ALT Main disclaimer reads: "I will also note for the sake of transparency that I have been pretty vocal about thinking that the deck should be banned, and that many people in the community believe this as well. And at this point I think there is enough evidence that Riot will have to take action at some point. I can't speak to Riot's exact plans of course, but my suspicion is that the most likely scenario is that the deck will get banned around the release of Set 5 - similar to the last set of bans before Set 4 that included Pursuer, Climb, and Arena's Greatest. This would be after RQ LA, but before the Regional Championships. So, I would not recommend you pick up the deck if you aren't fine with that possibility. This guide may still be useful and interesting to read, as I talk a lot about the fundamental theories behind how I construct and pilot this combo deck; but the specifics certainly will not apply to other decks if Ekko gets banned."
