This looks like a great deck! I haven’t played Sapphire much, but love my Amber/Amethyst Aggro deck! I look forward to trying this out with the new set!
@jeffwayne5061 my pleasure thanks for tuning in. Getting Chip'n'dale down & then inking something to get a Donald detective back from the bin then playing that to get a mickey detective back then playing that to get a daisy back & playing that also feels pretty broken lol
Would like another entry for the booster box, but I do want to say I love your deck tech videos, and I personally like the location deck with the dwarves and John Silver
I’m interested to see how the new set changes things; I really like your Moana Pirate deck so I’ll be thinking of building something close to that. I’ve not played theme decks yet
@ I’m actually in between finding a new store to play at with my work schedule so right now I building and buying/selling singles right now. So yeah I got a Mulan and a Dwarf Knights deck in building to
@aidancorson9435 thanks so much, Hyper aggro definitely isn't for everyone. As someone who played both Goblins & Control at a pretty high level back in the heyday of magic enjoynall playstyles. 😀
Interesting video, for sure. I’ve been testing out Amber/Sapphire a lot lately and this is what I’ve come up with, so far: Daisy Duck - Donald’s Date X4 Lilo - Making a Wish X4 Stitch - New Dog X3 The Queen - Regal Monarch X3 Lilo - Escape Artist X4 Piglet - Pooh Pirate Captain X4 Simba - Protective Cub X3 Alice - Savy Sailor X3 Donald Duck - Musketeer Soldier X4 Rapunzel - Gifted With Healing X4 Anna - True-Hearted X4 Simba - Pride Protector X3 The Queen - Commending Presence X3 Stitch - Rock Star X3 The Bare Necessities X4 World’s Greatest Criminal Mind X4 McDuck Mannor - Scrooge’s Mansion X3 Ps: Alice - Savy Sailor seems too good to not be used, Stitch - Rock Star adds some much needed card draw (outside of just X4 Rapunzel) and combos well with Simba - Pride Protector, The Queen - Commending Presence is just so versatile and I hope that they’ll come up with Morph esque character cards for the other ink colors.
@yancharest2464 stitch rock star was something I'd considered & i do think he is good he just didn't end up making the cut for me due to the need tonhave a shift target also. Your build is more similar to the current version I'm playing for set 4 though most definitely. Our actions are near identical & same locations. Only thing I'm not running is alive & stitch. Super fun color combo though! 😀 Appreciate you sharing your version of the list!
@stephaniehouck6928 the draw is more important than the heal in my experience. I would go maybe julietta Madrigal for a budget option. Or something else to let you ink to take advantage of chip'n'dale
I have been play testing tiana. The card is amazing. I hard mulligan for it and if you can play them in turn 3 and turn 4, -6 attack for all opposimg characters when they challenge yours is pretty deadly
@stanleyswenson1249 also one of my favorite characters but due to his weird stat line & cost is find it hard to get the same type of value out of him as you would out of something like Rapunzel. I think in the right situation he could be really good. Like if you were playing a deck that had bodyguards & could also give him ward it would be gross.
@stanleyswenson1249 even more so I think bodyguard could be important with her as she has to exert to give ward but I'm sure you know that already. I think in Sapphire Steel he could be really good as are quite a few other new cards.
@MewShu love to hear it, pirates is awesome. Also my buddy was playing our set 5 version of this deck & he was at 18 turn 4 lol. He went 3-1 at league with our set 5 version last week & imo the deck is just gonna get better! 😀
Love to see the new support! I feel like Tiana and Simba contradict each other pretty hard though. If you're rocking bodyguard cards Tiana seems better, but just pure aggro hitting that turn 5 body guard 2 cost simba into shifting for 3 onto the already exerted dude seems really good!
I would really like to discuss more decks cuz I entered the fields just as Ursula returns was ending. Maybe mid or Ursula returns going into shimmering skies
I like the idea of Anna True hearted over the chip, and perdita over the chip and dale. You have plenty of good 1/2 drops that she can recur and the true hearted gives your other hero +1 quest, but I like the idea over all. I experimented briefly with a similar deck last set.
@derfofrune thanks so much, totally respect Anna true hearted play line. I tried her during set 5 & found it near impossible to get much value out of her. She felt like a win more card in my experience. Not knocking it, just speaking to my personal experience with it.
So yeah we are relatively new and if I can contact you personally instead of over TH-cam, I would like to discuss some decks with you and see what you think about them and maybe you can give me some tips. What do you think?
So I have noticed a few of the cards you have in there are from the first chapter. I am currently in Canada, Vancouver, BC particularly and that sets like non-existent. It's almost like it just disappeared. It's hard to find that set again so if you need some of the cards from that set, how do you get them? Do you just order them online as singles or could you still get the set or mine?
@armancain i thankfully bought mine when they were still very available at msrp. A lot of the foils I have I've bought from shops or tcg player. My honest recommendation is, unless you can get a good price on boxes just buy the staple cards as you're able to. Be prepared, Whole new world, Maui, Friends on the Other Side & Rapunzel are probably the best cards in the set in my opinion in terms of playability across multiple decks.
Looks interesting 👍 But I am I right in thinking that the only card in the deck that actually cares about heroes is 2-drop Anna? Or am I missing something?
@Rasmus.Elnegaard Anna is the only one that is effected by a hero being in play yes but most of the deck is heroes to ensure she's pretty much always active. I tried a lot of different iterations & the other cares about hero options just felt like win more cards.
@thenerdcaveyt Fair enough. I am trying to make sapphire steel heroes work. I kind of wanted a midrange deck, but it seems aggro is more viable, especially if budget is a concern. Card draw is a bit of a problem for my deck.
@Rasmus.Elnegaard yeah that is the biggest struggle. Chip'n'dale definitely helps a little with that in the late game since you have more say over which character you're playing each turn. Rapunzel really is the best option for the colors to draw cards though. Obviously there's the option to play the whole hiram, pawp, fishbone package but then the deck really feels like it's changing at a more fundamental level. If you wanted to go midrange though that would probably be the best way.
@1nmcmurray part of the cost is baymax which i think will go down a lot when the set is out. Rapunzel you could hypothetically cut for Julietta Madrigal. I think if Baymax settles around $15 & you cut the Rapunzel it would reduce the cost by close to $150 I believe putting it more in the $200 range.
@tylerdewitt5688 if I had to speculate it will be pretty similar to set 5 although aggro may be a little more relevant I still expect to see a lot of discard, steelsong & Sapphire decks
@ yeah I’m slowly realizing it! I’ve only been playing for about a month and a half so I’m still learning how each color truly works! Thanks for the videos!
Lilo making a wish is a vanilla though I personally instead of use that Lilo I would use the new Lilo. I think escape artists I think is that card. It comes in Azure sea. Wouldn't that be better alternative for a Lilo card?
@@leonelleon8520 yeah sadly there's not a lot of good draw options for amber so she's your best bet. You could play Julietta Madrigal as a budget alternative though
@armancain lilo escape artist is wildly situational, ultimately compared to some other options 2 ink for a 1/2 character isn't great even if they quest for 2. Typically they are better in the mid-late game than as your turn 2 play because that's when you're really out of cards & the recursion helps. Also they come in exerted from the bin & die easily to many things.
I love your content but every time I comment it gets deleted. Don't know what that's about but oh well. I put the Rockstar stitch in along with the pride lands simba combo. Made going wide fast super easy.
@@attiladahunk8720 I like it, Rockstar stitch definitely has a special place in my heart. Not sure what could have been happening to your comments but it seems to have worked this time! Thanks so much for watching!

7:00 if you can place Tiana in her restaurant they'll first have to deal with that "body" before removing her. Just a thought
@@wolfphantom interesting hmmm...
@@thenerdcaveyt also, Tiana stacks, so 2 on the board means a -6 STR, and 3 ink to "lift/remove" -3 still
@@thenerdcaveyt I've also played Rapunzel's Tower to beef my lore seekers up to keep them on the board
Love it! I am wondering about something in place of Rapunzel? Jasmine 5 drop would let you heal, just doesn't have the card draw.
@stephaniehouck6928 the draw is more important than the heal in my experience. I would go maybe julietta Madrigal for a budget option. Or something else to let you ink to take advantage of chip'n'dale

I like the looks of this deck. I'm wondering what could be swapped in for the Rapunzels..those are pricey :-O
@@WutTheDuece Julietta Madrigal would be the most budget friendly option.
I’ve never played hyper aggro before and I can’t wait to try out this deck!

@@Fyrehawk2000 my pleasure, I'd love to hear how it works out for you!

I think in the right situation he could be really good. Like if you were playing a deck that had bodyguards & could also give him ward it would be gross.
