What Sivir Rewards
Battle Mistress · printed ability
“When you recycle a rune, you may exhaust me to play a Gold gear token exhausted. When one or more enemy units die, ready me.”
Sivir is fun because the Legend ability gives you resource recovery; you can spend hard during your turn and still plan around ready runes for the next exchange.
The Game Plan
Sivir is a resource engine. Recycle a rune to make Gold, trade or kill enemy units to ready her, and use the extra resource flow to fund larger Body/Chaos turns than the opponent expects.
Strengths
Gold generation from recycled runes
Ready trigger from enemy deaths
Strong resource snowball in trade-heavy games
Watch Outs
Gold enters exhausted
Needs recycle effects and enemy deaths
Can be clunky without engine pieces
Turn by Turn
1Early: prioritize recycle effects and stable units over random pressure.
2Midgame: set up trades where enemy units die, readying Sivir after a Gold trigger.
3Late: cash the Gold economy into oversized threats or Aurora-style payoff turns while still contesting battlefields.
New to this Legend? Pick Sivir if you like resource engines where recycling runes and killing enemy units turns into more fuel.

How to Start Playing Sivir
Sivir has no preconstructed starter deck, so this is a singles build — start from the proven list above in the deck builder and trim toward the cards you own.
“At the end of your turn, reveal cards from the top of your Main Deck until you reveal a unit and banish it. Play it, ignoring its cost, and recycle the rest.”
At the end of the turn, Dazzling Aurora reveals until it finds a unit and plays that unit while ignoring its cost.
