Into the Inklands Amber Emerald Starter Review

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

What do you guys think of the new Amber Emerald Starter?

[@Wishbone2420]

Trying to help six grand kids under the age of 13 learn and play, getting decks x6 at these prices is hard. Any deck is so appreciated. Learn so much about play. Thanks for that.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Well don’t forget to comment on the other giveaway video as well!

[@sjkell03]

I hear you, I was buying for my 2 as well, they live overseas and they are just now seeing products

[@Airdaman1]

If I win either give it to this guy!

#48 here! Hoping this set makes Emerald relevant in the meta. Cheers my man!

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Emerald is due for some love

[@user-bh4qm2ch8u]

#107 I really love the ability of the dalmatian puppy so you can have 101 dalmatians in a deck.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

You can actually have more than that. Lucky, Rolly and Patch all got cards too so you could have 99 puppies and 5 named ones.

[@junkyardhawg]

32 - If I get the chance, I think I'm going to try to get this one starter deck. We shall see since it took me about 3 months after first set to even get my hands on any physical copies/see them in the wild.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Hopefully the supply increase should help with that this time

[@johncantrell6309]

64 Finally getting a chance to watch this. Can't wait to play with this deck in the Starter deck challenge. It looks very decent for a starter deck.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Yeah, one of the better ones they’ve done

[@mugget1759]

51! I'm excited about puppies and hope to see them possibly be meta in some way.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

I think the named puppies could see some play for sure

[@dimitrisiliadis2592]

9, emerald is becoming very interesting in this new set

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

It’s due for some time in the spotlight

[@chags3512]

#57. I have dove head first big time Into Lorcana after being so late to the game (only discovered it 2 weeks ago). Playing catch up and trying to learn how to play!

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

It’s a ton of fun! Welcome to the hobby!!

[@phinx828]

4, I love sapphire... but Pluto and Robin Hood are amazing for being in a starter pack

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Yeah I was shocked when I saw them both in same deck

[@clautzenheiser]

Number 3 baby! Love the vid and great review! Can’t wait for the next set to drop.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Just one week away!

[@clautzenheiser]

@@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jtI know! Im not counting the days or anything lol.. and i for sure did not take that weekend off work.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

@@clautzenheiser sorry boss feeling sick 🤢

[@twiggytags7920]

#1 the other deck don’t stand much of a chance it seems. This seems like it can just play character and quest out while the other will spend the whole time just trying to stop them. 😢

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Yeah, hard to see a path to victory for the other starter

[@Xx6footBangxX]

#74 This is why Lemon Lime is one of the best decks in the game, from the jump! Lol

[@Zakhero]

78, I'm looking forward to being at some release events

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Me too! Can hardly wait

[@SanguineAbyss-lu6tl]

Like 22, I think this one is looking like the better starter to me.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

I would agree

[@user-lg3yb9nv8e]

Excited about the Amber cards over all💛

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

There’s new Stitches for you too

[@Mcgyverson]

53! Thanks for these reviews, I’ll be attending a prerelease starter deck challenge as my first in person lorcana experience! 😬

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Nice! Good luck. 🍀

[@solstra2]

I like this deck over the other one for sure #46. Another great video and review.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Yeah there is a lot to like about this one

[@PDWaterhouse]

Like #19. Really enjoying these breakdowns

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Thank you very much

[@Silberschnatz]

#56 I love to play in starter deck challenges, it was quite fun back than in set 2 to discover the bounce mechanics. Eager to play with all the dalmatians!

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Yeah, I do enjoy limited play quite a bit. Little more exciting than constructed imo

[@redmage808]

Maybe 3-4 sets down the line, I wouldn't mind trying a "movie" format, where you can play any color card but the have to be from the same movie/show. So like you would have purple Maleficent, Yellow Prince Phillip, Blue Aurora, etc It definitely wouldn't be legal but I'd be willing to try it on the kitchen table

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

We’ve been toying around with something like that locally. We’ve been discussing two movies due to the lower card pool though.

[@russellgomes1953]

#49! Thanks for helping me on my upcoming starter deck challenge!

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

🎶 you’re welcome 🎶

[@davidkeever1082]

Like number 9! I like your deck breakdowns! Do you play on pixelborn?

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Thanks and yes, I do play on Pixelborn

[@Darkale91]

49 - This deck seems pretty solid! The locations and the few cards that care about locations feel a little bit forced though

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

The locations are good tempo lore generators but outside of that not much synergy

[@sixexgames]

#83 Can't wait to play this deck in a tourney on Friday!

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Let me know how you do!

[@peterheirman]

#32 Love the Peter Pan

[@christopheroka2414]

99, Can't wait to make my "99" puppy deck 😁

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Much appreciated

[@danielmacy9076]

24 stoked for another green deck

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

And a solid one at that!

[@derekdixon6624]

Like #97. Almost there! I like this deck out of the box a little better than the other. The more aggressive curve and more ink availability seems pretty helpful.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Very much so! Hopefully finish the contest today on release day!

[@Toualee19]

Nice review! ❤❤❤

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Thanks for watching

[@Airdaman1]

Pluto is the man err Dogg!!!

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

So good, hard to believe he’s in the starter

[@DeviousDunn]

47 love this new set its a beauty really want the rls legacy enchanted ❤

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

I may pick one up but if I open 1 I kinda hope its not a location

[@stephenwalsh3643]

15, the Amber character colour palette is very easy on the eyes :)

[@roadrunner9332]

@13:54 According to the card, you need 4+ OTHER characters in play. So Lucky and three other characters wouldn't be enough.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Yeah, it was noticed after the recording. Good catch!

[@user-lg3yb9nv8e]

Great info! Thanks as always for sharing.

35. The pluto accelerator is interesting.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

He could see some play as that 7 drop on four is problematic for a lot decks

[@kaymos3470]

#91 would be nice if emerald is at least playable outside of discard.

[@kazinstrife2048]

#105 puppies!!! I would drop the Hypnotize also.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Yeah, it’s +1 net cards which isn’t terrible but isn’t essential if you have better stuff

#41. You’re the man. Thanks again!

31…. So would anyone really take advantage of the + in 60+ cards for the Dalmatian deck

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

They may just for fun but no real benefit right now in my opinion

Thanks! I have some videos on how to improve on Pixelborn play and I try to post videos of play of specific decks as well.

[@paperboy4584]

#80 hope you hit 1k subs soon.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Me too! Trying to get there before set drops 🤞🏻

[@ChaosSin]

This deck is definitely going to outpace the other right out of the gate. Keep inking till about 7 and be done and can do it very reliably every turn. I dont see how the other deck can combat this reliably. #8

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Yeah, I like to try and be optimistic and keep on open mind but it looks bleak

[@ChaosSin]

Opening night I'll be using the Ruby/Sapphire while the wife uses this deck. So I'm hoping I get some 1-pack magic.@@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt

[@minimoonfc]

68 - I have a question on moving characters to locations. If a card like Peter Pan lets you gain more by moving to a location, does that count as an action for that character? Or can he move there, gain that more, and then also quest/challenge/sing?

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Great question; no it does not count as one of the characters actions for the turn. It is simply a cost and that character Can perform actions as normal for the rest of the turn.

[@minimoonfc]

Cool! I really see locations speeding game play up a bit, which is great for slow players like me that struggle when it comes to a 3rd game in a round! 😂

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

@@minimoonfc not sure how much of an impact they will have on constructed but we shall see!

[@user-lg3yb9nv8e]

YES❣️💙

[@clautzenheiser]

Hey, for the lucky card that cost 4. You said “If you have him and 3 other characters in play, when you quest with lucky, the other characters have an extra lore” but his ability says “when you have 4 OTHER characters in play”. So doesn’t that mean you need lucky down as well as 4 OTHER characters to trigger this ability?

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

You are correct! I made a mistake on the video 😅

[@clautzenheiser]

@@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jtOh no worries! I was thinking the same as you but i have watched your video twice and caught it the second time. Thanks for the reply!

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

@@clautzenheiser you’re very welcome!

[@baconsir1159]

Floodborn Pluto being a 1-of is annoying, given you’ll almost definitely want 4

He’s rare though so getting multiple in a starter would be unlikely

[@wanderingmonstagaming]

63 I like Tinker Bell except that she is uninkable. Be Our Guest is a solid card and this is the same effect on a body.

[@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt]

Be Our Guest is also a two cost song so it can be played much earlier to set up character curve. Also the fact that BoG exists already means you’re probably playing it over this Tinkerbell if you need the effect.
