Spellweaver Veigar

Spellweaver Veigar is a slow-roll board: hold your economy at level 5 and dig for Alistar, a 2-cost unit you want at three stars before pushing levels. Tier S is the verdict from 71,432 games at a 4.19 average placement.

Placement-wise that makes it #2 overall out of 57 comps we track and, as one of 2 comps at that grade, ranking 2nd within it, dead level with its tier's 4.18 median. Its 6.1% play rate runs well past 0.9%, the median; assume at least one other player is eyeing the same board.

Build for Alistar before anyone else: sampled lobbies most commonly built Gargoyle Stoneplate, Spirit Visage, and Warmogs Armor; finished versions of that build averaged 3.23. After that, spare components go to LeBlanc.

6 traits run live on the completed board, Spellweaver at 4 the deepest — Elderwood (3) rounds out the core. Note the near-miss on Flora Fatalis, parked at 1 unit just under the next tier, meaning a single Flora Fatalis Emblem buys the comp its 2-piece tier.

Should an emblem land in your lap, Flora Fatalis Emblem does the most for this board, with Defender Emblem the runner-up. On the Flora Fatalis Emblem ranking itself, this comp sits 1st of 51.

This is not the only home for Alistar; Juggernaut Yunara and Invoker Teemo run it too, so the lines contest each other's shops; when Alistar copies dry up, that overlap is your pivot map.
