[@yolobro.]

Really appreciate the walkthrough! Minus the monstrous dragon, was able to cold foil the rest of the deck. Aggro is a challenge when I run into it at local tournaments, but I’m banking on most going Ruby/Amethyst, steelsong and blue steel for the set championships.

[@QuantumMercury]

This can struggle into RA, but RA can also struggle into this.

[@yolobro.]

@@QuantumMercury True, especially against a skilled opponent. But since R/A has virtually no good item removal, and with addition of lucky dime, matchup isn’t as bad as it was set 2.

[@QuantumMercury]

@@yolobro. if you play against Ruby amethyst, you need to really plan out how your mid and late game turns are going to end up. It depends on how the game develops on the opponents and, but usually you want to establish your lucky time as early as possible to start gaining advantage without letting your phone get too wide of a board state.

[@Samral90]

This is my favourite Deck, but i fear that in Store Champs there will be a very weird offmeta loosersbracket. If you Hit early Aggro Decks, and Go in the loosing bracket into more Aggro Decks that got stomped by Steel.... You are doomed. 🙄 I:ll Play Something different i think 😢

[@LorcanaLingo-lv4fx]

Love the irl deck lists!

[@QuantumMercury]

Thanks!

[@CapyInDaClub]

I’ve been playing 2 copies of Agrabah to help with Aggro. It’s definitely helped me clutch games or at least apply pressure. Also, I just think you need to find space for at least 1-2 belles. It’s also a good bait card when you know they have spot removal mid game and then it can help ramp.

[@LorcanaLingo-lv4fx]

Would love more ruby sapphire ruby gameplay

[@quickfreeze4]

I made this same deck but instead of the 4 grandma tala and 4 gastons i I put the Ducktales (2 Huey, 2 Louie, 2 Dewey, Scoorge and Mcduck Manor) characters in. Deck runs pretty smoothly. And I can see how the gaston and grandma would be a choice...I just wanted a ducktales "themed" deck. It works with the ducks.

[@QuantumMercury]

That’s cool, themes are fun!

[@nlow4719]

These reviews are awesome. I'm going to stick with the ruby amythyst you had. I have had a lot of luck with it.

[@QuantumMercury]

Glad it’s been working for you!

[@nlow4719]

The "last ditch effort" over the "Pinocchio" has been amazing.

[@wulfknightz9526]

What would your tier list of current decks be going into the championship. Really fighting myself over which deck I want to take.

[@QuantumMercury]

I want to make a tier list, but have struggled to get the time to do so.

[@Evercade_Effect]

Thanks for the deep deck dive. 💯

[@QuantumMercury]

No problem!

[@treybartholomew1070]

Great video❤

[@QuantumMercury]

Thank you.

[@RLA1983]

Belle seems like a good option

[@QuantumMercury]

Belle is good but hard to fit in this list.

[@RLA1983]

Could always play the 2 cost tala and belle. Play belle after dime is down and if they don’t handle it, it’s 15 lore in 2 turns :/

[@luce8658]

What do we do about emerald/ Amethyst bounce ? It feels like a rly bad matchup to me every time … and we have basically no answer to Ursula besides be prepared ? Do you have any ideas especially for the matchup ?

[@christianbraun8067]

the biggest thing ive found is mulliganing any be prepared in your opening hand making ursula whiff. You have enough draw power that you should be able to find a be prepared eventually. going first is also really important in this matchup too. Even with those things this is still the hardest matchup for the deck.

[@H1V3M1ND1]

I play rocket stitch to help with the matchup but if they open well and you don’t have the perfect answers it’s definitely the worst spot this deck can be in

[@QuantumMercury]

Emerald decks do give this some trouble, you need to stall for the end game, because they have no way to board clear you past 5-6 ink. The issue is if they push too far ahead you likely can’t comeback if they’re able to close out with Amethyst Goats. If you see more aggro you can tech in Locations and the Hei Hei/Rocket Stitch I mentioned to help beat aggro.

[@misterchip1984]

I want to like this... but it's really weak against location based Ruby Amethyst. Even the hook and Maui aren't enough...

[@rooster5man]

Lucky Dime really makes all the difference

[@christianbraun8067]

I honestly have not had too much trouble with that matchup but I can see why it could be an issue.

[@QuantumMercury]

You have to remember that you’ll play matches differently. Against RA they should be valuing Goats and trying to aggro you. You should be aggressively scrutiny to set up Dime to push through their lore gain. If they drop Castle you have to have a Maui in reserve to put it ASAP.

[@kevinavila5442]

Do you think noi would be alright? For 2 cost? It can trade well I think with 1 cost and with pawp you get the raise /ward. Plus quests for 2.

[@QuantumMercury]

No, Noi is way to fragile now with Smee, Hook, Snake, Rafiki, and Fox being used a lot.

[@kevinavila5442]

Yeah true. What about Aladdin and shift for Aggro? Maybe even 1 cut to the chase if you can drop Aladdin. On 8 or shift for early plays. Or is that too slow.

[@kevinavila5442]

Or even aggrabah

[@YoFrxsty]

I NEED MORE LGS STREAMS

[@QuantumMercury]

I haven’t been to locals in a month. Been very busy unfortunately.

[@oOoJudeoOo]

Thanks quantum I been looking for help! :(

[@QuantumMercury]

Best of luck, man!

[@LorcanaLiam]

The problem with Ruby Sapphire is if you lose round 1, you're paired up against aggro for the rest of the tournament and you have a terrible time.

[@cardboardcarnivores]

That’s kinda some crazy logic

[@QuantumMercury]

Podcana talked about this. I think you need to take things with a grain of salt.

[@LorcanaLiam]

@@QuantumMercury this was 100% said in frustration to my local smaller tournaments (

[@QuantumMercury]

@@LorcanaLiam Then yes, this deck will struggle with variance. Being anti meta makes it strong against the decks that dominate rogue and compete with other top decks

[@zigbig2]

Would you say this deck or the R/A deck is better for the upcoming tournaments? I just can't decide which to play

[@H1V3M1ND1]

Essentially ruby amethyst has no terrible matchups but few amazing matchups. Ruby sapphire on the other hand can sometimes struggle against aggro but eats most steel decks and goes over the top of most decks in the format. I would play whatever you’re more comfortable with but besides that unless you’re expecting a lot of aggro I would go Ruby sapphire

[@QuantumMercury]

RA is the most well rounded, RA is a meta call if you want to beat Steel.

[@-ArcticEden-]

really having a bad time vs aggro decks with this deck. I switched from R/A trying it out. Any advice for first turns ?

[@Samral90]

there is none. if you face aggro, try and ramp to 7 and hit be prep, or you are doomed

[@QuantumMercury]

Against aggro you want to hit Queen early to slow down 1 threat and then hopefully One Jump or Quill on T3 to turbo out Maui on T4 to start and stabilize. From there it’s about removal. You can try switching to the Hei Hei and Stitch Rocket version of the deck for more low drop anti aggro options.

[@-ArcticEden-]

@@QuantumMercury Thank you! Will give it a go :)

[@Oldschulplaya]

Had you considered Nickie Wilde? Thanks for the video.

[@rooster5man]

I think he would prefer a 4 drop that draws like Tala over Nick that basically does Tamatoa's job. Essentially, you're paying 1 more ink to play the Pawpsicle again to draw 1 after playing Nick for 4, versus paying 4 to look at the top 2 cards and draw 1.

[@Oldschulplaya]

@@rooster5man I guess so, I was thinking he might like the body that's gets the popsicle and can quest.

[@rooster5man]

@@Oldschulplaya You also have to be sure Pawpsicle is in your discard when you play Nick, so it's sort of conditional, whereas Tala is a guaranteed draw

[@Oldschulplaya]

@@rooster5man True dat 😊

[@QuantumMercury]

Yeah, everyone here already outlined why no more Nick in these builds.

[@MrMasteryder]

People still not on Maurice's workshop huh, I think it'll be the next iteration of the deck

[@rooster5man]

He doesn't want too many uninkables and it looks like Dinner Bell is better drawpower for him anyway

[@QuantumMercury]

I’m not sure if you play enough items to warrant it, it can be a tough engine to keep going.

[@julioolvera6606]

Why do you think let it go can't fit in the list?

[@QuantumMercury]

It can, just playing other things instead.

[@lnfernalangel7292]

Why Sapphire Ruby Over Sapphire Steel?

[@rooster5man]

Steel's drawpower is draw 1 discard 1, on top of Ruby having Be Prepared versus Grab your Sword (that may not wipe out your opponent's board)

[@christianbraun8067]

The only thing that steel has is AWNW and beast. While those cards are more "powerful" than anything in ruby the decks removal package is so much better than the steel version. Be prepared, tremaine, maui ect. While grab your sword is cheaper it does not kill any of the relevant threats in amethyst matchups.

[@QuantumMercury]

If you’re in a steel heavy metal.

[@crazysquriel]

I still keep a few Manor's in the build, but not for red. They run over the location too easy, it's for Aggro decks. Emerald builds don't often have big attackers and really struggle to get through 9 health. Taking a turn off early to drop that against something like an Emerald Steel build can just win you the game.

[@crazysquriel]

Should also run some Belle's tbh. They really help you clutch out wins, especially in the mirror.
