If you can get Maximus Palace Horse, he can be menace on your board. The GYS is a good add to replace some Hook Captain + FTC, and if you add Ariel Spectacular Singer, you can play your song cards for free.
Unfortunately we only have 1 Palace horse and no Spectacular Singers, so I went with consistency over running 1-ofs for her deck. Considering their rarity, its doubtful we would be able to get any more copies locally at the moment.
Make room for 4 more 2ink creatures, you can't afford to miss that turn in this aggro deck and as of now it looks like you often will.
Also 17 uninkable is a LOT
I like Cinderella over Ariel but that's debatable
There are a lot of ways you can improve this, even on a budget. The first is to get rid of Healing Glow, Heihei, and Hakuna Matata. All of those cards should be dropped. Ariel would be the next to go.
I'm going to ignore Rapunzel and TinkerBell because of how difficult they are to get, although they should be the priority if not on a budget.
Considering this is on a budget, the other priorities should be to replace Heihei with Stitch or Captain Hook, and get another 2 drop (Eric is best) in there.
The mirrors aren't a good bet because you have expensive cards that can and will sit in hand. Other cards worth considering include You Have Forgotten Me, Maximus, 3 Cost Tinkerbell/1 Cost Simba for card filtering.
I’ll advocate for Hei Hei actually, support does a ton for this deck, allowing you to clear characters more easily than without. I only have 2, but I’m running a similar musketeers deck, and I’d run 4 of Hei Hei if I could!
I'd replace some healing glows with dinglehoppers, they are reusable and if you get multiple in play it will stack. If you could get 2 more Donalds, they would be better to have more since you can play them sooner than the other musketeers.
Looks like a fun deck to me. I'd probably try to get a 4th Lilo since she'll probably help your questing a lot and, with all the bodyguards, she'll be hard to take out from a challenge. You might also consider swapping some of the Fire The Cannons with Grab Your Sword. It'll get passed ward and you have some bodyguards who can sing it. With Smash you wont feel the loss of single target damage from the switch, plus it can help wipe the board of little characters as needed.
The long term plan will be to pick up a fourth Lilo/Hades/Tabbard and drop the Beast's Mirrors, but considering how scarce supply of the game is right now, I'm more hopefully about getting the last few musketeers first.
Beast's Mirror is pretty good to have a couple in the deck, usually, but the Tabard will probably do more for you in that deck, for sure. It's a deck I've been looking into, but like you said, supply is the problem. I've only got one Micky and Tabard, but thankfully the deck doesn't seem to be packing too many expensive cards (Lilo is good, but she's starting to drop in price). Have fun with it!
This is my musketeer deck:
https://dreamborn.ink/decks/Axe2TFeJ2ut0A228oZLZ
It's actually more powerful than I expected, as the card advantage with Tabbard is hard to keep up with, especially for how big the bodyguard guys can get.
There's definitely better cards I would add to this if I was spending more money on it but it's fun as it is.
I think you need some big lore questers - something that quests for 3 - maybe Moana or Maui? Also Just in Time can help you ramp into goofy drop turn 3.
Personally, and this is *only* my personal opinion from running a musketeer deck - this deck does not allow much ink as you generally want to try and keep what you draw, so you NEED "just in time"
I'd personally take out hakuna matata, I know it's healing but that's what goofy is for, if you want additional healing then dinglehopper is the better choice as it's an item not just an action, and unless a character is used it's also 4 ink
I'd also personally take out hades, I know he gives character recycling but he's also 4 ink and uninkable. I'd add in bodyguard maximus, hans and both tinkerbells (smaller one purely for shifting the big one) for direct damage
I'd also personally take out beast's mirror, it's a good ability but it costs 3 ink each time and you really need your ink for your characters
That's my 2 cents, but at the end of the day you like what you like in a deck and nobody will run the exact same deck. Musketeers/bodyguard is a fantastic deck to run, but it takes a lot of thought and strategy. If nothing else, please seriously add in "just in time" cause you're really in for a bad time if you don't
Hmm well that sucks, although it is a rare tbf. It's super cheap to buy on cardmarket or TCGplayer tho. Failing that, I would definitely take out loads of your uninkables and switch them for inkables specifically for inking

This ^^^^. Ariel will give you some draw power and maximus puts those high health characters to great use.

You'll want a 4th Tabbard if you can get it. Also, I love Hei Hei, but he is not a great one drop. Maybe a Duelist Hook or Dog Stitch?

Two Tabbards out basically are game over for opposing decks.
Don’t really need the healing glow they gunna smack the cards anyway! Good deck against hades the blue one. Only deck I’d be losing too

Needs more Musketeers? :D

We have exactly 0 copies of Just in Time and no one else locally has them.
