Shadow's Top Five! - How To Play Princess Irulan

[@reversereverse7349]

Great review. Amber aside, I love how close Uprising’s leaders are in power. Paul did a great job this time making everyone viable.

[@hidden-assets]

Completely agree. These are great leaders.

[@darkportents9835]

love me some Irulan! I am even more excited to play her again after this video

Water Peddler is a 1-cost card, too. Would be great to have in Uprising with Irulan!

It's be strong for I think pretty much anyone but yeah, obvious synergy with her.

[@jrhawk0032]

I just played a game with her last night in seat 3 and that was nice going into round 7.

[@BlackShadow993]

As I say in the video, it's about giving yourself a chance later in the game. Rarely is Irulan going to just run away with it, she's designed to be mid-late game.

After this review I played two solo games with this leader. Two comments. First, by trashing the lower quality cards without buying too many new ones you have a lot more chance of having your ring and diplomacy almost every turn and have full board access. I found myself trashing about 2/3 of the cards from my starter deck not the new ones to get spice. I found the value of more deck control with 7-8 cards as good if not better than 10-12 cards and trashing cards your flowing in and out. Thoughts?

[@BlackShadow993]

That can defo be an advantage as it allows more consistency but you are also limiting your ways of getting points as you're almost never getting any SMF points with a 7-8 strong deck. So there has to be compensation.

[@MucPezy]

Hi short question, is it possible to trash so many cards with your ring that your deck and discard pile don't consist of 5 cards anymore?

[@hidden-assets]

Sure. Why not?

[@MucPezy]

@@hidden-assets Because then you can't draw 5 cards anymore. Don't know if that would be allowed :D

[@hidden-assets]

@@MucPezy you would draw up to 5. :)
