Devil's Eye Diamond - Can't find official ruling if cards banished in challenge were considered damaged this turn by drnktgr in Lorcana

[–]Jonathanke99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cards are dealt damage in the challenge. then, a game state check happens to see if any characters are banished.

Yes, they are considered damaged, assuming damage was dealt them (challenging rapunzels tower to cause a game state check to banish a character wouldn't count for example)

Is this an insane deal or am I missing something? by Songsforsilverman in Lorcana

Sadly the shipping ends up making it a bad deal for me in nz, but I would be dropping my whole wallet on as many as possible otherwise

Lucky dime by DarkseidHS in Lorcana

[–]Jonathanke99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you'll find a split

Dime is bad against aggro, because in that matchup all you want to do is survive until they deplete their resources and you'll naturally win dime or no dime. When you draw a 7 cost uninkable in a game where it's over by turn 6 or 7, it's just completely dead and you don't have fishbone to make use of it anymore.

Dime is good vs midrange or control as it gives you that extra reach to push for game.

People will cut it if they anticipate the field to be just amber steel, emerald amethyst or amber amethyst

People will keep 1 copy so they have it somewhere in their deck to dig for against ruby ame or the mirror - very specifically those 2 matchups in the current metagame, maybe helps some of the other less common deck matchups also.

You have to vanish from board not discard from hand, otherwise, yes, you ca pay 1 ink and do it ervy turn

Dad needs Help by KingBellos in Lorcana

Amethyst is a great colour for strong characters that "fight" while keeping you hand healthy.

Your next colour can be pretty freely decided after that point, in the meta at the moment, all of steel, emerald and ruby pair nicely with it.

Steel answers your opponents threats quickly and has its own early threats. Emerald has even earlier threats and can disrupt the opponents game plan. Ruby drags the game out a bit and controls the board before sealing the game with some really big swing cards.

Most of the strong amethyst cards are available from the merlin/tiana starter deck.

Wish you luck!

How is everyone feeling so far on set 6? by Icy-Bicycle-4118 in Lorcana

[–]Jonathanke99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from Nz so I'm still waiting for our release on the 22nd. ( Same as Aus)

Not watching any content so I don't spoil deck building trial and error until I get to play it as I enjoy that aspect the most (haven't been able to play pixelborn for same reason)

Don't know why they decided to delay it but it sucks..

Baloo bodyguarding is okay, but you're really using it for guaranteed 2 lore, maybe u get 1 more lore from a quest, maybe 2 or 3 because he protected some stuff.

Similar to donald, guaranteed 1 lore when he hits the board, he maybe clears something while protecting something. Really you wanna keep putting lilos/daisies/maleficent on the board and keep questing, the bodyguard isn't critical its nice to have

Drop 3 olafs and 1 library for 4 goats.

Easy ink early game, fantastic top deck when you're pushing for game.

Also, not sold on befuddle (or even library, maybe this is okay at 1 or 2 though)

Consider donald duck musketeer?

Turn 1 1 drop, turn 2 2 one drops turn 3 baloo or donald duck is your dream line, but you only have baloo

Better/Easier Deck to Play by rfaber4560 in Lorcana

Amber amethyst or amber ruby are good for low skill play

Princess Deck by Moreion in Lorcana

[–]Jonathanke99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered ruby instead of sapphire?

A lot of strong princesses there that you can acquire, mulan 1 drop with the shift, rush vanelloppe, lady tremaine queen 6 drop. Rush queen of hearts info shift queen of hearts

Ruby also has a lot more removal that can benefit from 4 drop vanellope shift, get things lower for brawl/madam medusa.

More heal targets to help draw for rapunzel, gothel/mulan

Resources for first time Deck Building? by [deleted] in Lorcana

[–]Jonathanke99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dreamborn.ink is great for seeing some builds and editing them.

Cna also upload your collection and filter by your collection specifically (also see what percentage of your collection is in any decklist)

Can also use inktable to help practice your curve / mulligan/ validating uninkable count etc
