thanks for the content. Much appreciated! Love hearing your thoughts on play lines.

Around the 28-30 min mark your opponent attacks Ariel with Maui and doesn’t put the damage markers on. When he takes out cogs the next turn he should’ve been cleared but he stayed on board 😮 lol. Love the video. Can’t wait to see more ❤

[@harlansweete]

haha we have noticed a few mistakes :D yes all part of the learning process. Was just so focused on getting the video done properly that I missed a lot of mistakes. Will respect the board next time!

[@solofalcon3046]

@@harlansweete I’ll take watching a few mistakes in a video if it means there’s more lorcana content for me to watch! Keep em coming 👍🏼

[@Safyris]

Love this matchplay content!! Hope you do more of it 😍😍😍

[@jharv62301]

Great video. Can you help explain the inclusion of the Arges Cyclops card?

[@harlansweete]

@@jharv62301 he is there to take out the sisu and stop it free questing :)

[@alateralus88]

Audio already up to par, great content. Loving each of ur posts

[@harlansweete]

Thank you :) that means a lot to hear

[@LaChazzz]

Nice video! That ink management though 😅 Sometimes it's hard to follow how much ink you've exerted or not! I'd be careful of taking that habit, as it could cause a warning in competitive tournaments!

[@harlansweete]

Yea I am pretty on it with tournaments and if my opps has a issue with it, they can always say. :) At my local league there is just no reason to cheat so it was a little more relaxed game

[@kellywang3470]

Hey Harlan, could you do a matchup guide against Ruby-amber? Esp with the new Gaston and Pluto, sometimes they go too fast for me to do anything…would love to hear your perspective on how to beat it/mulligan against them.

[@harlansweete]

I will do! That is one I kept meaning to cover but it was getting pushed back. Will hopefully be out today!

[@animefreak2438]

I noticed a lot of times you are hard casting a whole new world. I have a huge issue with the card because I always try and sing it and feel like I’m giving my opponent more value than I’m gaining if I spend a turn wheeling. But it seems very good for you. Is that my main problem with the card? Should I be much less afraid of hard casting it?

[@harlansweete]

It does take awhile to get used to it. Possibly I can do a video on how I view the card. If you are low on resources in your hand and your opps has a steady amount of card draw, you don't really mind if they are holding the cards in their hand or 7 fresh ones. Also the first wheel always does the real damage. Players will muligan for cards they want. As you see in this matchup my opps even uses Develop your brain. We then burn all those cards.

@@harlansweete I would love a video talking about a whole new world . As it’s a big part of blue steels overall identity

[@majobasil]

About to watch. I gotta say though, don’t spoil the outcome in the first couple minutes!

[@harlansweete]

Yea I didn't know which way to go with it. Either spoil it and then talk through how I got there or just let it play out. I have two more games recorded so I'll keep the outcome secret for those :)

[@majobasil]

@@harlansweetesweet thanks. I think it’s better that way cuz we as the viewer can try to analyze whether something will be a successful line.

[@harlansweete]

@@majobasil I agree :) Thank you for the input! I made a snap call when I started recording and went for saying the outcome. Will try it without for the next one.

[@stuartvasquez6404]

Harland I cut beast he just isn’t impactful enough and better on the play than on the draw I rather play the cogsworth anyway most times. Rise of the titans just seems better than him. What do you think?

[@harlansweete]

He very much is a flex card! Right now I want more than 4 5 drops so he sorta fits the spot perfectly as a 2x. But removing him is alright.

[@dragonx8]

Not to mention an item breaker for sapphire matchups is nice. And he can sing A Whole New World if you run it in your list. 4/4 body that doesn't die to Medusa is always a plus when they quest for 2. A lot of good things to say about the Beast as a 2 of

[@animefreak2438]

Bruh I hate your Inkwell management. I’d call you out irl lol . At least exert before every card you play so your opponent can follow along with your plays. I shouldn’t have to constantly check your ink to see if it’s correct

[@harlansweete]

@@animefreak2438 for sure in store champs I will!

[@MrDGPT]

The first be prep, she just exerted the ink but never actually played the card.

[@harlansweete]

That could be why she thought she played 2 lol.

[@harlansweete]

Oh yea! Just watched it back. Crazy haha. Still found the dub I suppose.

[@majobasil]

31:09 opponent swings with a Rabbit that wasn’t dry yet!

[@harlansweete]

Oh dear! A bit clumsy for sure. But tbh I wasn't on my best form either. Trying to record was getting me a little anxious! Nice spot :)
