Great analysis of Ursula's deck and some interesting answers to her cards! But there is one mistake in your strategy of the deck You start your turn by making all your characters ready and after that the 'start of your turn' effects trigger Which means Jafar doesn't work in combination with the Queen's Castle because he is not exerted the moment the location's effect triggers

I did see the Gateway game in the store. It is a neat idea for starters, as they do not have any cards, but not as interesting to people like us because by the looks of the box, they have reprints of cards. Although, there is reward packs in there, but they may also be reprints, but maybe not. No details on box. The game does come with a board, an interest to me, but again, I know not what it looks like.

If the token cards wind up turning out to be character collectors cards, I would rather have them instead of puzzles, providing they intend to put out many different characters. Although, they might wind up being a new game, trying to collect them all lol

I would like to collect the entire Wreck it Ralph set. Therefore, the 2 racers you got, would fit the bill. Not to spoil it for you, but like the starter deck you showed, This series reprints characters from previous sets, like Robin Hood, but apparently, like the deck you showed, there will be variations of the same characters in this series, again like the deck had 3 different Robin Hood’s. That shouldn’t be too much of a spoiler to you, as you obviously just lived through it, but that is something that bothers me. You could slap these statistics and abilities on any character. Why not showcase more characters instead of repeats? Jungle Book: we’ve seen Baloo the bear, Ka the snake appeared in an ability, King Louie the ape, and Shear Khan the tiger. Where is Maugli the Human, Bageria? The Panther (excuse spelling), the elephants? Where is Dumbo and his group? Lady and the Tramp? There is a long list, yet they keep repeating, but probably justify some by changing colors. You have to admit the Robin Hood has now been overdone in Emerald and Steel! How many Friar Tucks have you seen? How about the Rhino guards with the big Halberds? Even Tweedle Dum and Dee hasn’t made the cut yet. I’m surly losing interest. I don’t even have anyone to play with. There isn’t any Lorcana play in my area, only MTG and Pokémon.

Hypnotic Deduction: you draw 3 cards into your hand and then you take two cards from your hand and place them on top of your deck. So imagine your Ursula deck. This card would have been useful in finding your Mother Gothel card and putting back less useful cards. Also, the Hyena’s name would be pronounced Bons-eye, like the little Japanese tree In Karate kid movie.
@atomicninjag
@atomicninjag 9 күн бұрын
Yeah, but then I’d know that I was gonna spend 2 turns drawing 2 not so useful cards. I do think in the right deck it could be useful though, like being able to ink the top card, if you know what that card is then that becomes a much better card

I missed you winning level 2 (saw you lose level 2) and haven’t seen you try level 3. ( unless you beat 2 and lost on level 3) Anyways, congrats! From what I saw of the 5th series, I’m a bit disappointed. Like Heroclix, there are so many characters to make clix / cards for, yet they keep repeating the same characters. Not a big seller to me. At this point, I think they should change the rules so that you could use all 6 colors in your deck, primarily so you can make theme teams (like Winnie the Pooh! All the characters are stretched across all 6 colors)

Yeah, I beat 2 first time then lost 3 and beat 3. All the links should be in the description of the videos, if not let me know and I’ll add them. I don’t think they’ll ever make it so that you can play all Inks at the same time but I can see a time where they may introduce a new ink (maybe a White, Black or both) where you can draw from other Inks or an extra ink type thing. There is the possibility tho that they will introduce a new game mode, like Illumineers quest where you can combine all the inks to make a themed deck, but I don’t think it will happen in the main game. Having said all that, we’re at the start of a new story now, maybe we’ll start to see a change in characters, we know we have a ton of Wreck it Ralph coming on Friday

I would not personally choose Mother Ghotel for this deck, I love her too and I myself tried her in my deck that was actually really similar to yours but I personally feel like (being the whole point of the game getting the lore and in this case reaching 20 before she reaches 40) if she doesn't quest at all and only turns cards in the hope (her hope) that they are actions to beat us, it gets a little boring. I suggest you Ursula's Garden instead (location 4 ink 2 moving 7 willpower 1 lore) that kinda cracks the code cause every opposing character quests for -1 lore, so she can have all her characters out but the majority of her character quests for 1, so they become useless and you only count the lore from her characters with 2+ lore (2=1, 3=2 ex) so basically she keeps moving and questing getting way less points but keeping the tension of chasing after her and beating her going so it doesn't get boring that was just my suggestion :)
@nescxa2602
@nescxa2602 22 күн бұрын
it also allows you better to pick the characters that are an actual "threat" and only challenge them instead of wasting your cards that you need to make your lore with on beating everyone of hers. also a very nice card it's under the sea that costs 8 and can be sang by multiple characters and puts all her characters with 2 or less strength on the bottom of her deck. she doesn't have many but it could be useful for the extreme difficulty.

Yeah, Ursula’s Garden is a great shout and would be a great card to take. I currently have 2 in my collection and I’m not really sure why I didn’t take them in the deck unless I didn’t have them when I built the deck. I also may have been only looking at cards that I had 3 or more copies of. But again, yeah, great card and I’ll definitely be trying that out. Thanks ☺️

Quick question. Regarding Items When Ursula draws Hex Crown Item and can play it as she has the ink cost. How come she can't then exert it right away to draw an additional card?
@atomicninjag
@atomicninjag 25 күн бұрын
@@Upthemedsit’s because resolving the row is how she activates the ability, so because she resolves the row first and then draws and reveals her cards the opportunity for her to exert it that turn is gone and she needs to wait for the next turn to resolve the row and draw the extra card. Hope that makes sense
@neonisin
@neonisin 25 күн бұрын
Does resolving the row not mean that if these characters can’t quest, they attack Mother Gothel? She would be banished by the first couple of characters then the rest would quest once she’s off the board.
@atomicninjag
@atomicninjag 25 күн бұрын
Thankfully no, the order that things happen is that -If her character can quest, they do -If her character has Reckless (Can't quest and must challenge if able) then it challenges -If her characters can't quest and don't have Reckless then they do nothing So Ursula has no characters that have Reckless, neither does she have any cards that give Reckless so none of her characters can challenge and with Mother Gothel on the field and exerted they also can't quest which means they do nothing. Now technically speaking, I also should not be exerting them because they do nothing, which means they shouldn't be exerting, because being exerted means that I can challenge them, but the way this deck works means I never want to challenge and exerting them helps me keep track of where I am in the row lol

Hey I’m loving your videos, I wanted to ask. In round 5 did Ursula have enough ink to cast both cards?
@atomicninjag
@atomicninjag 28 күн бұрын
Thank you ☺️ I’m really glad you’re enjoying them, I’m having a blast making them too. Yeah, so Ursula doesn’t spend ink the same way a player does, so in round 5 she plays a 4 cost “crushing wave” and a 3 cost “Magica de Spell” but she only has 5 ink. So as a player, if I wanted to play both a 4 and a 3 cost in the same turn I would need to have and spend 7 ink, Ursula just needs to have the ink in play, she doesn’t actually spend it, so technically speaking, not that this could ever actually happen, if she had 5 ink and drew 12 cards that were all 5 cost or less, then she could play them all in the same turn. I hope that makes sense?

Very great episode! Your commentary is awesome! Here is a thought: Fang can give Ward. If you have enough ink, it would be good to play it safe and put your characters on Fang. As close as you are getting to winning, it could possibly make that difference in the future.
@atomicninjag
@atomicninjag 28 күн бұрын
If you mean that ward will protect me from Ursula’s cheeky damage then that’s only partly true. Ward will only protect against targeted damage, anything that does damage across the board isn’t stopped by ward. For example, if her card says “deal 2 damage to the highest cost card” and that card has ward then because it’s targeting it Ward would work. If her card said “deal 2 damage to all opposing characters” or “banish all opposing characters” then ward would do nothing because there is no target, it’s a general effect, and most of her cards are non-targeting cards, especially those action cards. So in a few cases ward would help, but not in general. Though, I guess every little helps and it is always worth moving a character to a location just incase.

I did consider taking it down to 60 card limit however I like the few cards extra for 2 reasons, 1, once that card draw kicks in, finding Gothel isn't so much of a problem and 2 it gives me cards that I don't mind inking if I pull them early

15:26 Bell’s ink is still wet. Are you allowed to move an inked character to a location? OR would you have to wait for it to be dried? By the way, I do like this game screen you have now. It is a bit tight, for your side, but Ursula’s is just perfect! I do still think you could shrink your side margin’s info stats down 2 font sizes and gain some more board space, horizontally.
@atomicninjag
@atomicninjag Ай бұрын
Yes, you can move characters even when they are drying. The problem I'm having is that I can only manipulate the screen from the corners, not the sides so whenever I make it bigger or smaller it's for both horizontal and vertical and if I make it any bigger now then Ursula's cards will be smaller than the ones in the video, and (as you're about to see in the next few rounds) Ursula's row gets VERY full, VERY quickly, so I need them on the overlay for clarity lol

I think the extreme level will need 2 players. Her drawing and her crazy reclaiming her banished characters to her hand, is insane. I think it will require two players to keep her under control And gain lore. I also think having lore gaining lands are very important. Good luck on your journey. I also found out that the secret card will be in series five. I don’t think I’ll invest in series 5. I bought an “Epic” Big Box, when it was on sale, and All 4 series fits in it. Most cards are not sleeved and there is not enough space to sleeve them all AND fit them all in. The box is heavy as well.

The problem with that theory is that the more players you have, the more cards she draws so even though the players number of abilities and options increase, so do hers.

Good game! This broom deck is a better deck for solo play. You do make great graphic set ups, that’s for sure. I actually prefer the last one, because you can see her cards in play better, with that over board you had. I still think the font could be reduced, so you have more play mat space. The last one didn’t seem to have a glare as this one did. Your commentary is impeccable! You are like a sportscaster, picking up all the details! It makes everything else irrelevant as I can follow the gameplay so easy! I look forward to your continued plays. Maybe try building a healing deck (Amber) with An item removing deck (steel) Rapunzel , Benja, And Then Along Came Zeus, Grab your Sword, and your Mouse Armor would be some suggestions. I don’t know if those colors have evasive. Maybe Smash as well. The golden pack: I’ve seen the card, not sure what it does nor am I sure if it goes into your deck or is added to her deck. (Not even sure the color, if any, which I’m wondering if it goes in her deck.) I’d rather it be a character that hasn’t been used yet, like Pete’s Dragon (in green) Ty for playing and happy building!
