barcelona #5, Singapore #2, Singapore #4, Singapore #5, Singapore #6, Los Angeles #13
The deck that took three of Barcelona's top 5: Kennen's Legend charges whenever you play a card from anywhere but your hand — Nocturne straight off the top of the deck, Lightning Rush from the trash, a spell Fizz replays — and spends the charge on [Assault 2]. Riot banned Stacked Deck on 18 September 2026 for making that dig too consistent. These trials play the list with three Trifarian Captains in its place: a 2-Energy unit that looks at four cards instead of three, still sees Nocturne, and can draw a unit or gear — but not a spell, and never mid-fight.

Kennen (post-ban): Matriarch
3 trials
Runs Kennen, Storm of Shuriken · Los Angeles #13
The real post-ban Kennen list, from Los Angeles: no Stacked Deck — and no Nocturne either. It charges Heart of the Tempest from the trash instead: three Tail-Cloaked Matriarchs, whose [Empower] plays a cheap unit back from your trash, three Shadow Order Disciples that Burn cards into it, and Tornado Warrior, a [Hidden] unit that springs into a fight on the opponent's turn.
