UNBEATABLE! POTENTIAL BDIF? | Amethyst Control Deck Profile Guide + Gameplay Lorcana

[@mrbigberd]

Swap one mirror and one shield for two cauldrons. The ability to set your next draw every single turn can't be overstated. It ensures you don't get flooded with uninkable cards in the early game. In the lategame, it makes sure you are putting down a big threat every single turn.

[@jabinmerchant5086]

On your first game, couldn’t you have won a turn earlier by questing with Jafar instead? 21:33

[@iamgabeable]

Missed lethal

[@phonetiic]

Completely missed this, in the "COMBOS" section, Shield is great with The Queen, allows for a free draw!

[@paceyourself4702]

It cost 3 to use the shield though, but it's still good synergy!

[@soup8786]

​@@paceyourself4702lefou does it far more efficiently. You can also cycle befuddle with him through the queen.

[@ThePhotogExperience]

What site are you playing on? I have looked for online gameplay and I can't find anything that looks as good as this!

[@bobdole4eva1]

I've been playing a different variant of Amethyst/Ruby and I honestly think you can't go without Ursula's Cauldron. That card plus Magic Mirror so such an oppressive draw engine

[@soup8786]

You have a full grip without them

[@boezou]

Magic Mirror is probably the definitive case for winning Late Game Mirror. It’s there any way to remove Magic Mirror?

[@phonetiic]

Steel has 2 cards, an action and Beast but other than that I think items stick once played

[@johnhensen9400]

Really glad to see people coming around on Magic Mirror!! If you really don’t like the expensive Ursula or you want more inkables, Anna is the easiest include in an Elsa deck! It’s another great control option! Lefou or Fan the Flames would also enhance your ability to abuse Elsa and the Queen - sooo good - while increasing ink count, too. Definitely my favorite color pairing! (Just wish the Sorcerer Mickey-Brooms was more playable!)

[@xJIN86x]

I am definitely stealing your tech. This is the deck I wanna play.

[@soup8786]

Cut the dr package for aladdin. He is much better at stabalising agsisnt aggro and he is a 3 drop to sing friends. At 12 3 drops you will alwsys be able to sing on 4 and play jagar or another 3 drop. Also lefou is incredible witb the queen, lets you draw 2, it cycles befuddle (you shoild also be playing befuddle for lilo decks) if you boucne lefou with the queen out. He stands up opponets bodyguards when needed, he restands aladdin on key turns. He is just so so powerful.

[@just_cordero_cavazos_3]

Got a list?

[@soup8786]

@just_cordero_cavazos_3 it has changed now as well Now I play 4x archimedes 2 gaston 4x lefou 2x magic mirror 3x Cauldron 1x shield 1x pocket watch 4x rafiki 2x baby elsa 4x baby aladdin 4x 3 drop maleficent 2x broom mickey 3x broom. 3x maui 4x queen 4x dragonfire 4x be prepared 4x big aladdin 3x elsa 1x ursula 3x mickey BLT 4x maleficent You play 66 cards, both for the mirror which goes to one of you decking a lot of the time, and also for the emerald steel mill deck.

[@123stealthace]

How do we get the client to play this

[@soresa1]

Fun deck. I actually went against this with a blue/steel deck and one thing to watch out for is if you draw too much you can potentially get stalled out enough for them to mill you.

[@phonetiic]

Yeah, the problem with so much card draw is that you can end up decking yourself out. Super important to keep an eye on in the late game and also important to play around “Whole New World” so you don’t discard a load of important cards!

[@Purpleeest]

@@phonetiic you can add in brooms to help alleviate this problem

[@FlyAwayTooHighToday]

maui in my eyes is a situational better dragonfire. great synergy with elsa. not sure about ursula, i think shes really bad in 1v1.

[@dicehands]

I like this deck a lot but am finding that I often get stuck with a hand of uninkables. Not sure if its bad luck or if the ratio is leaning too heavy into uninkables

[@mrbigberd]

Reduce the shields and mirrors for some cauldrons. They really smooth out your draws and make sure you find inkable stuff in the early game and threats in the late game (this is even more important than card advantage in the mirror in my experience).

[@Purpleeest]

You only need 2 be prepared

[@mrbigberd]

@@Purpleeest you need all the removal you can get for the mirror match

[@Purpleeest]

@@mrbigberd on the contrary, you'd be better off sticking in brooms and cycling your cards cause the mirror match is more likely to go to a 'deck out' scenario

[@Purpleeest]

@@mrbigberd if you big brain it, you just play only 2 characters at any one time, in anticipation of be prepared

[@555keyblademaster]

How are you playing?

[@phonetiic]

I’m using Pixelborn, it’s an unofficial simulator but it works great and allows you to use any cards you want and it’s free! Highly recommend

[@Gabeduhbabe_]

Since you can now update links can you post deck list link

[@Poorcana]

Where can you play Lorcana online?!

[@phonetiic]

The app is called Pixelborn! Give it a search, it’s really well made

[@gabeduhbabe_4280]

Why aren’t we playing 3 drop Aladdin?

[@phonetiic]

This is a super early version of the deck when it was first hyped up. I plan on revisiting this once I’m certain on a more optimised 60!

[@gabeduhbabe_4280]

@@phonetiic I’d love to theory craft with you as I’m really enjoying the game and have a lot of ideas surrounding this deck and what it’s best to run with in it!

[@WALABOOSH]

Keep hyping this deck up. I've been stomping this list and the blue red list. They're all over and even easy wins.

[@phonetiic]

Are you playing aggro? I do feel like both of those decks struggle against it

[@WALABOOSH]

@@phonetiic blue steel wheel. Every blue steel ive seen other than mine is bad tho so I understand the confusion. We have cracked the code though.

[@chefref5027]

Can I see your deck list? I am playing blue/steel and am struggling against ruby/am control. Any tips would be appreciated
