I built 4 decks of varying quality and took them to the league night with the fam. Pretty fun, but wasn't really able to make a deck around the theme my daughter would have liked with what we had from some boosters and starters. What's a good "Aladdin" deck on a reasonable budget?

Pretty similar to what I mentioned above for Peter Pan but you’d put in Aladdin Heroic Outlaw in place of Peter Pan’s shadow. Aladdin plays in an aggressive control deck well. Red/Purple control is very cheap to build unless you want Maleficent, Monstrous Dragon in it. The second most expensive card is Be Prepared at $5-$7 each. You could buy a whole deck list for about $50 without maleficent. If you wanted even more Aladdin characters you could go Ruby/Sapphire to bring in Jasmines.

It’s red for Aladdin and Abu. Green has Iago and Genie three times (none of them see competitive play and the rares are under a dollar on tcgplayer.) This is what I’d start as your core 40 and then fill in whatever else.  For actual competitive, the red Aladdin sometimes sees play as late game answers in purple/red aggro.

So this is what I put together so far as a form of Ruby/Sapphire Rush Deck. Mainly just messing with the cards I have so far. I haven't found a place to play yet and dont really care about competitive play yet. https://dreamborn.ink/decks/RRuOTtdMaa9gCa839l7X

Been continuing to enjoy the game with my kid. We’re about fifteen games in and have progressed in to deck building. We took starters for the colors they wanted to play and opened ten boosters and then built around that pool. Kid was interested in evasive creatures because they just want to quest and avoid challenges so we zeroed in on ruby amethyst. We started by packing deck with as many evasive creatures as we could muster and then supplementing with some staples from the starters. Since that left some discarded halves from the starter decks I built emerald amethyst around the remainders. With the emerald amethyst I try to quest while shutting down opponents creatures with a combination of challenge supplemented with tricks + recursion and some other no-questing/deactivating tricks. The games have been at a similar power level and enjoyable. Kid was thrilled to get their foil Mickey brave little tailor onto the board and close a game with it.

More Inkland spoilers A fairly meh card, but I suppose Eeyore has his fans  An inkable 3 cost song that cantrips? I think this has a home in steelsong fairly easily.  If lemon lime discard gets good, I think this will have a place.  Being uninkable really hurts this card, but 3 damage with an option to quest is not bad at 2.

That Ursula is gonna be a big shock to the meta. I can see Amber aggro getting paired with Emerald to be a formidable deck.

More spoilers Some synergy with Ursula’s Cauldron E: Aparently the “name” of a card doesn’t include its sub name. So “Madam Mim” covers all 4 of her variants, not just Fox or Snake.  Meh  This has been out there, and is probably official? If true absolutely meta defining. E: the hat was in this larger set of leaks, leading credence to it overall https://lorcana.gg/set-3-leaks/ Ulta fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Jan 11, 2024 |

Apologies for the double post but it’s a big spoiler day. First official legendary  A generic 4/4/2 for 5 would be ok. Ability to get a location and move to it for free make this card very efficient. Cheatable as well.

CapnAndy posted:Why do I want characters to be at locations? I still don't understand that. Some characters will have effects if they're at locations; the Emerald Stitch that comes in the Gift Set has Evasive normally, and gains Ward if he's at a location, so he can only be mass removed, not challenged or targeted with an action. We've seen a very low number of characters so far that'll have location effects, but I imagine they'll do things like increase the passive lore a location generates, or maybe a global buff to your other characters.

It seems like we’ve seen at least two characters who’s only relation to locations is that they get to move to them for free sometimes. So there must be locations with effects that benefit you for having characters there. Or perhaps some base rule about locations that they haven’t told us yet.

Related unrelated, but locations should change the meta because they generate lore but are immune to the current sweepers (Grab your Swords, Be Prepared) and single target removal which are currently meta defining. They can be challenged without having to be exerted, so this hopefully will make challenging more valuable.

Spoilers are coming pretty quick today, but we have the first location that answers the question. “Why do I want a character at a location. Spoilers are starting to come in at a regular clip  For 2 this isn’t bad. Plus you get a lore at the beginning of every turn. 5 toughness will be hard to kill early. Paying 1 for characters to have resist 1 seems relevant (Cogsworth saw some limited play). Edit: you don’t get a lore each turn. I’m dumb  Moana might be good if challenging becomes more valuable. Also revealed today was the relentless rats in the form of Dalmatian puppies (limited to 99 per deck though) and Pongo.       Obviously the puppies are cute gimmick for 101 Dalmatian fans. I think a deck with 99 of them will not win a lot but what is the Timmy Johnny Spike of Lorcana? Heuy Dewy Louey? Pongo seems good.  Scrooge seems ok. The three power makes it hard for his other power to trigger. Ulta fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Jan 13, 2024 |

4 Pongo and 56 pups might be fun to try, the Pongos would mean that you're drawing up to 5 cards a turn (wait, can each one be used once or is it a flat once per turn?) and you'd be guaranteed an ink drop. And who cards if a pup or 10 die in a challenge, you have more!

Some news on the realesse dates on the new sets So new sets at a healthy three month clip   Interesting on the continuing theme of helping each other. More interesting is 5 power is the highest for a three drop so far. 5 power kills a lot of highly relevant cards (Maleficent, gray Beast, Cinderella, Maui). Green is looking strong in this set

For you Stitch fans out there, supposedly the only way to get this card and playmat Is to take part in a tournament FLGS are supposed to have on April 4th. Top 4 get cards, top 2 get playmates. It’s cool looking so if you want it I would get to practicing (or have several hundred in disposable income)

  Looks like most colors will get a vanilla1 drop location  Vanilla location. Seems fine. Fang seems actually interesting. Also giving evasive means you can challenge other evasive, so it’s not purely defensive. 2 lore a turn for 4 doesn’t suck either  Seems like a very good ramp effect  Powerful digging for cheap E: apparently this is the 2nd (first being launch) Lorcana ip card. It’s an item that belongs to one of the illumineers aka planeswalkers  The best Ducktales shows up with the Nephews. Probably too awkward a combo for competitive, but seems fun for casual.

Forgive me, it's been a bit since I read the rules. There's no uniqueness in this game, right? That is, you can have whatever number of the same name character or item card in play as you wish or can have in a deck.

What happened with Flutesong? It was an archetype that won big in a tournament, had great success against Amethyst/Ruby control, and then a month later no one's talking about it despite A/R still being an overwhelmingly dominant archetype in the meta.

Generally it has a bad matchup against r/a and it’s very dependent on drawing a whole new world at the right time. piloting it correctly is also hard (compared to the other meta relevant decks). Whole new world gives you a hand but same for your opponent, who wants to go wide generally. Grab your swords is no be prepared since most decks run 3 willpower creatures. People tried the Mufasa variant (which didn’t do that well) and are now on the steel beast one (which is actually really good).

Pile of spoilers Steel Simba. Probably will be good  I believe translates into +3 when at a location. Draw a card when they attack.  Give a character +3 when attacking a location  Evasive  When you play a Maleifcent, look at top card put it on top or bottom      This could actually make villains good.          Singer 4

Tiana's Palace seems massively busted. It's basically an 8 HP bodyguard for 3 ink, with passive lore generation on top of that.

So spoilers are coming fast and furious now with the flgs release about a week away. Locations will be important but it also looks like there’s a sub theme of caring about items. Also someone wanted when people say “you should play green Ursula” you would say “which?” E: other one

The new recuring song Ursula seems like she would be hilarious with the new purple Jafar that gives you lore whenever you draw a card while he's exerted. Suddenly singing "Friends on the other side" becomes "Draw 4, gain 4 lore".
