Ravensburger took care of Bucky. Lol!

Clean footage, nice layout and prompts for the cards coming up, and good commentary. Great content. 👍🏻

my solution would be to add small prefix in his ability "whenever this character quests" then the rest of the ability.

Top deck goat is crazy 😂 good games, thanks for sharing

Another nice video! I thought you both played pretty well from what I could see of both folks hands. GGs!

Love the new layout.

Another banger! That overhead camera quality is ELITE 🔥🔥

Great video! Mic quality could be a little better I think, just sounds distant. Love the overlay. Love the gameplay. Hopefully, I can provide my side of the game next time! I would like to see your hand more throughout the game, would be very helpful. Good job on the top decks!

Awesome Video man , I play B/R and sometimes I struggle sometimes against G/S. Just have to ramp asap and pray to the gods. Cheers man.

Let’s goooo glad to see your back to making videos man!! Hope life is treating you well!

I think the answer to bucky, doesn’t currently exist but could. My honest opinion is that cards that need to be discarded to use abilities would make the game more dangerous for the discard decks. Let’s say a franchise enters the game with cards in every or most colors that has an ability like “If this card is discarded banish opposing character 3 cost or less”, or “if this character is discarded is dicarded exert characters with ward until the start of that players next turn”. This wouldn’t fix the cogsworth issue unless your able to discard characters on your turn in order to challenge it but its a start.

Nice video man too bad it was the on night I didn’t go lol

Hate bucky

I like you words about this. I'm in the same way. No card should banned or limited, maybe change(errata) sometimes(what I like way back in the Star Wars CCG). Today everbody say bann bucky in the last Set they wanna have a be prepared bann, or a goat bann or something else. Ravensburger can bring some cards against it. Challenge Ready characters with Rush. Or a Location that make you challenge ready characters sounds also good in may way. Or multicolour cards with nice abilitys. I think there will come another deck and Emerald/Steel don't win every tournaments, there are a lot Ruby/Saphire Decks out there they win many Tournaments. Should Ravensburger bann cards in there? Ice Block? Medusa?

Wife and I played 2 headed giant other day and Bucky/Diablo combo just destroyed us. I was playing red/purple.

Bucky having Ward is fine if there was something he had to to make discard happen. Either he loses Ward, or has to Tap (which would weaken him significantly) or has to have the Floodborn enter tapped. Something. All of the answers to Bucky are so bad, which is the real contention. The purpose of having a meta is that there is dynamic interplay between the cards. Sometimes answers are bad, but they exist. Sometimes strong cards are glass cannons and can be bested by patient players who play well. Bucky really doesnt have any downsides. Very rarely have players been rewarded so greatly at no real expense to themselves. All that being said it created a way more Deterministic Rock-Paper-Scissors dynamic. Meta 3 was pretty wide open with 5 or so decks, now it is only 3. But just know that the Meta is still young, having a villain like Bucky actually creates decks that are designed to beat it. It isnt SOOOOOO good that everyone has to play it. Its got serious flaws. In the past where 1 deck has a huge winshare or prevalence in the Meta everyone just plays it and there is no diversity. In this meta at least 3 decks are being played. Its not perfect but we will see. Namaari doesnt have to enter exerted if you don't want. She just has bad attacking stats, they didnt want to trivialize Ward, and didn't want Namaari to be a 4 of in every steel deck. The biggest problem is these cards are made years in advance, it is possible when Bucky was designed they might have been play testing with different Mulligan rules, or Ward may have functioned differently or Shift cards functioned differently. Or maybe some cards are moved from one set to another, or designed one way to another without tons of testing. The sets are designed, tested, art is sourced, things are templated, proofs are done and then they're sent off to printing packaging and retail.

The main problem with bucky is that its completely unfun to play against and all the worth while answers to bucky are in steel, leaving every other color combination dead in the water

Bucky Bucky Bucky 🌰

steel song is a great answer for bucky, but its 900 dollars lmao

Beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice…. Er wait. Bucky, Bucky, Bucky.

Bucky Bucky Bucky!

It's discard in general. Everyone always has an instant hate for the strategy. I don't think he is ban worthy either. Nothing in this game is there yet.

More importantly, I think you're comments that this deck is a feelsbadman deck and bucky being a "bad" card design is out of hyperbole and emotional reaction than actually seeing the landscape of the game as a whole. 8rack keeps greedy decks, and players, in check. There are holes in emerald/steel package that can be exploited but players inability to get away from their normal builds creates hatred for a deck that punishes them. I personally hated the bounce decks because it felt like you can interact appropriately to those win conditions and lore generations. This is also the same for a lucky dime + Ariel deck currently. This is still a pure rock/paper/scissors meta and seems more healthy than set 1 and set 2 meta overall. Discard keeps decks/players in check, same goes for item decks, or location decks. This doom and gloom is the same thing we saw in set 1 when control was dominant.

Bucky bucky bucky

Nice breakdown. This deck is inspiring!

Update? Lol

Hi! can You link the deck, it's unsaved

Usually not big on commenting videos but yours is too good not to give credits. Information packed but still enjoyable and clear. It clearly stands out from the flood of content created around inkland-updated decks & even lorcana in general. So nice not to have just pixelborn plays with voice over. Looking forward to more video. Cheers from france.

Great video! Kindly turn down the background music a bit 😅

Love this deck list upgrade. I'm more of an emerald/steel player, but this is definitely in my arsenal as well :)

How is the green purple matchup?

Enjoying these videos, great information for all to be had.

RA Gang stay goated 💪🏻

Great video! Just gotta be a smart ass and say that Medusa is clearly sitting on a desk which is definitely not classified as a chair. 😛

Great video, very well explained and clear info, you got a new follower !

Do you think emerald/amethyst will be the next bdif?

Honestly surprised by keeping the minnies 3 drops in. Do you think she's still viable with the new steel dmg options?

Florida historically a very competitive tcg community

😂 i liked the video and it's still at 0

Sick video !

Taris, thank you for making such an informative video! These are the types of details that are lacking far too often. Thursdays at my local store is Lorcana constructed night. I am relatively new to competitive play, I'd say probably 3 months maximum. I took out Maleficent Monstrous Dragon, edited my deck to the same list you have, and went into the night. Ordinarily I'm a notch below the best two players, both of whom are veteran TCG players, and my newish self. So I played the first opponent. He had Amethyst Steel and is one of the two best players. I lost Game 1 because I didn't shuffle beforehand, I forgot I had gone through and everything was in order of cost. But even though I couldn't play anything until turn 3, neither could he, so it's not much of an excuse. Anyway, I then took Game 2 and we went to the deciding match. Here is where your video comes into the picture! On Turn 8 I had 2 or 3 minor lore characters out, like Mim. I played Elsa to freeze his characters. I then realized I was holding Lefou and Be Prepared in my hand! All I had to do was sweat it out and hope that he'd target an exerted character and not Elsa. Which he did. Therefore on Turn 9, I quested all characters. Played Lefou to ready Elsa, and sang Be Prepared. And I ended a very tight battle by using a Merlin Goat to draw Lady Tremaine, who I needed to take out one of his characters or he would win. I look forward to your tweaks with Into the Inklands!

I know your working on holoing out your deck do you think you could make a video if you do I also love shiny decks lol

Very informative video! I'd be interested to see some gameplay should you do a part 2 as I think some players (myself included) learn through gameplay itself. Also do you think replacing elsas with ursulas would work? (Dont have elsas but do have the ursulas).

Let's goooo! That's our boy! Loved this type of educational content! :D

Great video. Just one question Is where you find all of theses 1k tournaments

Appreciate the content man!! Love the insight! Keep it coming!

A bit of feedback. This video is amazing, but I bet it is mostly targeted at new players and you use a lot of terminology. Example is "curve". Might want to explain such terminology in future videos a bit more

You did a great job coming from someone who you beat hope to get a rematch at deck and dice.

Great Info but I always struggle with what to ink... I miss that in your video or are you explaining that and I am not getting it?

When does your shop hold locals
