Honestly? That is why I am watching your deck reviews. 😅

@@diversezebra6754 lol hey, “Be Prepared!”

@@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt Just have to stay "one jump ahead"!

@@diversezebra6754 That was my plan too! But I ran out of time and only watched this video before my event tonight, so I went with this deck and had a blast playing it! Did you also play a deck today??

I’d choose this steel/am starter

Thanks and you are very welcome! I’ve really enjoyed the starter decks and the formats using the starter decks so far so will most definitely keep up future reviews for them.

Thanks! I’m right there with ya. This deck has a lot of value cards in it which is going to make it hard to beat in a limited format.

Once that turn 2 Queen is showing up x4 in a constructed deck, ima be scared to face her!! 😂

@@kendramathes in the words of a Scar “Be Prepared” cuz it’s coming

You are welcome 🙏

Art is so good for this game

You are very welcome

Thanks! How did you guys do last night?

I split for 1st and got 7 packs

@@joshcaldwell84 saw that. Congratulations!

You are so welcome

You are very welcome!

Definitely going to be short supply but hopefully set one taught the LGSs better ways to get them to players

Thank you very much

A lot of staples in both decks this time. I like that they seem to be doing it on purpose based on these and set 1 starters.

Love the Amethyst/Steel love

Yeah, Amethyst bounce will definitely see some play. Too much synergy to ignore.

I would agree. A lot of value in a lot of these characters to create advantage

#5 Keep it going.

Bouncing any of the Merlins is a good time 💪

You’re welcome

I think Mim and Merlin were done very well

Lol all good

Thanks!

I’ve been testing a little bit already!

He’s actually really good too

@@edwardmorse6283Someone tonight was calling him the immortal chicken every time we played him. So much fun! But he was only almost immortal as Kronk did banish him for good once. 😢

You are very welcome

I ended up playing both over the weekend and felt Steel Amethyst was slightly better but also slightly harder to pilot

Yeah, he’s very good. I like him better in constructed but still good in limited

It’s pretty strong especially in limited format

It felt like it changed my play style quite a bit tonight with the new resist component. But it was fun learning how to use it effectively.

@@kendramathes don’t forget armor lasts through a full turn

@@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jtThat is hard to remember! Gotta use a marker on my character for sure!

Brewing with the G.O.A.T right now!

I think you can with either but I do feel like this one is a stronger overall choice

All good 😉

So three pack to build with?? You could have a whole new deck!

@@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt exactly, that's if the pulls are favorable. Is sealed play the same like other sealed play, where you can use any colors?

@@Dragonia9 well that should add a ton of flexibility

⁠@@Dragonia9I’m not sure about the color restrictions. I wonder if LGSs get any say in that or if there’s a very specific laid out approach. 🤔

@@kendramathes I guess I'll find out at noon... If you want I'll let you know what my LGS says, if it's universal rules, or specific to each different GS.

Both are much better than Chapter 1 decks but I would lean towards Steel Amethyst just do to the recursion and resist getting a lot of value out of your characters

In my very small amount of testing bounce seems better as a supplement than the focus of the deck.

Congratulations you won the drawing!

Woo hoo!!! Where do we go from here? Happy Thanksgiving! Take your time.@@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt

@@lorcanabanana hit me up on my socials so I can get mailing address

@@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt Done. Thanks again and happy Thanksgiving!

The other deck probably going to be more popular on the shelves but this one does feel stronger in the heads up

The real question is…do you have any regrets? Or glad you chose it?

Won with it tonight!

He didn’t just win. He was 1st out of 49!! 😮 He might not toot his own horn, but I will for him. 🥳😂

@@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt you crushed your competition.

@@samuelbourdeau1545 lol don’t know about all that

@@kendramathes 😂

Noice

Sometimes you don’t have a card to discard!

@@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt Question is then, if its still not proper play. Generaly if You have no cards in hand, then You put the top card of Yours deck in grave. I'am not any expierence player in Lorcana, so iam not sure here - but in other games (like MTG) its still proper to do it - becose ther is bigger chance You will put the "weaker" card then the best card in the deck in grave, so you increase Yours chance to draw the "best" card.

@@MareczqZglos generally would only play Cinderella if there is a card you want to get rid of in your hand or a very specific card you are digging for. Otherwise you run the risk of drawing something you way want later and having to discard it. For example you play her on turn two with four good cards that allow you plays for next two turns. You activate her ability and draw a 7 drop that is a key piece for the matchup but isn’t inkable. Now you have to either pitch it and risk not having it later when you need it or pitch one of the cards that were going to be your tempo plays for next two turns. Same for when you have an empty hand; you have no idea what the top card is and as such risk drawing your optimal play and discarding it. Unlike Magic the banish zone is much less accessible than discard pile so when something hits banish it’s usually gone for good.

Getting close!
