Speed Run Wins WIth Uber Aggro Amber Amethyst

Amber Amethyst aggro has always been a fringe player in the Lorcana metagame. Can the new aggro tools in Amber propel it to even greater heights? One thing is for sure, this deck is fast!

[@rorobear1940]

I really appreciate that you include games where you're going second, those are the trickiest games that are hardest to win and are much more interesting than if you go first with an explosive start and roll someone over. Thanks as always for your videos, one of the few channels I have notifications on for!

[@Firstto20]

Great video and list as always! Been trying to find a nice list for Baloo as well! I like him a lot.

[@krzysztofp5017]

Absolutely amazing deck

[@bannibalharca]

Haha thanks! I'm not sure it's watch multiple times good, but I appreciate it.

[@xXJacoby04]

Very nice video. I've been trying to figure out the best aggro pairings since there are starting to be a lot more high-lore cards all around!

[@Blasco_Snap]

I've lost to this exact deck on Pixelborn. Great list. Moves very fast.

[@Milla4life2]

Learning the game and this is the deck I chose to learn, having lots of fun currently 26-19.

[@lorcana_inkwell]

What a great fun deck!

[@willandphil]

thanks! I hate it! but seriously, good vid. ideas on a low to the ground ruby amethyst aggro deck? (the new simba, scrappy cub being the genesis of this idea)

[@bannibalharca]

It probably looks pretty siliar to this, but with simba, lefou, surfer minnie. Slightly higher curve I would guess.

[@ltrain2381]

Bummer you didn't run up against any Ruby Amethyst. I ran your list and got rolled, since they have so many ways to deal with Kida shenanigans. My board has 0 attack? *insert oh no, anyway gif* Fox, Maui, Madame Medusa. Having a bad matchup against one of the consistently top decks makes it dead in the water for me. Thank you for the video!

[@Safyris]

Awesome video!! Would you update the deck at all since 3 months ago? I went and bought the cards in your list and wonder if I should make any changes before going into a tournament

[@disneylandnurse]

I beat this deck 2-1 last night with Ruby Amber. Felt mighty nice.

[@PedroLuisTeles]

Great vid! I'd love to hear your thoughts on Arthur. Thanks!

[@bannibalharca]

Arthur can definitely be good, but he is a little clunky. A copy or two would be fine, but you might want to remove some of the other clunky stuff for him.

[@ellieopdahl9686]

Aw yeah gimme that sweet, sweet aggro

[@BakedGoods]

Pirate Piggy OP ✨🤩✨

[@nerdenthusiastashton8164]

This is the deck I've been playing lately. I've been running the Rock Star Stitch line and 2 Mufasa as well. Kid of debated adding the Yzma line but that might be too slow or take out the Madam Mim combos.

[@bannibalharca]

I definitely think it's possible to build a more midrange version of the deck.

[@Blitz_99]

Very fun deck. Unplayable vs steel

[@brandonmoen7644]

Built this deck and it’s super fun to play. need one more piglet tho

[@neuromorph]

how does this deal with updated Steel Song, with 3 drop robinhood or other 5 drops. it brings GYS to turn 3...

[@user-tp1sl3dp9s]

Thoughts on adding the Stitch and stitch Rockstar to the deck?

[@Maniacstorm]

This exact deck got 2nd in our store championship

[@Itazzable]

What about replacing the Kidas by the Queens ?

[@BoofyBish]

Found this to be a better protection than kida

[@danielecocco3676]

Jafar opponent could have win if they quested first, nice win 🥳

[@Squizzomatic]

Thoughts on The Queens Castle here? Maybe over rabbit since you were kinda off on that it seems.

[@bannibalharca]

Definitely something to try. It was in my original list and I ended up shaving some top end to get lower to the ground. It would probably be the first card I tried in a second iteration for sure.

[@Squizzomatic]

@@bannibalharca I may try it at locals this week for fun lol. Instead of rabbit and maybe Spellbook. was also thinking Spellbook could be 99 puppies. Has a little more reach but also more expensive

[@VORTEX___]

Kida seems so interesting to try her out in more midrange builds. But is she only good in going first? You seem to always ink her going second

[@bannibalharca]

Well her role is kind of niche. She works best as a sort of lategame finisher, so inking the 5 drop early will be a common play I think.

[@_KB2187]

Looking to run this this week. Any changes you would make to the 60 after piloting a few games?

[@bannibalharca]

I'd probably try to fit tht queen's castle in somewhere for sure

[@onlyloretcg]

Maybe split the difference 2 Kida/ 2 queen castle I might try. Like you said rarely chance play her. Have deck similar to this prior set 3. Excited make this changes and try!

[@MicaRulz13]

I played olaf instead of kida. And queens castle instead of big kida. Runs great

[@onlyloretcg]

@@MicaRulz13 i also found at only 4 cost queens castle is nasty! Touch them deal with both characters and locations

[@Gnomepolean]

I've been trying pluto's to get on the board quicker and he shifts into a great body guard.

[@bannibalharca]

I thought about pluto, but I really just want cards that quest well. The deck is cheap enough that the ramp doesn't seem that important to me. Maybe in a more midrange version of the deck pluto would be good though.

[@MicaRulz13]

I have a similar deck it has consistent turn 5 wins

[@lordravenblade]

I think the "whoops" is that he should have sung AWHW then banished the lamp whish would have won.

[@DanteAlighieriIlBulloDiFirenze]

I woudld try another location instead of spellbook tbh, like for example forbidden mountain

[@bannibalharca]

That or queen's castle both seem reasonable to try.

[@billpemerton6096]

You need lucky in there

[@fransjoleihitu]

Hehe had some good results on pixelborn. Even had a mirror match 😆😆

[@fransjoleihitu]

I did some minor adjustments. Gonna test some more. But right now it looks very nice. And yeah, you need to agrro a lot before ink 5 opponent.

[@user-uc2hs2xt7v]

Whre we can get images for Inklands???

[@bannibalharca]

Usually the links are available in the pixelborn discord

[@firecrusades3397]

why no perdita or lucky ??

[@08padi]

Are we moving away from Arthur? Does it have bad synergy with piglet and wendy?

[@bannibalharca]

It's just clunky. That's all. You could play a couple and it would probably be fine if you cut some of the other clunky stuff for them.

[@08padi]

@@bannibalharca which would be? maybe 2 of the big kidas? everything else seems to be standard unless im missing something.

[@criticalpurrs9722]

This is nuts… I’d love to see it lose… I’m sure I could make it lose

[@bannibalharca]

One well timed Grab Your Sword is really all it takes. Definitely a glass cannon.

[@felipe495]

No lucky? 99 puppies? Perdita or pongo???

[@aghostinthecode289]

Why no Arthurs?

[@bannibalharca]

You could certainly try arthur he is just a little clunky and I didn't want to include too many slow uninkables is all. You could switch him in for spellbook or something if you wanted for sure.

[@haviick1014]

How are people playing this on pc

[@bannibalharca]

It's a 3rd party client called pixelborn. Google would be your friend if you're interested in setting it up.

[@gothicfemboy428]

We need a control deck to help slow this down.

[@bannibalharca]

There are plenty of steel decks that are up to the task I think.

[@gothicfemboy428]

@@bannibalharca if I had all the cards to make it good lol

[@terencefigueiredo2002]

And then, you dont go first or play against grey and loose ofc

[@bannibalharca]

This will certainly happen sometimes

[@ArcaneSky]

If you want to play with the Protector Kido you should replace the Simba with Kida, Royal Warrior as they are the same card but you get an extra shift target.

[@dadrifter0912]

But Kida Royal Warrior is Steel

[@ArcaneSky]

@@dadrifter0912OMG I cant believe I was that stupid. I was thinking of my own Amber/Steel deck when I posted that. Duh. Thank you. My bad.

[@nicholasrawlings9621]

Share losses

[@bannibalharca]

Well next time I record losses are coming. When ranked wasn't up on pixelborn, I wasn't losing much. Literally only 1/10 games or so. Ranked is online so I should be losing much more often now.

[@MrOrzeker]

WAY too much uninkable with not a lot of draw, doesn't seem great imo.

[@2pocketdeuces]

Yeah it trash

[@xXJacoby04]

Harca sure doesn't need a scrub like me defending the choices, but the deck curves out at 5, half them are 1 drops, and you want to play them all. Might not be amazing as removal settles into the meta since the characters are fragile, but the deck was made with a specific goal in mind. What you described doesn't hinder it.

[@bannibalharca]

Aggro decks can generally get away with less inkables. As for the draw, it's definitely light, but the deck is trying to win before the stage of the game where the opponent can stabilize and utilize their cards. In that sense it's just about getting to 20 lore and not cards.

[@MrOrzeker]

@@bannibalharca Sure but even for aggro 18 is insanity, almost 1/3 of the deck uninkable is certainly not viable. Especially without a bigger draw engine, even for an aggro deck they usually like to have a second wind possibility and it's impossible without draw. When only one card can destroy an entire deck there's something wrong imo, grab your sword.

[@bannibalharca]

I don't really know where you're getting your numbers. 16 is normal for many decks that need more ink than this. I say this as a competitive player that tends to stay on the more conservative side for ink. This deck can absolutely function at 18.@@MrOrzeker

[@UndeadxPenguins]

Holy crap, this list is garbage. Get rid of Pascal, both Kidas, Befuddle, Spellbook, the location, & Madam Mim Snake. Play Maleficent Sorceress, Friends on the Other Side, The Bear Necessities, & Cinderella Ballroom Sensation as 4 ofs & 2 of each Pua & Be Our Guest. The other cards I didn't mention in your list should all be 4 ofs. Congrats, I just helped you build the perfect Amber/Amethyst deck.
