I truly appreciate you all! Instead of sleeping, I stayed up all night to record this 😅 expect less sleepy gameplay in the future haha. Decklist: dreamborn.ink/decks/mIM3o6zSwRHEeHzeZHdi
Hey man! Congrats for your channel! I discovered Lorcana 4 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago I watched the interview that u did with Illuminateers. I stole ur decklist, listened carefuly (2-3 times) how u played ur deck and went for my 1st tournament cards ever last weekend. Unbelievable, but i've being able to finish top 4 (over 24 contestants)! Amazing! Tx for helping me and I'll watch all ur content for sure!
I have been spining my own wheels trying to figure out what to do with my "Stitch's Musical Pressure" deck. After about 5 variations, each with its own problems, I had cut stitch out yesterday on the 6th or 7th. I started chapter one saying "I want a Stitch deck" and was really sad making that cut. This deck feels like what I wanted too do with half the builds but without the focus. Love this build, thank you so much. It's gonna be a great starting point going into constructed inklands in a few weeks.
Thanks so much! Pluto is what makes the deck so explosive. Flutes were used as extra reach to close out games last format. But with a more explosive start and bear necessities keeping Be Prepareds in check, I haven't felt the need for flutes so far in set 3. Appreciate the comment!
Yo man! I am super happy that you started a channel! I have been looking for a dedicated steel song player to follow and you are it! Keep up the great work!
@@LorcanaCastle Yeah, the livestream was super fun and it was great to meet you! Also, over 200 subscribers in 1 day is incredible!! 👏👏 It took me like 5 months to get my first 100 subs, so hats off to you!! I’m excited to see where your content goes from here!
love the vid! just subbed 😊 quick question, how have you been doing against emerald? I’ve been having a tough time with it since Ursula is just discarding my AWNW turn 2… been a tough matchup for steelsong
@LorcanaCastle I've been keeping an eye on it. I need to really dive in through Pixelborn soon and maybe physical later. I've been looking at Emerald/Steel
I'm interested to see how this list fares against the new Ursula-focused tempo lists and the new Ruby/Am locations lists I'm seeing on ladder. Great gameplay!
My stats show 6-3 against Emerald/Steel and 3-0 against Emerald/Amethyst. The games are always tough! Haven't lost to Ruby/Amethyst either, that match up has felt great with Bare Necessities stripping them of Be Prepared
Loved this. I was debating between pluto and lantern since they have same job. Lantern can be used the turn you play it and pluto have to wait until next turn... decisions... could your next video be an amethyst/amber aggro deck?
Hello Zach! I know you are playing another deck at this moment but is that possible to upload some games vs bounce control with commentary? Im struggling against those and my LGS is infested by them. Best regards!
sheriff + green beast and location is nuts, i thought jafar whole new world was nuts, steel song seems consistent tho, along came zeus is pretty clutch
It can be for sure. It's died off at the top ladder. Now that the combo is so known, players have answers for it. Emerald/Steel midrange (without sheriff) has been a top choice among grandmaster players, though. Steelsong is positioned well atm, just have to practice the emerald matchups heavily :)
Hey first Congrats on your channel, I new to steel song, and I was looking at your old list with play set of Hercs. I was thinking about changing those 8 cards out for the 8 Pluto package. What do you think is the pros and cons for Herc and Pluto
I wouldn’t play Herc at the moment, every steel deck is playing multiple Along came Zeus which nukes him. The bodyguard Pluto is fine but not amazing in this deck imo. The 1 cost gives explosive starts and offers more rockstar draw
@@LorcanaCastle I've been struggling bad this set to find something I can commit to. With your experience and tips I can finally commit to a list and learn the set!🙏
As long as you discard Be Prepared with Bare Necessities, then you can either take down locations with the wide board of small characters or even ignore them and quest to victory
How do you think this deck fares against the Amethyst/Ruby match up? I know it had 50-50 odds in set 2, and with A/R looking like itll stay a powerhouse, im curious if i should focus on rebuilding amber steel or updating my A/R deck
So I know he's an amazing card, but if you had to replace the 4 Beasts with something (Unfortunately I'm not spending 160 dollars for a playset) what would it be? Also at 14:20 why did you not sing zeus with the other Ariel to kill the Robin Hood? Felt that would have reduced your opponents options big time that game, especially to answer both Ariels with only the Cindy on the board and 4 Ink.
I totally get that. I wish a playset didn't cost as much as it did. It's tough because beast really is a vital piece to the deck. I'd probably say the 4th rapunzel if you had it and maybe some Tinker Bell Giant Fairy. Zeus only does 5 so Robin Hood would have lived and if my opponent healed with rapunzel it would have been bad. That's why I wanted to take it out all at once. If zeus took it down it one shot then I would have played it then for sure. And If I had known he had Big Cinderella, I would have used strength of a Raging fire on the 1 cost Cindy. It wasn't likely he had big cindy in hand, or even in deck, as almost no one at the top of the ladder plays her anymore. Thanks for the discussion!
@LorcanaCastle I'm dumb, lmao you're 100% right Zeus is only 5. My bad making you write that entire explanation. Yeah I got most of the important steel song from previous sets so I've already invested so much money into the deck, its hard to justify another 160 until we know what's finally going on for competitive. (Also with star wars right around the corner and me really wanting to play that) I'll prolly just add Cindy and 3 Tinks then.
It would perform well against both of those decks. A Whole New World and the Stitch draw helps a lot against discard decks. You just have to watch out for their 2 cost Ursula!
I have no Beast (very poor guy😂😂😂) and i have put in this deck X3 Hercules (cost 2) X3 Hercules divine Hero ... This Is a bad choice ?? Do you suggest any other choice?? (I know that Beast Is the top..but i have not the card)
I truly appreciate you all! Instead of sleeping, I stayed up all night to record this 😅 expect less sleepy gameplay in the future haha.

You have no idea how much that means to me! Seriously, thank you so much for sharing that and great job crushing it in your 1st tournament :)
Thx for the video Zach! You’re a great player and can’t wait to see what you bring to the TH-cam space and can’t wait to learn a bunch
Yo Goons! Thanks a ton!
So hyped you made a TH-cam! Adding 1 drop Pluto is a very good sneak!
Thanks for saying that, happy you came to check it out :)
Looking forward to more content ! As a fellow ptcg player, I like finding a man of my own make
Love it! Lorcana and Pokemon on your channel! I'm sold

I really like the list! My dumb dumb brain keeps forgetting about 2 drop kida. I'm excited to try this!
Thanks, Sean! Even if I end up cutting the 5 cost Kida, I'll keep the 2 drop over simba to bluff it haha
@@LorcanaCastle I 100% agree. That's just good gaming!
Great one! Looking forward to see you further explore this deck.
What about switching Plutos for the Flutes?
Thanks so much! Pluto is what makes the deck so explosive. Flutes were used as extra reach to close out games last format. But with a more explosive start and bear necessities keeping Be Prepareds in check, I haven't felt the need for flutes so far in set 3. Appreciate the comment!

Hell yeah! Looking forward to the great Lorcana content
Yo good to see you on here Geffres
Let's goooo!!!! Nice to see you on YT. Keep the videos coming.
Lets go!!!
Great first video Zach!!! Can't wait to see what else you're planning to make!
Yo Brandon! I really appreciate you checking out the channel :)
Well done!!! I loved watching this breakdown and gameplay! I’m excited to see more soon!
Thanks so much, Brandon! Was great to see you on the live stream last night!
@@LorcanaCastle Yeah, the livestream was super fun and it was great to meet you!

Hope to see this list in person on Saturday!
Quickest sub ever. Excellent deck breakdown.
Quickest thanks ever. Appreciate it!
love the vid! just subbed 😊
quick question, how have you been doing against emerald? I’ve been having a tough time with it since Ursula is just discarding my AWNW turn 2… been a tough matchup for steelsong
2 cost Ursula can be terrifying. So far. I'm 6-3 against Emerald/Steel and 3-0 against Emerald/Amethyst
Instant sub! You do an amazing deck breakdown and have great commentary!
I really appreciate the kind words! It means a lot
this will be the first deck I’ll try at locals! thanks and good luck on the yt adventure 💛
Hope it treats you well. Its a lot of fun to play!
Great work! Keep it up
Really appreciate it, Chad!
I knew I recognized the name! Glad to see you playing Lorcana as well!
I’m all in on it! Do you play?
@LorcanaCastle I've been keeping an eye on it. I need to really dive in through Pixelborn soon and maybe physical later. I've been looking at Emerald/Steel

So awesome to see you guys here! Thanks for the support 😊
Loved this. I was debating between pluto and lantern since they have same job. Lantern can be used the turn you play it and pluto have to wait until next turn... decisions... could your next video be an amethyst/amber aggro deck?
Thanks! I love the upside of the turn 2 Ariel that Pluto brings personally
Hello Zach! I know you are playing another deck at this moment but is that possible to upload some games vs bounce control with commentary? Im struggling against those and my LGS is infested by them. Best regards!
I got slapped with this deck at one league and then ran over it in turn last night. Steelsong has so much removal. Definitely feels super strong.
So much removal! Bear necessities improved its matchup spread as well. It’s looking really strong in set 3
Love it. Got my sub!
Thanks so much, Omar!
Great start to your youtube journey!!
Alphos! So good to see you here. Thanks :)

Thanks! 💪
Zach brilliant video! I’m going to test the list at my locals!!
Hey Mark!! Thanks for watching the video! Hope the deck treats you well
Thank you for posting this
Thank you even more for watching and for the comment!
@@LorcanaCastle I've been struggling bad this set to find something I can commit to. With your experience and tips I can finally commit to a list and learn the set!🙏
As much as I love Amber Steel, this deck is quite vulnerable to Ursula sniping your A Whole New World etc.
Absolutely! Every deck has vulnerabilities. I’m grateful it’s not a vulnerability that we auto lose to like the Sapphire/Steel matchup in set 2
Looking forward to more videos
Teach me how to be good 😂
Deal 🤝
Great breakdown! Now to go hunt down some Robin Hood’s 😅
I heard that when you play Robin Hood, you are always the first to 20
Appreciate your content man! How do you deal with locations? I mean except discarding them with bare necessities
As long as you discard Be Prepared with Bare Necessities, then you can either take down locations with the wide board of small characters or even ignore them and quest to victory
Thanks for the kind words by the way! I appreciate you as well!
How do you think this deck fares against the Amethyst/Ruby match up? I know it had 50-50 odds in set 2, and with A/R looking like itll stay a powerhouse, im curious if i should focus on rebuilding amber steel or updating my A/R deck
It’s R/A matchup got much better in set 3 with the addition of Bear necessities
Love the content dropping a sub
Steel Song is my fav so far. Still going to try and work in big Cinderella.
Hope big cindy does well for you!

I messed up Zeus math in the last game 😆 I totally get that. Can’t wait until we get more info on official play!
Immediate sub
Immediate thanks!
How does this deck work against an emerald steel discard deck with bodyguard? Or a Snow White deck? I’d like to see it fight one of those
It would perform well against both of those decks. A Whole New World and the Stitch draw helps a lot against discard decks. You just have to watch out for their 2 cost Ursula!
Kida also drops your chareters attack by -3 also
Yes for sure
I have no Beast (very poor guy😂😂😂) and i have put in this deck X3 Hercules (cost 2) X3 Hercules divine Hero ... This Is a bad choice ?? Do you suggest any other choice?? (I know that Beast Is the top..but i have not the card)
That’s understandable! Hercules is fine or you could do 2 cost and shift Cinderella as well. The 2 cost would give you some draw. Thanks for watching!
Great video
I really appreciate it, Joshua!
