Keywords (Legends of Runeterra)/Deep

A unit card with keyword Deep.

“	"I was sailing just the other day, Out beyond Bilgewater Bay, When, from the depths, she came my way, the Wing-Eared Sunken Lady..."
	— Ballad of the Wing-Eared Sunken Lady

Deep is a keyword in Legends of Runeterra.

EditWhen a player has 15 or fewer cards in their deck, they become Deep for the rest of the game.

When the player is Deep, Units of theirs with the Deep keyword become sources of an Aura that grants that unit +3| +3 that is active even when in deck or hand.

Notes

"Aye aye, they cried, and set off away,
To see to trouble in fair Nashramae,
But nature, she turned, and many did die,
An' the rest are off to see the all-seein' eye!" - "The All-Seeing Eye"

"They realized the danger too late. The titanic beast opened its gaping maw and surged toward them. The hunters could only wait for death as the endless teeth slowly crunched through their ship."

“	"She swallowed me whole, me skiff and me soul, So I'm singin' this song in her belly, And now I must wait 'til I meet my fate, In the Wing-Eared Sunken Lady."
	— "Ballad of the Wing-Eared Sunken Lady"

• Cards with the Deep keyword have additional text reading "X away from Deep" or "You are Deep" to indicate how close their player is to reaching it.
• The only cards with Deep are Sea Monsters, and all Sea Monsters have Deep.
• Deep is thematically associated with the monsters that roam the seas of Runeterra, particularly the depths around the Serpent Isles and the oceans surrounding the Shadow Isles, and the horror of the impending destruction they bring, and of the unknown or unknowable.
  • Many appear to be corrupted by the Black Mist or The Void.
  • Many of the monsters are large parts of Bilgewater's traditions.
• Strategically, this keyword very heavily synergises with Nautilus, Maokai, and Toss cards.
  • There is an extreme risk of decking out with Deep decks, Nautilus' Level Up can counter it somewhat, and Maokai's can make it more of a risk for the opponent, but it still poses a large risk.
