That last tidbit for the mulligan is very insightful, and something not a lot of new players would consider. Good looking out!

[@Illumiteers]

Thanks so much! It was something that occurred to us to mention late. These starter decks are built with parity in mind, I’m always amazing at how these little things can make a difference in a game.

[@Just_jill325]

This was a great video! Really explains how you can play with this deck. I’m newer to TCG and Lorcana and this was very try helpful!

[@elusiveart530]

I’m building a war of puppies

[@Illumiteers]

This is the way.

[@Dunston205]

What a great rundown. I played Puppies Starter Deck sight unseen on Sunday at our league and loved it.

[@sixexgames]

Awesome breakdown, will help for a starter deck tourney later this week!

[@Illumiteers]

Let us know how it goes!

[@westbergcomedy]

​@Illumiteers I played this deck and did well but I lost a game cuz I shifted Pluto out on turn 4 and it got dragonfired right away.

[@Illumiteers]

@@westbergcomedy Ooph. Yeah…that’s rough. There are only two Dragon Fires in the other deck, so, bad luck. Sometimes your opponent has the answers… But it sounds like the right play to me. If he had stuck, I’ll bet he would have won you the game. What do you think?

[@ReadySetDraw_TCG]

I love Starter decks that theme so attractively to new players yet also kind of telegraph how you can upgrade them. New players with this deck should automatically be able to notice the usefulness of cost reduction and establishing a wider board. This lends itself directly into the most consistent Amber strategies AND the flavorful choice (other puppies) will organically help the strategy as well. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Illumiteers]

Do you offer script writing services? Because that was so well said! Completely agree with you that all the starters are always so well designed. It’s a careful balance not to introduce many new cards and concepts to players all while making a deck that can perform well and win games. And I think they nailed it with this one!

[@ReadySetDraw_TCG]

@@Illumiteers lol thanks for the compliment, but for every good line like that, I’ve said 40 others that are a jumbled mess. 😅 I think the appeal and “onboarding” ability for new players is something we often overlook as experienced Lorcana players. We see reprints of commons from previous sets and may eye roll, but those cards aren’t really for us. Sometimes they could be filler, but usually they are a choice to ease in an interaction. Your video was great! I feel like that new player or “dabbling player” audience should find this information extremely useful.

[@kbell2660]

He we at video! I really appreciated the strategy tips. I’ve subscribed.

[@Illumiteers]

Oh, we hope it was helpful! Thanks so much for subscribing :) It really means a lot!

[@ijustwannaplay]

I watched this before my sealed tournament to prep and went 3-0 pulling an enchanted RLS Legacy 👏 thank you 👏

[@Illumiteers]

That’s awesome! Congrats! Glad the video was helpful. ☺️

[@spc4brownie]

This was amazing! I picked up one of each starter yesterday for my son and I to play.

[@Illumiteers]

Oh, awesome! Let us know how it goes!!!

[@lNLl]

Thank you for this amazing Starter Deck review! When the second is coming? :)

[@Illumiteers]

Thanks! And hopefully soon? We’re working hard on it! 😅

[@Chicanoheat]

Wow that was a lot lol. Newbie here, love the content 🤙🏼

[@crystalburns3327]

Thank you for this content.i find it super valuable. Will you do another for the other starter deck for set 3 too please?

[@Illumiteers]

Absolutely…we are working diligently on it! Sorry that we don’t have it out already…

[@crystalburns3327]

@Illumiteers excellent! No worries and thanks again!

[@trojanmandan7206]

Think the dream play is to drop pluto turn 3, then turn 4 tap him to reduce cost by 1 and then shift into bodyguard pluto for 4. You'll have a monster of an advantage at that point.

[@Illumiteers]

That’s a great play…just requires a little patience! Love it, though!

[@carlos_wrong]

Thanks a lot for these videos. I'm looking to get started in Lorcana and I'm still unsure if a Starter Deck is the way to go. I'm more interested in Amethyst/Steel, Sapphire/Steel ink combinations, but wonder whether Starters are the most cost-efficient way of building a viable deck. In any case, keep it up guys!

[@Illumiteers]

Thanks so much for watching! The starter decks are definitely a great way to learn to play and to understand the mechanics. As far as being a cost efficient means to build a competitive deck, well, they CAN be, but only if you are leaning a certain direction. And in this case, lemon/lime (Amber Emerald Bounce). Is likely the direction you would take this starter. With the ink combinations you mentioned, I think I would start to look at lists that appeal to you and work on singles for those decks. Now…we will never say that starters are a bad option - they are relatively affordable and really help you understand the game. Anyway, send us an email or message - happy to discuss further. This comment got away from me a bit!

[@stephanieflores277]

i just bought a starter deck from Floodborn to practice playing the game. wish i bought this one

[@Illumiteers]

They can both be fun! We have a video on the other deck as well, if if helps :)

[@Lorcanatics-wb5uc]

hello guys can you make a video about starteer decks from chapter 1 to set 3 if they are still able to win againts each other

[@Illumiteers]

Hey! We’ll work on it :) We love those starter decks and it would be a pleasure. Just have to squeeze it in!

[@hmgaming283]

💪🏼😎

[@cordialement4383]

Hi, in your opinion, which are the best starter decks out of all seasons ? Thanks 🙏

[@Illumiteers]

Oh dear! Good question. I think they call all be good, depending on how you pilot them. However, I think my favorite one is season one’s Amethyst / Amber starter. It comes with Friends and has some cool combos to play. Probably my all time favorite starter!
