Aggro Katarina/Zed Legends of Runeterra
This is a decklist for Legends of Runeterra, in case you don't know what is Legends of Runeterra, I invite you to take a look at my previous post where I explain what is Legends of Runeterra and why you should play it.
This deck is one of the fastest decks I've played, it helped me a lot in order to go to Platinum 3, so if you wanna rank up fast and you love playing an aggro deck, I suggest you try this one and let me know how it goes.
The deck's key cards are elusive units and Katarina + some occasional cards that help your units survive or empower them.
Elusive Units
The cards with the elusive ability are the ones this deck is built around. An elusive unit can only be blocked by another elusive unit while it can block any type of unit. So basically, if your opponent doesn't have an elusive unit on the board you will strike his nexus every time you attack with your elusive units.
Not many players play elusives and the majority of the decks don't include any elusive units, (except for the elusive deck obviously).
Another advantage of those units it's that the mana cost is generally very small, so you can build a board very fast and those units are perfect for an aggro deck.
In combination with some spells that give a unit +2 +3 attack, those small units can become devastating and finish your opponent by turn 4 or 5.
Katarina

One of my favorite cards in this game is Katarina,
Her ability confronted with the mana cost is very strong.
She cost 3 mana, has 3 attack and 2 health with "quick attack" but what makes her very strong is the fact that after attacking she is automatically recalled to your hand before taking any damage from the defender. After her first attack she levels up, the leveled up version is what makes her one of the most strong cards. The leveled-up version costs 4 mana and has 4 attack and 3 health , plus when you play her she gives you "rally".
Rally gives you an attack token so you can attack even if it is your opponent's turn to attack, or if you already attacked this round.
But let's take an example so you understand how strong she can be.
Let's say is turn 7 and your opponent is attacking, you play you Katarina + some elusive units cause their mana cost is really low, on turn 8, you attack with Katarina + elusive units, now Katarina will return to your hand and will level up, you play Katarina right away and she gives you another attack token, you attack again, Katarina comes back to your hand again, you re-play her and you can attack for the third time in the same round, that's just insane if you consider that, elusive units can only be blocked by other elusive units, so most of the damage has been taken by the enemy nexus...
Deny

Deny is also very important in this deck, you probably are asking yourself why.
There are many use cases for this card.
First of all board removals, that could destroy your whole board and ruin all of your plans. Against aggro decks, you win easy, but if you also want to win against mid-range decks and control decks you should always include Deny in your deck.
Also as I was saying before, Katarina is a key card in this deck, and she is just a 2 health before leveling up, there are many spells that do 2 damage to a unit, so with a Deny in your hand you could save your Kata or even the game.
There are also other cards in the decklist and those are also important but, I can't be explaining any card, you should just try the deck and see how it works out for you.
