Steadfast, this is what Lorcana deck techs have been missing. Short and sweet, overarching strategies, and multiple options with explinations. So great.
Thank you! The goal is to deliver hours of experience in a 5-minute package. Let me know if there is anything I spoke too much about or too little about. Appreciate the feedback! :)
In my test games, 1 copy of Second Star to the Right has been a great addition to the Merlin bounce deck. Shift Merlin, take Second Star to the Right and immediately sing it with Merlin + some other characters to draw 5.
Super cool deck ideas. And I particularly like your enthusiasm for the Merlin shift version. It’s cool to see creators like you get excited about decks. Thank you for all the content and keep up the great work SF!
Professional video as always!🔥 With the new set I was thinking about building a deck around The Queen "Diviner" and Queen's Sensor Core. I would love to see your take on a deck like this, what do you think?
@ssteadfast what do you think about How Far I'll Go in these lists? Having so many four drops you can play a turn early it's such a powerful song for them to sing and further ramp.
Thoughts on Chicha over Tipo? Personally prefer the Chicha on T2. Then Mickey on 3, Snake bounce Mickey on 4, Donald on 5. Generates lots of ramp and card draw. Plus her support could be useful
I don’t like her as much if you don’t have Fishbone and other ways to ink twice. But I do like that line with her into Mickey. It’s just hard because you are mulliganing for a double uninkable opening. Certainly worth testing though.
Hey Steadfast, dunno if you’re looking back at these comments but I was curious: did you playtest the sapphire 5 drop Donald at any point? Current blurple players are incorporating him in some lists as an alternative bridge to an early endgame and throwing in a few of him has felt pretty good so far. Loving Shift Merlin so far, even if competitive consensus isn’t high on him he is still a very fun card to play and pulling a win condition out of nowhere always feels amazing.
Yes, it's always a possibility. This deck is weirdly similar to a Pokemon deck. In Pokemon you search your deck often and you have to identify what is unavailable and take note. In Pokemon cards can be in your prizes, in Lorcana, in your inkwell.
I think he's a bit too clunky to be top tier. This is why I only want 2 of him - and why I want to share this list. I want other eyes on this idea to see how far it can be pushed or improved. Blurple as a whole has a chance to be top tier depending on how the format shifts because of how flexible you can be with builds.
This is the first in a series of quick but detailed deck guides. Look out for another coming tomorrow and let me know what deck you want to see! 💜💙
Each week you said. Expectations are high! We’re excited for this! I’d like an update or potentially entire new approach on Lemon Lime Control.
Would love to see an updated mufasa or steel sapphire
Would love to see an Amber/Sapphire The Queen deck, I’m trying to build one that also uses Alice/Support characters as well.

The visuals and the break down was an example of how deck lists should be done Job well done!!! Damn!
Thank you! I’m always trying to push the visual quality further.
INVALUABLE guides to building decks for our local scene of Lorcana - Thank you.
You're welcome!
no one in the lorcana game has the same visual quality as yours! GOAT
🥹 much appreciated
💯
As brilliant as Steadfast is, Inkborn Heroes visuals are amazing too!

Excellent video! I look forward to this format in the future with other deck color pairings!
Excelente video, excelente guide. The format and the visuals is very pleasing. Plus every deck variant having a dreamborn link. Kudos
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)
Love this format.
Will be coming back to the channel for more deck guides
I love so much all of your design its so good to watch
Thank you, much appreciated!
Love the visualised openings!
Thanks! Hopefully it makes sense visually. Cheers!
Excited to see more of this series! Also please someone help me with the song at 3:04, it reminds me of the Mario & Luigi RPG games 😭
It's Kingdom Hearts
It's Merlin's Magical House from Kingdom Hearts :D (felt appropriate)
Blurple got me a Stitch back during Inklands, so I’m very excited to see an update to it. Thanks for the ideas!
Nice! It’s very fun right now. Enjoy!
I haven´t touched purple since the start of lorcana. Since saph is my favorite ink, your video convinces me to try purple out for the first time
Purple is great - it's the 1 color that can work with every other color and still perform.
Love this video format and your deck break down!
Thank you! Much love
Great video really nice visuals and explanations and variety of decks. Many content creators could take some notes!
Glad you enjoyed!
My man, these are a godsend
Great to hear! More soon :D
Loving the potential of 🟣🔵 in shimmering skies!

You bet!
Professional video as always!🔥
With the new set I was thinking about building a deck around The Queen "Diviner" and Queen's Sensor Core.
I would love to see your take on a deck like this, what do you think?
I've been testing some Sensor Core decks! I like it in Ruby most.
@ssteadfast what do you think about How Far I'll Go in these lists? Having so many four drops you can play a turn early it's such a powerful song for them to sing and further ramp.
Its a great consideration. I did include it in the Gramma Tala list since it also synergies with Floodborn Tala. It's a great option.
Thoughts on Chicha over Tipo? Personally prefer the Chicha on T2. Then Mickey on 3, Snake bounce Mickey on 4, Donald on 5. Generates lots of ramp and card draw. Plus her support could be useful

Merlin’s House 💕💕💕💕💕💕
a fellow man of culture
Makes me miss pixelborn even more, would’ve loved to see the decks played in a few games n
hello fellow goat appreciator
Howdy brother
with one jump ahead and mickey aren't you worried about inking your one ofs in the deck?
Yes, it's always a possibility. This deck is weirdly similar to a Pokemon deck. In Pokemon you search your deck often and you have to identify what is unavailable and take note. In Pokemon cards can be in your prizes, in Lorcana, in your inkwell.
How can i replace 2x of one jump ahead?
The 🐐
Merlin 🐐
What if Sapphire Emerald deck that goes
T1 Develop or Pawpsicle
T2 Morph
T3 Detective Mickey
T4 Shift Merlin find under the area, sing together Profit
Under the Sea*
I've been experimenting with something like this!
💚🩶 mill :)
It's on my list 🫡
Where did steadfast go? 😢
I'm always in the shadows
I feel like Merlin shift is great in concept but not in execution.
