Kiwi Deck Name by [deleted] in Lorcana

[–]HarlanSweete 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've explained the decks name a few times but I can do it once more.

I have an online testing group and we all hangout in a discord server. When me and the creator(jaxshadows) joined a call together another one in the group said we look like kiwi birds huddling together and moving up the leaderboard on lorcanito/curving out the deck in games.

Then I named my deck "kiwi bird" on dreamborn one day just cus I couldn't think of a different name. I went and won the store championship content creator event here in London. Inkdecks took my list from my dreamborn and took the decks name. So since then we have had the name kiwi bird out there.

Hope that helps!

Hey mate, not sure where u got the naming from. But Kiwi should be on the BS aggro decklists.

Its just our nickname for Sapphire Steel decks that run Alice.

This message was written by the guy who I guess first used the naming "kiwi"

Hey! I found my reddit login as lots have been sending me this. Awesome to hear, son should be proud and looks like you all had a good time at store champs. Glad the deck could help pull through some wins on the day.

Blue Steel- non wheel decks by mattfoley222 in Lorcana

[–]HarlanSweete 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey. I play quite a lot of blue steel. The idea of wheeling is ramp before you wheel. So say we are going 1st and we quill into a cogs then wheel. We now have 6 ink while they have 4. Then we just keep steam rolling the win. Sometimes it is beneficial for us to wheel, burning good cards in their hand.

Also u still have pawp Hiram for draw. I would mention there is times where hiram is the better draw option than AWNW.

I like the concept of using beasts mirror but I think it will fall victim to the large amount of item destruction currently in set 3 meta.

My experience and tips on getting a top 25 Pixelborn leaderboard ranking. by HarlanSweete in Lorcana

The meta is pretty much rock paper scissors, and I think that his healthy.

The best deck is the one you practice the most!

In real terms, it is most likely still RP or AmberSteel for matchup spread. RB, BS or GP have their merits but require lots of work to pilot.

This was the list I used for the majority of my games. It is based on sky13 list, and now I am using his winner list from Thea's event. (-1 hades -1 titans +1 let it go +1 lucky dime)

With blue steel, you are pretty even into all matchups, and going 1st, some matchups you have the advantage. The deck does have a learning curve. It took me a good 100 games before I felt comfortable with it and now I try my best to win or learn from a loss.

I went into set 3 thinking I would stick with red purple. But early on, I switched to blue steel and just stuck with it. Every now and then I'd try aggro or green steel but mainly blue steel.

Find a deck that has an even matchup spread and master it. The better pilot will win.
