I cant help but build my decks around fun character or story themes which always puts me on the backfoot with Meta builds.....ive been working on an Emerald/Steel Villain Treasurehunters theme where the villains go to locations .... didnt go much further than a build but after watching this and seeing the matchups with Amber/Steel and Ruby/Sapphire im now very excited to revisit my build and see where it leads!! 😬
This is exactly why I love this game! Winning with the best meta deck is fun and all BUT being able to build decks centered around favorite characters and fun themes is very rewarding, exciting, and down right fun. I have never been more excited for future sets to be able expand on all my hopes and dreams of crazy deck builds haha
emerald/steel, amber/steel, and emerald/amethyst are tough but still winnable. Those decks all have ways to get rid of crucial cards from your hand as well as control the board in the early/mid game. However, having the extra locations and John Silver to fall back on is pretty nice in those situations.
@@LorcanaLizard okay I played with this deck a lot last night and tweaked it a bunch to my playstyle and I did find the harder ones to be emerald/steel and amber/steel because of early removal. I lost twice to emerald/steel and a red/green deck that focused around other locations and jim Hawkins. But other than that, I pretty much swept all rounds, which was really interesting to see! Incredibly fun deck to play!
That deck is brutal. Seems it's biggest weakness is when playing it self. Then it comes down to who's luckiest
I agree! Aber/steel can be tough too if they are able to discard your key songs with necessities.

Out of curiosity; what ARE your bad match ups and why?

@@ChaoticGoodEats I agree! When the deck does what its supposed to do it feels very strong!
Thought of adding Donald Duck so they draw cards
Donald duck isnt a bad idea!
