The IMPOSSIBLE matchup! Ruby Amethyst vs Emerald Steel Lorcana League Live 6.24.24 Rd1

Holy cow this is bad.
Also incorrect info in the title card, this is Season 4 Week 6. And game starts at 1:12
Decklist: dreamborn.ink/...

Missplay Turn 4 flynn couldnt challenge 1 drop robinhood. As floodborn pegasus gave all the opponents characters evasive for the turn. But love the vids keep up the great work

[@SnapquesterMage]

I don't know if it would have made a difference in the overall game, but good catch!

[@maxmrmagical]

@@SnapquesterMagenot your fault really, your opponent should know what his cards do. The fact that he didn’t quest with both Robinhood and Bucky told me he didn’t know they fain evasive after shifting into big Pegasus.

[@stephonjames1038]

Omg! Was hoping to see a video RA beating Bucky discard but it turned out to be most of my same experiences against Bucky discard!

[@eddehobi]

That video actually helped me a lot with piloting this deck. Played my first league last night, chose this deck and had a hard time with decisionmaking on what to keep and what to ink/mull. Retrospectively, I made a lot of bad decisions :D

[@luffythetuffy]

At first Thx for your content! Second, this matchup is everything else than impossible, i think your just not used to play RubyAmethyst. As an all time RA player i can tell you, you had some big missplays in the beginning, which let the game went how it went. In the beginning you should have played 2. chernabogs followers instead of flynn, when he actually doesnt trigger anyway. You would have drawn one card more and you didnt had to discard friends. Than you played Castle even, if he had enough bodys to banish it instead of bouncing Rabbit with fox, to get Another card. In this Matchup, early and Mid its all about drawing all of your Control Cards. Of course not easy when Diablo played 2. and they have curve but surely not impossible. I play a lot in my LGS and never lost 0:2 against ES. Im not hating, but this is definetly not impossible. Greetings from Germany

[@SnapquesterMage]

Castle was a desperation move, because if he's challenging in, he's NOT questing. But still, it is felt like there were no good choices after turn 2 anyway.

[@janamb88]

​@SnapquesterMage I'm gonna agree with luffy, don't play Flynn, don't play castle, I know it sucks but unless you're playing a card that draws, just ink til 7

[@misterchip1984]

he missed his trigger a lot so you didn’t even face the true power of the fun squirrel!

[@OceansTempest]

If you used the castle as ink and bounced the rabbit with fox, you would have gotten 2 more cards and could have traded the next turn

[@Safyris]

Any advice for a Ruby Sapphire going against Ruby Amethyst? My locals is filled with Ruby Amethyst and I'm just getting cooked. Championship is this weekend so not sure if I can change decks in time so wondering if a playstyle goal/deck tech could help. They always seems to be able to turn 1: Chernabog followers or Broom Turn 2: Flynn Turn 3: Sisu Which is all just super rough feeling. Thanks in advance :)

[@OceansTempest]

Also play sisu to hopefully slow theirs down. Other than that, hyper ramp and start medusa/brawling

Hi what is you setup for filming 🙃 ?

[@beardedcat9744]

I honestly don’t understand if or even how people have fun playing green steel. It literally is just you playing solitaire. I cab bet you a majority of people who play GS are Yugioh players. 😂

[@SnapquesterMage]

Opponent is a friend in a local group. We all agree GS is miserable. I personally played it the last 3 weeks to good success and was seeing something different this time. We don't like it, but it wins. And we want Ursulas from Set Championships. Then probably putting it away.

[@ChrisMiller-bf8gs]

I have a tournament to attend this Saturday and this is the only match up that's unbearable when being on R/A. To the point where im thinking of adding to 3 drop peter pan but nervous it's gonna possible brick my deck up. Hate teaching for one match up but feel like it's necessary.

[@NightromGaming]

Just had a locals where there was 4 GS while playing RA, feels bad man.

[@SnapquesterMage]

OOOF!

[@Vortex-ns5ij]

While this whole meta triangle is unpleasant. I dont feel bad for the ruby amethyst or any of the 3 meta triangle decks. Playing cards like flynn, medusa, and all that removal/damage/boardwipe. Yeah no i just dont feel bad for yall. Those decks need get thrashed and trashed by anti meta decks. For sure.

[@sl-lin0bi529]

Since when is having 4 1 cost a good turn for AR???

[@SnapquesterMage]

@@sl-lin0bi529 Literally the same list that won the 10k last weekend, except -1 BP, -1 Medusa, for +2 Pan's Shadow. The swap was bad anyway, but wow do I fundamentally not like this list either.

[@2pocketdeucess]

You should have Maui’d into Bucky. That would have allowed you to hold on to be prepared

[@SnapquesterMage]

That was the discussion we had with another friend who was watching afterwards. If you have the opportunity, Bucky should always be the target.

[@SinBear03]

as a ruby amethyst player i feel ur pain lol nice try tho 😁

[@TheOneThatMoos]

Am I the only one who hates when people say "Chernabog" instead of the full name?

[@SnapquesterMage]

@@TheOneThatMoos I know Brad Carpenter is DEFINITELY not a fan! Apologies! 😅

[@gamingwith_matt]

green steel is the most played deck rn, why play into that? I just hate that deck so much so I have to play a deck that beats it lol

[@SnapquesterMage]

I played GS last several League nights, and probably playing it for set champs. Just trying something different, and this was my round 1 opponent!

[@gamingwith_matt]

@@SnapquesterMage for sure! right now my fav decks are red blue and purple steel, both very fun and good decks against green steel

[@SnapquesterMage]

@@gamingwith_matt RA actually seems fine. Good even. IF you can just dodge GS. But I think with that matchup being SO BAD, I couldn't reasonably bring it to any tournament over GS or RB.

[@gamingwith_matt]

@@SnapquesterMage it's a good deck but steel removal can mess up the flynn plan, and discard is just BRUTAL. The matchup into Red Blue is nice, but I wouldn't trade that for losing to green steel. Maybe those who play RA will just run hot and only play against red blue lol

[@jonleedisney]

Both forgot the evasive shift line on Pegasus 😉

[@onetyme0]

those poor cards getting abused
