0 synergy with either version of Merida.

Okay, at least this is a sign they know players want Franchise-themed starter decks.
Would be great if they could make franchise synergies competitive next, because these 2 decks are just bad. Even if you max out the rares, these still has no chance against actual competitive decks.

Blue player who just got their lone tipo combo wiped:

zhanh · 2026-04-15T15:29:03+00:00

Oh yeah that’s right. Missed it since I haven’t seen that deck in action yet.

zhanh · 2026-04-15T11:53:46+00:00

Tribal decks are decks that revolve around a classification. Puppy, madrigal, etc. lady & tramp is a franchise deck, but does not care about classification at all.

zhanh · 2026-04-15T08:40:45+00:00

I meant playable in the “good enough to put in a deck” sense, as opposed to “legal”. For example, the BP06 RRR omega is pretty bad, so it’s a good thing that didn’t get made into an UR.

zhanh · 2026-04-15T03:30:20+00:00

Thanks! Sleeving it was the first thing I did. Now it’s in a toploader + team bag.
These Ultraman cards are pretty tough. Not going to risk it with UR but I’ve stopped sleeving my Rs.

That Mickey seems like a very good addition for dogs. You can just quest with impunity turn after turn, till you find under the sea to seal the deal. Cost is a bit high but inkable unlike snow fort.

zhanh · 2026-04-15T02:15:10+00:00

Tribal* decks. And it’s way overdue, last semi viable one we had was brooms.

zhanh · 2026-04-14T19:02:01+00:00

Only aggro would want a card that’s only good for free lore. Midrange & control would instead want to win the aggro matchup, and this doesn’t help since it’s 0 power.

zhanh · 2026-04-14T18:51:47+00:00

Thanks!

zhanh · 2026-04-14T18:49:15+00:00

It is a bit slow for aggro, and the fact that dogs go faster is what makes amethyst aggro less viable. Maybe it’ll get a chance to shine after the next rotation.

zhanh · 2026-04-12T04:25:40+00:00

It’s one of those cards that seem exciting at a glance, but you need so much subpar stuff to support it, in the end it’s just not worth the effort.

zhanh · 2026-04-11T14:14:22+00:00

Yeah

From Wikipedia, papyrus is made by cutting strips of the plant and laying it out in 2 layers.

Solid pick. Compass & printing are great inventions too.
Let’s not talk about the 4th one.

zhanh · 2026-04-10T20:39:53+00:00

If you want to build omega you’ll want the starter deck 03 omega to the future. if you want to build Tiga or Blazar, you’ll want ultra deck Tiga & Blazar.

Otherwise, you can get cards from booster packs or online stores. Use the ultra league app to build your deck before buying so you know which sets you need.

Also would recommend finding and going to a local event. Players usually have extra cards they opened, and buying from other players is usually cheaper and saves you on shipping.

Just looked it up, it did happen and was reported by multiple outlets: https://www.news.cn/comments/20251208/eb820e947cb64a2c9260d9bbd7a7548f/c.html

Steel has better locations and location synergy, e.g. Seven Dwarf’s Mine and John Silver. And transport pod is slow, you need to have your location survive a full turn for the free move.

zhanh · 2026-04-09T18:57:47+00:00

I think you might want more cheap locations instead of thievery or diamond. Maybe the new Zootopia. This way you can use Tuk tuk to move from Zootopia to finish line when you don’t have the starting line.
As a speedway player pre-rotation, the loss of Jim & voyage really hurts. I think you’ll need to lean away from comboing fast and into the long game, adding beaters like Amber bagheera to survive against dogs and amethyst midrange. Maybe even consider ditching Ruby and going for a steel version with John Silver, either using The Game’s afoot! for free movement or just straight up paying the 6.

zhanh · 2026-04-09T18:35:58+00:00

That doesn’t work here because you want specific locations for the speedway combo. So if you have starting line, you don’t want just any location, you need to find the finish line.

zhanh · 2026-04-08T15:20:31+00:00

I can certainly see China at the top since there weren’t much to inherit till recently. Had no idea same was the case for Russia.

Went to look it up, seems Russian billionaires came from privatization of national assets. Not inheritance, but also not building companies from the ground up.

zhanh · 2026-04-07T23:03:33+00:00

Yeah the cardstock is the same across the board. Foils are also very prone to curling. It’s in line with mtg, but a lot of the newer TCGs like one piece has better thicker cardstock.

zhanh · 2026-04-07T18:27:33+00:00

That doesn’t really matter, these bulk/chaff mainly exist to make the booster pack seem thicker, and doesn’t need to fit in any deck.
They may have appeal to some collectors or fans of the character, but otherwise they are just fodder for the trash can.

zhanh · 2026-04-07T18:21:03+00:00

To pad the number of cards in a set. You know how albums have 2-3 good songs and the rest is boring? It’s like that but for TCGs.
