I wasn't expecting many Bucky players in this tournament (there ended up being two) & so I didn't want to tech too heavily for the match up. To improve the match up more, I would suggest running 2-3 copies of Smash in place of: Spellbook, Benja & Maleficent
I watched your first video, dropped the book for a 4th Maleficent. I could see, dropping and benja and spell book for a smash, I feel like Maleficent helps a TON in control match ups by putting the aggro pressure on
@@Gregors85 I predicted around half of the field to be competitive players & the other half more casual. I knew most of the more competitive players attending & could predict their deck choices pretty closely
Team Labyrinth had a list similar to yours we had tested for Chicago, but nobody ended up playing it. We never considered 3 drop tink, but seems like a pretty sweet piece of tech in this matchup. Not sure I could stomach 3 copies, but I'll definitely be trying it.
I'm a new player, was looking for a good and fun budget deck and came across your last video and this. Looks so much fun, I bought it today and managed to keep it around €100 with eBay auctions & cardmarket deals which is insane for what it is. Will be attending my first ever store tournament in a few weeks, very excited to play this! Thanks for the video and for the tips, the commentary is definitely super helpful.
I'm running a very similar deck to yours and it really is the bucky beater. Also castle alone can beat the Blue Steel decks. Not great into Red blue or red purple .but can still win that matchup too. I also am running 2 belles and she ALWAYS makes a big impact whenever she is played.. usually surprise knocks someone out... sings something...and gets a quest off... good one to bounce and replay too. Are you running Big Yzma in this build? I am just for tomatoes and Big Cindys.. otherwise just use her to bounce the rabbit and draw 3
Thank you for this video. I am also fan of this live plays with commentary. I play bucky diablo deck also, but probably playing it wrong, because it does not seems that good in my eyes. Ramps or song decks are killing me all day long, so I think I will try to play your deck :)
If in my store there is a Red Blue Red purple Also a red purple and a grey purple but no compleat, not 4 castle or flynn some stuff missing. But what you recommended to play, i have all grey, purple and green cards need to get. What ypu recommend
I was so lost, I don't like this meta and I didn't know what to play. I will try this deck on all my Challengers, wish me luck! Thank's for this! What a last turn of the last game, holy...
If you only have 1 maleficent, you should probably just drop entirely. The odds of you getting any value out if it is slim because the odds of you drawing it are low
@@sdc3536 I suppose I could drop the maleficents for the smashes and go straight hate. I also thought about removing something for a couple avalanches. Takes care of cove and bucky
I would tech some decrees in this deck since you run the Belles it can be good early and late game against a lot of decks along with avalanche against the amethyst mirror
I'm loving the live play content! Great games and commentary. I was curious though, what is the draw towards Amethyst steel over Amethyst Emerald? Do you feel like it has a better match up spread?
Nice to see you drop content again. Im a green/grey player,i feel like it doesn't lore for enough early game and go toe to toe with any colour.... WITHOUT bucky. Remove bucky, aladdin and jafar to include murfolk, 2 costt flynn and benja.
Played this deck verbatim, in my local challenge event. For some reason I could not get it off the ground. I think I drew probably the worst cards and mulliganed into worst cards the whole time. Man, I really wish I had better luck drawing cards in an order that could actually combo Went 1-2 into Sapphire steel Went 1-2 into to Ruby amethyst Went 2-1 into a sticker deck (couldn't even 2-0 that) Not sure What I did wrong. I studied the deck. I played it I practiced, The amount of luck I had with me was just f****** non-existent
The decks you went up against with this deck are what I expect to see at my locals so it definitely makes me tempted to use it. However, I know there are at least 1 or 2 Amber/Steel players in my area too. How do you think this deck does against those?
@33:27 .... Why? Has 5 ink. pays 4 ink to loose 2 cards from hand instead of just.. playing the 5 cost character and inking the 1 drop. and then proceeds to not use the 5th ink.
Wait in game 1 when he played the second Aladdin you didn’t discard bc of not having a hand. But then you picked up two cards off the table (Belle and Rabbit) when he passed turn. You definitely had a hand to discard 😅
I actually am such a Maleficent 3 hater - as you will be finding out when I post my meta report in a few days! I'd never even consider it here & would personally cut it in RP as well. It is too slow without offering any board presence or questing for my taste. It is a good card to sing Friends with but that is about it. I much much prefer Magic Brooms & Chernabogs Followers for card draw
@SpeciLorcana I think the main reason it's included in rp is to shore up the match into e/s. If it was cut in place of brooms I think your variance would go down specifically versus e/s. Interested in your thoughts on rp tho
Kawas Decklist is not even the correct decklist. The decklist linked doesnt have the 1 cost flynn or the shift flynn also no Zeus song in the list which he played.
@@SpeciLorcana I feel ya, but sometimes you can do well even with a one of just in case, imagine if u had pulled the grab ur sword just at the right time
GGs to Speci, some of the wildest games of Lorcana I've ever played!
ggs , questin flynn before discard from bruno- didnt end up mattering y'all rock
Bruno isn't changing the amount of cards in hand mate. It adds a card & then discard a card.
@@SpeciLorcana ah of course my bad

Any particular reason on why you didn't expect to see Bucky players?

Thank you Speci for the strategy, deck & content! Much love from Canada

Card is actually so much better than you'd think. I would go to 4 copies before I go to 2 copies
your videos are super enjoyable to watch on mobile at 90 degrees because it’s like a POV view of your board like hearthstone lol
Wowwwzaa! Couldn’t have had a more heart racing match. GGs
Wild game! Well played to both.

Good luck mate! Let me know how you get on
this was a killer game! love this deck a lot

if this was me goat would be 100% discarded and I would lose

Red purple

But what you recommended to play, i have all grey, purple and green cards need to get. What ypu recommend
Hey nice spice, love what you cooked up!
May I ask about the decklist?
I was so lost, I don't like this meta and I didn't know what to play. I will try this deck on all my Challengers, wish me luck! Thank's for this! What a last turn of the last game, holy...
May I suggest to use monocolor mats? It would help a lot to see the cards when I see from phone and I have a space limit to the screen
Appreciate the feedback!
What would you exchange for the smashes? I only have one Maleficent, what would you replace with?
If you only have 1 maleficent, you should probably just drop entirely. The odds of you getting any value out if it is slim because the odds of you drawing it are low
@@sdc3536 I suppose I could drop the maleficents for the smashes and go straight hate. I also thought about removing something for a couple avalanches. Takes care of cove and bucky
@speci_lorcana what stand are you using for your overhead shot?
whats your ideal opening hand/mulligan?
I would tech some decrees in this deck since you run the Belles it can be good early and late game against a lot of decks along with avalanche against the amethyst mirror
Awesome stuff mate! How do you feel the deck does against Steelsongs?
Nice win buddy! I'm on bucky I think for set champs. Crazy ending!
kals face at the end XD well done
I'm loving the live play content! Great games and commentary. I was curious though, what is the draw towards Amethyst steel over Amethyst Emerald? Do you feel like it has a better match up spread?
Benja & Ba Boom are great into the Sapphire & Diablo decks respectively.
Nice to see you drop content again. Im a green/grey player,i feel like it doesn't lore for enough early game and go toe to toe with any colour.... WITHOUT bucky.
Remove bucky, aladdin and jafar to include murfolk, 2 costt flynn and benja.

Went 1-2 into Sapphire steel
Went 1-2 into to Ruby amethyst
Went 2-1 into a sticker deck (couldn't even 2-0 that)
Not sure What I did wrong. I studied the deck. I played it I practiced, The amount of luck I had with me was just f****** non-existent
How did your deck do against ruby/sapphire
I don't think anyone brought Ruby Sapphire but if I find Maleficent on Turn 1 its usually a very easy match up - especially when going first.
Thanks love the spicy Belle inclusion. Good work! 👍🏼
Im still of the mind that Diablo is only a problem because of Bucky. In a post Bucky world, he’ll be good but not a menace.
The decks you went up against with this deck are what I expect to see at my locals so it definitely makes me tempted to use it. However, I know there are at least 1 or 2 Amber/Steel players in my area too. How do you think this deck does against those?
Also, do you think taking out the Spellbook and 1 baboom for 2 smashes would be a bad idea?
I wouldn't take out Baboom but you could drop a Benja & sounds good!
Did you show the Goat as he plays Diablo in his last turn? Didn’t see that.
I already had it faceup lol with a dice on top to mark it as my hand
I got the camera setup slightly wrong & thought you could see my hand
@33:27 .... Why? Has 5 ink. pays 4 ink to loose 2 cards from hand instead of just.. playing the 5 cost character and inking the 1 drop. and then proceeds to not use the 5th ink.

There was no Bucky on the board for the second Aladdin ;)
Wait I’m dumb and blind 🤣
Tbh you got incredibly lucky in game 1. But this deck of yours is insane
Yeah I definitely drew well no doubt! Let's not forget I was on the draw both games though 👊
@@SpeciLorcana i still cant believe you make work these kind of decks. I bow to you good sir
Don’t you miss maleficent 3?
I actually am such a Maleficent 3 hater - as you will be finding out when I post my meta report in a few days!

Thanks that is my mistake & i will update it
No grab ur sword?!😱
I only have Tinkerbell & X2 Belle which can sing it
@@SpeciLorcana I feel ya, but sometimes you can do well even with a one of just in case, imagine if u had pulled the grab ur sword just at the right time
Imagine beating a $700 deck 😂
Feels good
!
lol goat is goat
diablo 4 life .... diablo is dumb
Dudes playing the most hated deck in tcg history and wants too look like hes the one that should be upset? Lmao u deserved that loss bro
Kawa was a very good sport & took the loss very well.
