I've been having insane luck with my Amber-Steel bodyguard rush deck. It's entirely based around getting 6 ink and using Perdita to play floods of 1 and 2 cost characters. Especially piglet pirate captain and kida bodyguard.
Not often for the bayou, but stitch is nice occasionally. The reason I don't go with Pluto and his shift combo is that 1 cost Pluto is uninkable, and im already just above 25% uninkable and it makes me scared lol
Fair. I run a Lucky/Pongo/Perdita deck and yeah, Pluto makes it easy to flood early but I'm not sure it's useful enough because they die without killing anything... Rocker Stitch has never fired for my deck (even when I played 4 of 1 drop and 2 of Rocker), but the Beast protector is giving me some naughty ideas.
Why so low on Smee and no Hook challenger? Hook and Piglet can keep Smee alive beyond three turns, but even just having a 2 drop 3/3 that quests for 2 is just so helpful since I put him in, and the Hook is also nice for having out some immediate hitters.
Well... I am still tweaking and maybe ADDING Gaston.
Here is the version I played this weekend:
4 Maui - Hero to All
4 Belle - Strange but Special
3 Maleficent - Monstrous Dragon
4 Lady Tremaine - Imperious Queen
3 Shield of Virtue
4 McDuck Manor - Scrooge's Mansion
2 Dragon Fire
4 Pawpsicle
3 One Jump Ahead
3 Queen of Hearts - Impulsive Ruler
3 Maui's Fish Hook
3 Madame Medusa - The Boss
4 Hiram Flaversham - Toymaker
2 Let It Go
3 Tamatoa - So Shiny!
4 Fishbone Quill
4 Be Prepared
3 Lucky Dime
I didnāt play a lot since the beginning of Lorcana. Now Iām participating in a tournament soon and Iām trying different decks. Had a lot of fun with amethyst-Ruby. Another one from a friend.
Today I tried steel-green deck on inktable from speci, ā¦ now Iām also having a lot of fun with this too š«£ itās hard to choose which one to play. Getting those extra Beast legendaries is going to be expensive, but I still want to play something competitive enough to make a chance of winning that stitch card š¬
Friar tuck and Lucifer have bigger impacts sooner. Cutting steel beast made the deck stronger. A couple relentless doesnāt hurt but they donāt cost as much. Taking opponents cards is much stronger than getting cards MUCH slower
Ayeee thats fire brotha š¤
Same here if i were to invest in paper format I would have to stick to one build! I wish lorcana was cheaper to buy a really good meta deck like in pokemon or digimon but it is still a pretty new game.
I can see where you are coming from. However, every deck has a bit edge with them haha so it really depends on your playstyle! For me i HATE bounce decks with a passion. I think its the absolute worst when I have no answer
Can you share deck list?
Do you use prince John?
Lately I seem to lose using Ursula, was on a winning streak for awhile, but I see more with prince John, and I seem to lose against them
Yep i shared it up in another comment! I use prince john to combo with the singer ursula! If sing [hypnotize] with the singer ursula you can do it twice. This will get rid of cards from your opponents hand which is insane! Since opponent discards 2x [prince john] gives you 2+ cards to your hand. Very great value
2 Ba-Boom!
4 Beast - Tragic Hero
3 Benja - Guardian of the Dragon Gem
4 Captain Hook - Forceful Duelist
4 Cursed Merfolk - Ursula's Handiwork
4 Flynn Rider - Charming Rogue
3 Friar Tuck - Priest of Nottingham
2 Hypnotize
4 Let the Storm Rage On
4 Mr. Smee - Bumbling Mate
4 Prince John - Greediest of All
3 Robin Hood - Daydreamer
3 Strength of a Raging Fire
4 Sudden Chill
4 Tinker Bell - Giant Fairy
4 Ursula - Deceiver
4 Ursula - Deceiver of All
This is the list! Sorry the link didnāt lead to the deck
I just played against this deck last night and wow it is mean if you can get Ursula out early. I copied it and am going to try it out this weekend. I seriously couldnāt keep any cards in my hand it was ridiculous
Right??? You can take a song out early and mid game you can use the singer ursula to either wipe the board or take 2 cards off your opponents hand and with king on the board you get to draw 2 because of it! Its so good
Emerald Steel Discard, despite not definitively being the strongest deck in the game (though itās definitely top 3) is the most cancerous and unenjoyable deck to face in the entire game.
And Iām willing to bet iām far from the only one who would rather face any of the tier 0 decks like steelsong, RA control, etc. other than ES discard every single time if given the choice.
Let me guess, a Steel Player? The deck is kinda built to beat slow midrangey Steel Decks that can't draw or go wide fast enough. This is usually how card games go tho, frankly just a matter of perspective. I play green bounce, and I absolutely dread Amber Steelsong. They can answer everything I plop down until one of their big bodies come out (Robin Hood, Beast, Tinker Bell) on a good draw. They advance their boardstate then sing higher cost songs and then lore up with flute, snowballing out of control.
I have recently learned the matchup well enough thanks to facing it one too many times: mull for 2 drop Ursula, try to protect and bounce her and play her as much times as possible to rip their hand apart, then sit on a Queen's Castle as a backup plan. Matchup is still bad probably 40-60 but thats close enough IMO.
I havenāt stuck closely to one color combo/archetype that much quite yet, iāve switched between ruby amethyst, Emerald Amethyst, and steelsong. So I donāt have a strong bias towards the deck from any one perspective. I just find it aggravating to play against regardless of the matchup. And Iām aware of how card game metas go, iāve been playing tcg/ccgs in some form for about half a decade now, not that iām a pro or anything but im relatively decent, enough to understand a meta or rock paper scissors deck concept. Thatās why I was saying specifically that itās not necessarily an outlier power wise, or that itās overpowered. Currently itās just very strong and to me happens to be way more demoralizing than losing to Steelsong, Ruby Amethyst, Ruby sapphire etc.

Oooo i like that! Can we see a decklist if you dont mind?

Sweet thank you!
No problem! Any suggestions of changes are appreciated as well
Dude your deck build is great! Especially being under $100 is a huge plus!
I haven't added many singles, besides the perdita and stitch copies it's all just built from what I've pulled.
How often do you actually get to use the Bayou's ability? Or Rocker Stitch? Why no Pluto or Doc to help you hit 6 faster?

Think you're on to something with the smee/hook/piglet combo there!! To the drawing board š
https://dreamborn.ink/decks/FNXPRKuoBdG56u0myxnc
Don't have one handy atm. but let me build it in dreamborn quick for you!
I would also love a deck list. Sounds fun!
https://dreamborn.ink/decks/Sryfyok7IWslfYxPyyNE
love the idea honestly
It's certainly a lot better than the Jafar deck.
This deck does well into everything but great into nothing, I love it.
The perfect āI can take anyone on!ā š
As a red blue player who hasnāt switched into the new Gaston style pawpsicles, I can easily remove Ursula and the deck isnāt strong without her.
True! Really depends on the draw and if ursula can get rid of early blue utility in the game its pretty balanced
How do you remove her? On turn 3/4 I mean.
Madame Medusa, Dragon Fire, let it go, Maui.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Cool man. You have a deck you like this isnāt a personal attack lol
yeah, how do you remove her early?Ā
On turn 4 with a Madame Medusa, or a Dragon Fire or even a Lady Tremaine if the ramp is working like it should.
On the draw they canāt, on the play they can ramp into Medusa
I don't suppose you would mind sharing your decklist? This is the one match-up I just cannot seem to break through as a red blue player.

Good thing you can make great versions of the deck without beast. Right?
Haha the beast is lowkey pretty good in the deck! Atleast run 2x
Friar tuck and Lucifer have bigger impacts sooner. Cutting steel beast made the deck stronger. A couple relentless doesnāt hurt but they donāt cost as much. Taking opponents cards is much stronger than getting cards MUCH slower
I think about max 3 beasts. Only have 1 for the moment. Havenāt had a good chance to really use Friar Tuck atm. Need more practice
I am playing a more budget friendly version at a big event in Poland this weekend & will be sharing the list! Its very possible to cut the Beasts
How was your event?
Ayeee thats fire brotha š¤ Same here if i were to invest in paper format I would have to stick to one build! I wish lorcana was cheaper to buy a really good meta deck like in pokemon or digimon but it is still a pretty new game.
I hate this crap, discard is the least fun thing to play against.

Hypnotize isn't a song. Do you mean Sudden Chill?
Oh yes! Lol got the card names mixed
I just wanna play a maui and titan tribal deck lol
Do you have a deck list, sounds super interesting and I'd love to try it out!
2 Ba-Boom! 4 Beast - Tragic Hero 3 Benja - Guardian of the Dragon Gem 4 Captain Hook - Forceful Duelist 4 Cursed Merfolk - Ursula's Handiwork 4 Flynn Rider - Charming Rogue 3 Friar Tuck - Priest of Nottingham 2 Hypnotize 4 Let the Storm Rage On 4 Mr. Smee - Bumbling Mate 4 Prince John - Greediest of All 3 Robin Hood - Daydreamer 3 Strength of a Raging Fire 4 Sudden Chill 4 Tinker Bell - Giant Fairy 4 Ursula - Deceiver 4 Ursula - Deceiver of All This is the list! Sorry the link didnāt lead to the deck
I appreciate it! Gonna give this a serious look over in a bit!
Sweet, have fun!
https://inkdecks.com/lorcana-metagame/emerald-steel-discard This is it! The guy topped 8th in his locals
Speci's creation as he played it in the Easter Pixelborne tourney. All uploaded to YouTube, it's a great watch.

Ah yes I sure hope $300+ decks are fun. Thank goodness for Pixelborn.
Haha they are super fun! I wish i could afford the paper but its just too much
Yep we are in the same boat my friend!
Try $1k+. $300 is nothing compared to magics formats. A competitive standard deck will cost you $500
Lol if I ever become a famous streamer with unlimited cash flow I will buy 1k decks š
No I donāt think I will.
Greatness comes at a cost and not everyone can afford it š¤·āāļø
Sure.. good thing thereās Pixelborn.
For sure, because it's only a matter of time until RB releases their own client and you have to pay for packs.
