Have you had a chance to experiment with the purple steel mill deck? That deck was my favorite deck in set 2 and I want to continue it in 3 but it seems to be so far.behind now without jafar
@ZefaGames5 ай бұрын
I have not touched purple steel mill this set. I loved that deck set 2 as well but the green toolkit seems absurdly too strong right now. Purple steel does really feel like it'd rather go down the jafar path.

I’ve been in a spot when I’ve just had an Ursula on the board late game and they’ve gone wide. I dropped him and storm raged on him to kill and draw 2. One being a wheel and away we go

Lyle is banished at the same time as the other characters, so no I don't think he will trigger. This interaction is in many other card games as well and the card has to survive to "see" other characters being banished.

I see a lot of self draw. Seeing only 8+ above an opposing player seems like you may accidentally put yourself in a position where you mill yourself and can’t find an alternate win con
@ZefaGames5 ай бұрын
I found that I actually don't mill them too often and just win through tempo and card advantage myself. Also a lot of decks have a lot of card draw themselves so it allows me to still mill them should I choose to go that route. Also, ursula cycling back the double sing cards back into the deck keeps my deck size healthy for the mill path.

I can’t see why Lyle shouldn’t trigger on a be prepared. He still sees it happen, so his ability should go on the stack. And yes, I know we don’t have a stack in lorcana but triggered abilities like baby kuzco drawing a card have to go somewhere. We don’t say “ah, but kuzco isn’t on the battle field, so you don’t get his ability”
@rorobear19405 ай бұрын
Be prepared is a simultaneous trigger, everything dies at the same time so he isn’t around to see characters get banished
@LorcanaVillain5 ай бұрын
Baby Kuzgo triggers specifically when banished. Lyle needs to be on the field when a card is banished to get trigger.
@LeviClay5 ай бұрын
@@LorcanaVillain it doesn't change the point I've made. When a triggered ability happens, it has to go somewhere. Just like when you multiple trigger at the start of turn. You're deciding what order they resolve in. So the triggers have to go somewhere. So it stands to reason that when be prepared happens, those Lyle's trigger still happens, regardless of whether he's around to see the ability resolve. Just like if you have an effect that said "whenever one of your characters is banished, you gain one lore". Things like that are designed to punish boardwipes. This is clearly that. It doesn't say "whenever one of your other characters is banished BUT Lyle isn't"

Do you think you can mill someone effectively in a Bo3 match on paper without drawing/going to time every final round?
@ZefaGames5 ай бұрын
once mill gets going, i feel like it wraps up the game fairly quickly as it tempos out whole new world turn after turn and finishes the mill process after 6 whole new worlds usually. But a lot of my games don't go to milling and just end up winning on board with card advantage.

locations just doesn't feel like it fits in mill, but definitely could be part of a different green steel variation, particularly an aggressive one with cursed merfolk. and of course there's the bayou beast sheriff of nottingham combo deck too.

We do have ok ink dilution with playing a 66-68 card list. Also, strike a match helps filter out some of the uninkables early. 20 has felt much better than the original 23-26 that was run during set 1 mill.

Shouldn't the mill version of this deck be terrible in this meta because of Jafar? Figured playing AWNW would just guarantee they destroy you with his ability.

If they can get jafar to stick sure... but he has to be in play and exerted, and through double songs of strength of a raging fire, storm rage on + robin hood snipes, + mother knows best or just simply ursula hand disruption and taking the non-mill lines, i've found green steel to be actually favored in this matchup.

Lyle should not trigger lore loss off of Be Prepared because he will not be on the board to see the other characters banished - all characters are banished at the same time and since there is no stack like MTG, it'll negate that. Lyle will SEE Be Prepared played, but he is instantly banished at the same time as all other characters.
