Im definitely going to try that last out. Very interesting! Ill get back to you after I test it a bit. Thanks for the comment! My set championship was swarming with ruby/sapphire becasue everyone new I would be on the Sapphire/steel ramp. I somehow managed to still squeeze out a 3rd place though 🙃

@@LorcanaLizard Thanks! Will look forward to your reply. And congratz on the third place finish. My wife called me and said I need to come home when I stood 2-2. With a win in the last Swiss round game I could have joined the top 8 cut and who knows what would have happened then...shit.

Thanks for the comment! So, I have played a little over 100 games with this deck and I have made slight changes here and there along the way. I originally had 3 copies of Mickey Mouse then went down to 2. I recently added 1 Tamatoa which acts as another good target for a late game Lucky Dime combo. Some people like running one jump ahead but I prefer to keep the uninkable count a little lower. I do think the 4 drop Tala is a decent card to run as well. Ultimately, the deck will change slightly to fit the current needs of the meta. For instance, if item decks become any more poplar then i would consider adding a couple benjas to the list along side rise of the titans. This is a deck that I believe running 60-65 cards would be okay.

@@LorcanaLizard Thanks for the response! That’s good to hear. I was also considering adding a Tamatoa as well. I try to cap my deck at 64 so I’ll see what I can move around. I also think with the Lucky Dimes & Spellbooks that Benja or extra copies of Rise of the Titans might be a good idea

Hook & smee package is very good to slow down hyper aggressive decks. Then, after 5th ink you have grab your sword, Tinkerbell and Zeus to remove threads (almost freely).

@abaddonsfx800 Yes, but with "bear necessities," I take away actions and locations. It's a two cost. If I play sapphire, I take away fishbone quill before turning 3. Yes, people can play hook or smee, but no lore is being gained because of needing to attack. If steel is attacking, there is no draw going on. Many people play the other way, too, with Sapphire and play pawsiicle and items at the beginning, attempting to ramp and draw cards. If that happens, game over.

​@lerak8452 sapphire/Steel eats aggro if played right. Smee + Hook turns 1&2, Big tink on 4 if ramped with quill, otherwise usually hook and see is enough. Never run into an issue with aggro unless you just brick early but that's unlikely if you mull right. I say this as someone that has a dedicated test group and have tested that match-up extensively.

@vdg6184 I played Sapphire/steel since Lorcana came out. I have the lucky dime deck. It's a secondary one because I've made a deck to play against all meta sets for tournaments. I understand Sapphire/steel is usually played with 1 drop capt or the pawsicle direction for draw and for the ramp. It's either one, and rarely do you have all cards in hand. Amber/Amethyst bounce is too quick, and by the time you can play grab your swords, you don't have any lore or cards. You were too busy trying to attack. I can play lilo, malifcent 2 lore one drops. Use simba and boboo for bodyguard, which give me 2 lore when. I went 3-1 last week. Barely lost my 1 againt someone who finished 4th in a 1k tournament with Amethyst/Ruby meta deck. Amber Steel destroys my deck. That's because it can sing crab your swords. That's why I designed an all-around deck. Got some compliments, but it's more on hush-hush for now. The tournament I had that I went 3-1 in. My friend was playing amber steel, but I didn't play him. After the tournament, I asked to play. I got destroyed. Good thing I didn't play him. I know, though, a lot of people play Amethyst/Ruby. I'm called it the Lerak deck, or wreck deck.

Hi there! Did you click on the link in the description? It will take you to Dreamborn.ink and shows you every card and card count in the deck. After playing more games with this deck, I have had decent success with adding 2 copies of tamatoa. Good luck!

@@LorcanaLizard did not, thank you for the response. I’m new to the game and this is my first TCG so I’ve only been using the app. I’ll check out dreamborn thank you!

Happy to help! Always excited to hear about and help new players. This game is so much fun and will only continue to get even better!@@brandontalsma5640

I appreciate the input! I originally ran 4 quills but felt like 3 got the job done. Top decking a quill feels terrible lol.

Great observation! It took me a while to learn the best way to pilot the deck. I consider it to be the best because of its performance in many of the recent tournaments. I believe this deck is extremely powerful in the hands of a highly skilled player. I must also admit that I do not claim to be a "highly skilled" player just yet. I have quite a bit of experience at this point though.

Simple. The Dime, Belle, and cindie are not optimal.
