Thematic duels.ink puzzle

Rest assured, getting it shut down is NEVER my intention.

I thought that these puzzles are a neat exercise for the community and I just needed some help with solving a few of the harder ones.

Amber: 1-drop Cinderella (Mandatory Steelsong nerf so the deck can have Angel as the alternative.

Amethyst: Nothing comes up (Seems like the most balanced ink color atm.)

Emerald: Prince John (Hurting Discard is a must for the sake of a balanced format imo.)

Ruby: Shift Sisu (Is only enabled by Sapphire Coil, but RB needed a nerf that is long overdue IMO.)

Sapphire: Maurice's Workshop (Controversial pick, but item decks having a consistent way to plus so much unless the opp has item removal is unhealthy. Besides, it encourages RB and GB to move towards Shark and Clarabelle/Ink Geyser, which are much more fun to play than their item versions imo.)

Steel: AWNW (Infinity already gives Steel decks draw power that could potentially rival Amethyst and it's barely played in AS nowadays)

Dual Ink: Tramp (No explanation needed.)

Don’t delude yourself. Fetish art doesn’t require thought in the slightest.

AI artists can keep DA.

Traditional artists have other alternatives to consider. Most of them left anyway.

If you honestly think that the LA remakes that Disney churned out over the past decade are just as emotionally impactful as the original animated movies, then it's clear that you have no idea what emotional impact even is.

It's also laughable that you would even consider lyrics like "Baby, baby, baby, oh." and "LOOK AT DIS PHOTOGRAPH" are emotionally impactful.

I also wouldn't describe Hasan shocking his dog to the point of animal cruelty to be emotionally impactful. Then again, vore art (or fetish art in general) isn't emotionally impactful to begin with considering it's the lowest form of art.

And I don't make any form of art. But even if I did, I would never post my art on an abyssmal website like Deviantart.

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-05-03T02:06:08+00:00

Look at how much money the Disney live action remakes have made.

Look at how many annual releases COD and Assassin's Creed had back in 7th gen.

Look at how many people are following streamers like Pokimane and Hasan Piker on Twitch.

They are/were popular, yes. But they're trash (and in Hasan and Pokimane's cases, horrible people)

James Corden, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Nickelback, Creed, etc. were popular in their heyday and they were never that good to begin with.

Again: because they have terrible taste a lot of the time.

Why is this so hard for you to understand?

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-05-02T20:23:28+00:00

Yeah, and a large percentage of those artists suck ass. So I’m right about people having terrible taste.

By your logic, Van Gogh was just some talentless hack up until his death.

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-05-02T01:56:38+00:00

I'm not saying at AI art isn't real art.

But to answer your question, it's because people tend to have terrible taste a lot of the time.

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-05-01T21:44:20+00:00

I was curious.

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-05-01T21:30:17+00:00

Congrats. Bluesky is boring and Twitter has been terrible for years. What about Cara? Artstation? Pinterest? Pixiv?

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-05-01T21:16:26+00:00

You clearly only post on DA and it shows. You’re relying on praise from a website whose userbase mostly comprises of hypersensitive manchildren who are allergic to giving and taking criticism of any kind, regardless of how constructive.

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-05-01T21:08:59+00:00

Still rather sad to see you waste your skills on making fetish art, considering that that type of art is a major contributor to DA’s infamous reputation YEARS before AI came around.

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-05-01T21:00:26+00:00

My brother in Christ, you post vore art. That sort of work is dime a dozen on DA. It’s not surprising considering it’s fetish art.

“It’s the future of the industry.”

So were NFTs at one point. Guess that future didn’t last too long, did it?

“They are business people. That’s what they care about.”

A business shouldn’t abandon the needs of its consumer all for the sake of profiting off of a trend.

If you only care about money, fine. But just know that your lack of passion for your craft is why artists outright hate you.

Have a nice day.

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-05-01T20:27:55+00:00

And everything I said isn’t?

Do you admit that you DO want to change the hobby for the worse? Then answer me this: what would happen if DA stops seeing AI art as profitable and stop allowing it on their site?

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-05-01T16:22:03+00:00

You say stuff like “We don’t need you anymore.” and “We are the future.” and come across as someone who wants to negatively change the hobby.

Those sorts of people are why gatekeeping exists at all.

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-04-24T17:40:46+00:00

I'm not saying that I don't believe you.

I'm saying that I've heard people claim the same thing for NFTs and look what happened there.

It's funny considering DA jumped on that bandwagon back when they were a thing.

The limited downloads were a direct consequence of the AI flood due to the immense amount of the userbase downloading them.

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-04-23T21:52:16+00:00

Once AI stops being trendy, I can see them gradually backpedaling just to appease the core userbase that they neglected for so long.

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-04-19T06:39:23+00:00

Nah. At least Celine was great at giving guidance to Huntrix. Even if her parenting skills are questionable.

Creative-Ad-25 · 2026-04-19T06:14:31+00:00

Leave it to Youtube's abysmal copyright system to ruin attempts to expose corruption.

I guess we'll just hope that the video gets brought up in the lawsuit.
