What do you think about signed contract against steelsong and discard? (let's you draw a card whenever the enemy plays a song)
That's an interesting idea. I'd have to see it in Testing to be sure. I think it will either offset the discard they cause for you OR you might play right into their hands and give them even more cards to rip out and then draw on from Prince John. If you give it a shot let me know how it works.
@@rudrose_tcg Yeah, I have it in a Blue/Green deck that I still need to test. Waited to get some more cards, so I can tets it next week.
The big ursula to stop steel song. Ive always had success with her. And what would be your non budget up grades
When you shift her in she seems really good. Seems so strong against a song deck.
Do you feel there are any changes you could make to improve this deck, without budget in mind?
Would you consider isabella
@@MicaRulz13 Yeah I think Isabella can be great. I nearly put her in several times but I fell into the, Dies to Medusa mind set, lol
Hmmmm you could potentially run the Elsa package. 5 cost and maybe even the big 8 cost that can shift in. Those would push the higher power of the deck although doesn't really fit the low level cost it wants. You COULD try Diablo although I find him to be not AS good if you aren't running the baby one to shift onto. But Diablo is still a pain so maybe he alone is quite good.
The FF14 music brings back memories
It is pleasing to listen to :)
please tell me what site your playing this on?
This is a program called Pixelborn which sadly does not exist anymore :(
The 1 drop Hei Hei saw play on occasion , he ain't the worst
Won my Set Champs with Ruby-Amethyst vs Emerald-Amber Discard in finals 2-1 ! <3 posted to twitter, love the content !
Hooray! Way to go! That can be a tricky match up too! Thanks for sharing!
@@rudrose_tcg The main issue was, I would always get kicked out by green steel coz i throw games or misplay. This time however i crushed Green Steel. I could have won game 1 vs amber emerald, however i did one error - i kept FoToS when shoulda inked it, this led to it getting sniped by ursula, and then YhFM discarded my Elsa fifth spirit, so i had no answer to diablos. Game 2 i had brawl, elsa and Tremaine for john, game 3 HE WAS ON 19 LORE ! 2 kida+ ariel, i had goat +2 minnie, b ut i top deck mim fox, quest to 18, bounce goat play goat for game ! Though he was right, ther e was no reason to not tremaine turn 6, i made things harder on myself really waiting for be prep.
what about people on a low budget? 🥲
@@german8261 I'm told the cheapest decks overall are either Ruby Amethyst or Hyper Aggro. Maybe Brooms now as well? Not sure how pricey Yen Sid is these days.
Unfortunately, the only way to play cheap is with aggro 😢
@@german8261 Yeah the control cards continue to be a bit pricey :( That might always be the way of it, not sure.
If you play discard just know everybody hates you and nobody thinks you’re good at the game.
Haha, Justin said for the last set Championship, you are the villain if you play that deck.
I'm playing Sapphire Steel, cant help myself. Also its just where most of my collection is concentrated lol
I played it for the first month of the season then switched to Red Blue. You always have to go with what you got :) I've never owned a Beast Tragic Hero so I can never truly play Green/Gray even if I wanted to.
Amber Steel Song my girls. Nothing feels better than going Robin Hood on turn 3 and healing him with a Rapunzel on 4 🎉
I think I've only lost a handful of games when you get to shift Robin Hood that early. Card is a beast when he is shifted in.
“What would be the reason you wouldn’t want to take this to a set championship” I really like how y’all delved into the cons of each deck. Given how strong these decks are, knowing their weaknesses is more pertinent than just saying “hey these are strong netdeck these and have at it”. Great video!
Thanks so much! I hope it was useful. I just wish Emerald/Steel had a more obvious weakness haha.
Hard days to be a Saph/Steel player.
Yeah I miss it.
I can't help but feel like the Diablo Steel deck is the best thing to be playing right now. Even in matchups like Sisu on Ice, you can have those openings where you make them discard 2 or 3 cards and now they have no resources, and not enough ink to even play their big cards. The harder part is closing out the game once you've shredded their hand, so knowing when to start questing is super important. I've been loving Ursula and little Diablo to look at their hand and know when the shields are down so I can shift my focus to gaining lore. Deck is crazy
Yeah it's just as unenjoyable to play against as Bucky was for me. If they get the Diablo opening it's pretty much impossible for them to lose. So many times I'm staring at a full board with an empty hand while opponent has 6 cards. Lol I always say out loud, how is this different from last set?
You think scar in red/blue is good coming up or nah?
Justin seemed to like it as a tech choice. Against the right board it's a brutal 2/3 for 1 without losing most of your characters. Still, that uninkable count is already so high :(
U want to win? Play the deck ur good with it!
Can't ever go wrong with what you are the most comfortable with.
@@rudrose_tcg i. Made ma own bluerple Deck and im fine with it.
Amethyst steel is sleeper
Do you like the Jafar wheel version or just a group of good cards for it?
Amethyst Steel? My baby.
Do you run a brooms package or just good stuff general cards?
@@rudrose_tcgim currently on the Jafars New World combo, really wanna compete with it and try to make it super competative. Was fascinated with Amethyst Ruby but quickly shifted to Amethyst Steel when i found Jafar lol
@@CoupleLorcana I adore that deck. Wish I had better luck with it. Lot of Green Steel in my area and it's been struggling into that.
Miller Jose Johnson Christopher Young Steven
really neat deck idea! I am a ruby amethyst player and it's cool to see the colors do some different things, and also who doesn't want Maximus to go off haha question about the main list and your comment about Flynn not pairing well with the chromicons since they trigger at the start of your turn; wouldn't the same issue be with the sword released item, too, in terms of how you're playing it? I would love to sleeve this up and try it out though, I think I like the queen of hearts angle as a pseudo rabbit bounce package, do you think the 2 drop is also needed for shift lines or nah? Also I really like Li Shang and Lumiere a lot, and you mentioned restructuring the deck if that was the focus... would that just be more overall focus on challenging for lore instead of draining, or do you see a version of the same idea you have for stealing lore just different build-arounds with them?
I guess I like sword better since it's an item, so it's much more likely to stick around the Flynn. So you "SHOULD" get use out of it once you get Maui out. But sadly you are right that, it doesn't work well with the Chromicons :( I'd have to think on what to get for Li. I guess maybe you could give up the Taffyta Package but I do like that one. Queen is maybe ok without shift? Although the small queen is good against aggro too!
Check out BDeCandio’s version, runs 4 Mufasa’s and I’ve topped locals with that deck (weekly attendance for my locals is 16+ players and about half of them or more are competitive)
I'll give it a look, thanks for the advice.
Looks like the top 64 in Vegas was a bit similar to your experience at your locals: 18 ruby/sapphire and only 2 steel/sapphire.
I’ve been running three Mufasas and have had amazing results. After you play him you can ink back up to seven, play dime, quest with Mufasa and reset your ink. then you can use dime and still have five ink to play with.
Does he get banished a lot or does he tend to stick around? In the Red Blue match ups every time I bring him down they just counter with a dragon :(
It was mentioned that Muses would send something to hand if it wasn't sent to the bottom of the deck through UTS. Both have a power 2 threshold so how are you sending anything back to hand with Muses after UTS?
In theory you could send one of your own characters back with Muses after an UTS is sung, but yeah I said that weird in the video. If UTS clears the board, Muses won't have anything to hit on the opposing side.
Hey man! What do you think of playing 4x morph instead of the 3 cost clarabelle? It can help with mother gothel shift and you could even sneak a legendary blue merlin in the deck, to fetch UTS or lucky dime when needed. Cheers!
That's a good tech call! The only downside is if it dies before you can shift it's low value but it's cheap and the shift flexibility is really good. I like the way you think.
It's still not that good of a color combination. Speci has been pushing this deck the past week and it did not do amazing especially today, in the London event he took it too. Just does not have a good match up to Ruby Sapphire or Steel Song.
I don't disagree there, although I think this is the best it's looked in 5 sets. But yes you are right, it really struggles in to heavy removal, especially board wide removal. Maybe tech in the 2 drop Ursula to try to pick out some of those songs?
Seen a few Clarabelle bluefassa decks popping up its kinda my style I am going to have to get my hands on some of these cards. Im just getting into the game so building my deck slowly atm as i like ripping packs atm since im new to build my collection up as a whole lol.
I've seen Mufasa do very well in this list. You could definitely find space for him. Welcome to the game :)
Is that Tabletop Simulator? Man you play it so fast - I gotta try playing against myself to learn the interface better
Indeed it is! I have sped the videos up so that you can see the action much quicker. It helps when you learn some of the short cuts and key board commands. It's sadly no Pixel Born :(
I dont know about great. It is super annoying to play against.
Yeah if it gets set up it's frustrating how well it keeps clearing the board.
Last I heard from Clarabelle Cow was she borrowed money from Goofy...
Haha I knew this comment was coming.
❤❤❤
The Dale could have some Chernabog synergy
@@justindavidson3417 nice call, that's a good point.
I have to correct you. The globe/nucleus that Jim Hawkins' holding is actually the map to Treasure Planet.
@@1992disney consider me corrected. I've only seen that film once so I'm not very familiar with it.
@@rudrose_tcg Well you should watch it again because it's an underrated masterpiece. It's way better than you remember.
are you good at this game because you're a great singer?
Thanks man! One can only hope I can play as well as I sing.
We gotta put Pete in this right?
Maybe? Pete is kind of strange as I like him best to stop a Be Prepared. But earlier it doesn't feel like he does as much. Still, when he's good, he's great. I think you can easily find room for him.
@@rudrose_tcg he already has 67 cards . most folks recommend 60 for consistency
So, any good decks with this beast?
Try something similar to this version that uses the new Robin Hood. dreamborn.ink/decks/qdOEOGKR6LLvCL7cBg04
Bro, I am just here taking a look at the mill deck, I did not expect to get serenaded at 14:55 😳
Haha, hope you enjoyed it.
I miss Pixelborn…
You and me both :(
it works better emerald steel with prince jhon mirror, do it again, and tremaine :D
If you are going for pure mill I agree, I think that list is better. I like this one having the Jafar plan and the mill as a back up .
Please use the picture perspective when showing the deckliste😭 I need to See them all to understand what's Happening
Another deck I want to try. You make all of these decks look so fun!
Looks fun! I need something next to my R/B List. Gonna give that a go :)
Let me know if it brings you success!
side note, i think the rock golem (4 cost 4/5 stats with 2 lore) is going to be the way to go in some aggro line ups. Sure it gives them a card, but those stats are tanky. Maybe Purple Yellow?
Yeah that's a fair point, he might be worth using.
Be still my heart. A purple steel deck that also runs over 66+ cards. Love to see it!
Haha, I figured you'd enjoy that.
Great video! Keep it up! :)
Thanks so much!
Milling is an underrated strategy with TCGs. The best part is that it's something you can have running in the background while you pursue plan "A." :)
Jace the Perfected Mind Turbo Mill is still my favorite magic deck. That deck legit only had one win condition and it was to mill you. Very fun :)
19:47 oh the loss of innocence 😢😂
Haha, good catch.
Hey great vid , I have a few questions tho about this deck. First one is what can I sub for Maui ? And second how would this deck do against amber/steel song ?
It will likely get blasted by Amber/Steel Song. I think that's the worst match up for it and I think the only chance you have is if you are running the Be Prepared. Even that is Dicey. To replace Maui you could try Hercules-Daring Demigod, Rafiki-Shaman Duelist, or maybe Super Goof to cheat a little more Lore.
I don't get why Lorcana players are so impacient to get something banned.
Lorcana's mechanics and dynamics are a lot of fun. When you complain about the core mechanics based on personal preference... it doesn't really justify a ban. Bucky was a true menace and you can see the meta open up because of it with all the cards you listed being used since the change. After seeing what's been out there for an entire year, it's a balanced game.
Bucky was a menace because he had ward. They couldve just taken ward and maybe even made him 3 cost but shifting as a requirement as well was too much.
On the Queen’s Castle - it’s clearly a strong location, if not the best in the game, but often I find that it just solidifies an already good position. What I mean is that, rarely does the Castle help you win when your chances are already low. For it to really have significant influence, you need at least 2 characters in the castle when it comes back around to you, unless of course you’re just fishing for 1 particular card to turn the tides. What I mean is that if you’re in a position where you can play the castle, pay to move there, AND have both the castle and your characters survive, you were likely already doing pretty well. The exception being when playing against discard decks with low strength characters, because even with multiple characters on board, they don’t have much removal nor are they strong enough to take out the castle in one turn), and a reasonable chunk of the time against Ruby/Sapphire ramp decks where they are quite weak to locations unless they pull an early Kuzco. I’ve become a big fan of the Library. I find it helps you scrap in more even positions, and preserves your card count in many situations. Being cheaper and having 1 more willpower is so massive. There are a lot of frail characters that you get so so much more out of by dumping them into the library, such as Tipo. It forces your opponent to leave your characters or waste time removing them, just for you to replace your hand. And because it has 8 willpower on a 3 drop, it lasts a while and that 1 passive lore isn’t insignificant. Hard to compare the two because they are so different despite being bulky card draw locations, but I’ve been running Libraries over Castles in certain builds with a lot of success. It’s nice to have a location that often yields immediate value rather than having to wait until it’s “safe” to play. If you play a Castle, move over, and it gets removed immediately, you often just lost the game.
Appreciate the long comment. I think that's how locations in general work in the game. If you are behind, they aren't going to save you or bring you back into it. BUT if you are ahead then tend to put you that much further ahead.
