I used Gaston and Maximus in my Mufasa deck this past weekend at a tournament and Gaston was amazing. It's fairly easy to get him into play costing 5 and he's just huge!
Awesome vid, I as well have been running a really similar deck since I unfortunately don’t have rapunzel will Julieta be a good sub ? And as well as maui what can be a good sub for him??👍🏼🫡
Unfortunately the deck will lose a lot of competitive viability without Rapunzel. You need draw engines, so anything that can draw multiple cards. Maui is hard to replace, Hercules can do the job but is not likely to get you advantage.
I’ve been using something very similar with ratigan and the shift. Evasive 3 lore, can sing be prep, boosts your damaged characters strength, activates Maximus and immune to a lot of removal is very good in this deck
I am so high on maximus and gaston. and naturally the best shell for Gaston is the damage healing ruby amber shell with mulan, Gothel, Julietta, and Rapinzel. I am not sure if it is a mufasa build or not. but I am so glad to see other's trying it out
PLEASE do more testing with real opponents with this deck. I am actually currently working with an amber ruby deck that is 70% similar to yours here, but I included just in time, 5 drop queen of hearts, card soldiers, prince eric and be prepared. Nonetheless, I really enjoy this colour combination and the gaston maximus sword combo seems very nice!
Extremely hard you have to try and not play into their songs while keeping monsters on board for their aggro and without Medusa you won't have a reliable answer to Robin Hood without them drawing off their effect
I've been playing around with ruby/amy variant. Triton trident/sword of the stone/potion of might make it really easy to get any character over 5 or 10. I have found the ideal move is to get out a high str character on turn 4 or 5 so on turn six you can already take advantage of the triggers of maximus. I wonder if lantern would be good in your deck, or gaston? free mulan, free gothel? seems strong to get that gaston out quicker.
Did a similar idea, but i think your problem will be drawing cards. I combined maximus with blue and sid a more item heavy way and support to have different ways of getting to the 10 attack
I’ve been working Gaston into a Mufasa shell because it is rather easy to cheat him out in the deck. Not sure how I feel about Maximus though, I just think he comes out way too late as a 6 drop, even if you run cost reducers to get him out. Not to mention his stats aren’t great, a Medusa can still easily bonk it.
Steel song is a top deck for a reason, it will be tough to beat and they have the advantage of finishing off your damaged characters before you Rapunzel, meaning you need 6 ink to Gothel + Rapunzel in the same turn. Best way for tempo decks to beat any AWNW deck is trade up with your Rush characters (going 2 for 1), save key removal like brawl for their singers (but Naveen circumvents this), and play into AWNW (play wide boards so they refill your hand). Ruby has the best top end in the game still (Sapphire coming close though). They’ll have a tough time dealing with your boss character Gaston (needs double songs). And Maximus able to proc at end of turn can generate instant lore.

I loved the new Ratigan when I was testing him in the Ruby Emerald deck I made.

Awesome content!!! Definitely going to try this build out :) If you ever need more testing partners let me know!
Thank you. It's so hard to find time to arrange games, but ideally I could use the discord more to find opponents on TTS.
Im trying the same Ruby line , but mixed with amythest belles
How is that going for you. Feeling I may run it in my updated, ruby-amtheyst.

Need to see how this deck would fair against amber/emerald steel decks and how your able to pull off gaston plays before your guys die
Id like to see more!
This deck is pretty decent, how goes against steel song ?? Should be a hard match up, right ?

Yeah I said so , and this meta will be flooded of steel song 😢, but I may bring something like that to DLC Birmingham, who knows 🤷🏻
I played this against steel song and blurple today and got absolutely annihilated by S/S. Blurple is a little better but still a grind.

I'm less worried about curve, more worried about draw.

More testing with this one please!
Nice! I've been trying to cook something up with this strat.

Ruby Amber feels bad into steel song. Anyone have advice on how to play into steel song with a deck like this? Just flood and hope for the best?
