Now that the deck lists are our for the new Rise of the Floodborn set I'm taking an in depth look at each deck and giving some insights on the upcoming starter deck challenges. Music I use: "Dreams" by Bensound.com

I'm really digging the new Amethyst low-drops like Llama Kuzco and HeiHei. I like this starter a bit more than the Amber/Sapphire one BUT it's hard to deny the power of a Turn 2 Shifted The Queen. I enjoy all your content!

For constructed the amethyst steel has the needed cards for bounce, for limited I felt the sapphire Amber just had the better ability to draw cards and go wide with big booty characters

@MareczqZglos6 ай бұрын
@@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt Question is then, if its still not proper play. Generaly if You have no cards in hand, then You put the top card of Yours deck in grave. I'am not any expierence player in Lorcana, so iam not sure here - but in other games (like MTG) its still proper to do it - becose ther is bigger chance You will put the "weaker" card then the best card in the deck in grave, so you increase Yours chance to draw the "best" card.
@HobbyHeroPlays-oi8jt6 ай бұрын
@@MareczqZglos generally would only play Cinderella if there is a card you want to get rid of in your hand or a very specific card you are digging for. Otherwise you run the risk of drawing something you way want later and having to discard it. For example you play her on turn two with four good cards that allow you plays for next two turns. You activate her ability and draw a 7 drop that is a key piece for the matchup but isn’t inkable. Now you have to either pitch it and risk not having it later when you need it or pitch one of the cards that were going to be your tempo plays for next two turns. Same for when you have an empty hand; you have no idea what the top card is and as such risk drawing your optimal play and discarding it. Unlike Magic the banish zone is much less accessible than discard pile so when something hits banish it’s usually gone for good.
