Yeah grabbing me coffee ☕️. Happy new year

[@rstilwell]

Thanks for the great podcast! This is quickly becoming one of my favorites!

Hi, it would be great if you could upload a video specifically on Green Purples matchup into the Doc/Mines build of Amber steel. I feel as though I’m losing to it 2/3 of the time. The traditional Amber steel I win over 50% of the time. I bought your guide for set 6. Maybe something additional can be added in the guide? Thank u again!!

[@joshandali13]

Smee is one of the reason purple steel is viable xD

For what it’s worth, Diablo won 4 out of the 5 NA DLCs within which it was legal. I also feel like Big Sisu is easy enough to play around for non aggro decks, so you might be biased there 😉 My list would be: 5. Brawl 4. Madame Medusa - The Boss 3. Mr.Smee - Bumbling First Mate 2. Ursula - Deceiver 1. Diablo - Devoted Herald Lots of honorable mentions that were close for me - big sisu, Chernabog’s followers, Pete, Doc, Deceiver of all, Genie.

hello artabax do you think that Hades Lord of the dead is a place in the green purple deck

[@Artabax]

@@Pokemel2605 the uninkability really hurts him...., so i dont think he is the way to go. Also the meta is very fast and he shines more in slower metas

[@Pokemel2605]

thank you very much for taking the time to answer me. Your videos teach us a lot. I'm a fan of yours, keep it up ❤️

[@timheinrichson]

Very good episode and yes, the buffet during the EU champs was delicious 😁

[@parttimecomix]

Sounds like Artabax is back tracking on Diablo so he can make his WWE heal turn and play Diablo 😆

[@chriscordeiro1052]

It speaks to how well they are designing this game without necessarily power creeping everything when Diablo of all cards isn’t at the forefront of a broken card conversation

[@chriscordeiro1052]

OR…. Artibax is just coping

[@Timo_MerTom]

You keep mentioning it, and I keep seeing Merlin Rabbit in decklists, supposedly because he’s good. I just don’t understand his value. He’s uninkable and costs four ink. Every time I play him, I feel like I’m losing a turn. Could you explain why Merlin Rabbit is considered so good?

[@chriscordeiro1052]

@@Timo_MerTom everytime rabbit is played, without any other actions required, it draws you 2 cards. Crab, questing, trading, bouncing… all these things add tremendous value the longer the rabbit stays on the board. No matter what happens, it replaces itself, and draws you a card when it is removed. It also allows you to play into board states that otherwise would be undesirable. Genie into a potential shift Sisu or be prepared is dangerous. Rabbit into the same board state sometimes accelerates your recovery turn

hi, can you watch your meta guide for green purple in German, or are there German subtitles? Mein Englisch ist schlecht... Liebe Grüße

[@Myria10]

Hey, the guide on Metafy is a written guide (in English), maybe using DeepL or ChatGPT as translation tools could work?

[@ultimayagamer2172]

@@Myria10 Thank you for your answer. Is the guide purely written? Then I could really have it translated :) Or is there also a video in it? Greetings
