Week 1 Meta! Here Are Our Playtesting Results | ArtaCast #3

[@christopherxgordon]

As a new green purple player, I would love a deep breakdown of the deck strategies and play lines. Even just hearing him talk about how valuable kit was on the play versus crab on the draw was very insightful to me. I need that kind of commentary!

Sehr guter Content und mit einer meiner Lieblings Contents❤

Interesting how much different my GP list is compared to y'alls. Love it!

[@Cymru2k2]

Yas, new vid, can't wait to sit and watch this, and see how close my changes to my GP are to what the masters have cooked up

[@GutInst1nct]

I keep wanting a Green/Purple Bounce to work and now with Maleficent's staff to combo with Em Chromicon, I think it's very powerful. Helps to shift tempo back on long games when you can't get out more than one character. Also great if you wanna try adding in reckless to force enemies into yours so you gain lore. The new Jasmine in tandem with Big Milo and all the bounce songs make it a menace. Only thing was that it usually felt good having 2 Staffs and 1 Chromicon on board which can be tough

[@sstrudeau]

Wondering if there is room for Fred in the aggro lists... seems really good; sometimes even better than merfolk

[@Artabax]

there are so many different reasonable one drops. Its really hard to figure out which is the best. All have their up and downsides

[@passivehercules]

Only time I’ve found bend to my will affective was in blue green. Being able to ramp to 7 then play it was great and in the cases where they emptied most of their hand on the board having the ice blocks and under the sea to dodge them replacing their cards with destruction felt amazing. Definitely seemed pretty good in testing

[@Andy-bq4vd]

yes, another episode!

[@parttimecomix]

I’m super high on genie so glad he’s looking good 👍 💜

Yeeeeaaah getting my coffee ☕️

29:28 for oswald. Play 3 drop hiro on 3 then turn 4 use hiros ability for 2 look for dime put it on top then play oswald to garantee a dime flip

[@ThespianGamr]

I love that the combo exists, but because Dime doesn't help you with board control it is just a bit slow. Even if you ramp on 2, Hiro on 3, so you can play Oswald and immediately find Dime on 4 to remove the weakness to storm/ftc on Oswals

[@rorobear1940]

I think you’re better off flipping into something like Steel Chromicon that can at least help you control the board. Because that’s a very low tempo line, which can be fine against some decks

[@TheBoss0534]

How do you feel about the Prince Phillip 3 drop that has ward? I have really enjoyed it but can see why to cut it.

[@Artabax]

@@TheBoss0534 hes reasonable ofc. Didnt find place yet but wanna test him soon

[@SummerAustria]

Links for the decks would be very welcome

[@samslown9431]

What are your thoughts on pluto vs chien po, do you think the increase in ink cost makes them fill that different of a role?

[@Artabax]

@@samslown9431 yeah its not easy to compare them. For really aggressive strategies the one less ink cost really matters, while for BS for example chien po is the better choice. It depends on the deck i would say

[@samslown9431]

⁠@@Artabaxthanks for the reply! Love the content you put out, sharing the knowledge is amazing, keep being awesome

[@LorcanaHoodRat]

Hyyype!!

[@ilyaleue1250]

I love these video's!!! keep it up please! :)) Do you think clarabelle won't be in emerald amethyst anymore? I really like the card, what is the best deck to play her in?

[@Artabax]

i think its still totally reasonable to play her in GP. Just hard to find spots for her as we lean to be more aggressive for now with a much lower to the ground curve. The best Deck to play her right now is probably Saphire/Emerald, where your ramp up to her to play her and get your cards back. Thanks for your kind words :)

[@ilyaleue1250]

@@Artabax do you have a decklist or tips for GP in set 6 to have a better matchup against BS? Or will we still be doomed?

[@Artabax]

@@ilyaleue1250 it got a lot better i think. Genie puts in a lot of work against them. Its often very close games in my testing

[@ilyaleue1250]

@@Artabax true, genie seems strong, but I think we are still to weak against grab your swords without clarabelle, no?

[@Artabax]

@@ilyaleue1250 sometimes yes, but we have still urs 2 to try to grab it. I dont say its a good MU but its a lot easier now

[@KrisPBaconnn]

19:57 Steel Song decks will easily trade into Calhoun with Lawrence, then heal on turn 4 to draw 3.

[@Artabax]

its certainly wrong to quest with calhoun in that situation and expose her, so thats no real downside for me

[@Niggscantswim69]

You can get away with playing 2 gogo

[@briantorres2157]

Why play genie over Dolores Madrigal if you are not playing shift genie ?

[@Artabax]

multiple reasons to be honest. I think the card is just strictly better, but the most important thing is probably that hes evasive. Also his draw is unconditional, what can also be important. But Evasive is the most important thing

[@sstrudeau]

@@Artabax Also, 4 willpower is huge against steel.
