1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,300 Hello and welcome back to Illumination, the Disney Lurkana podcast. 2 00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:14,300 My name is Max. 3 00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:15,300 And I'm Sam. 4 00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:20,740 And we are here today, episode 22 of the podcast talking about Azure 8c. 5 00:00:20,740 --> 00:00:22,020 I mean, what else are we going to be talking about? 6 00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:23,020 Come on. 7 00:00:23,020 --> 00:00:25,020 We're talking not about specific cards. 8 00:00:25,020 --> 00:00:26,020 We're going to do our set review. 9 00:00:26,020 -->

And we do put this up as an audio podcast. 21 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,800 It is a ton of fun. 22 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:02,920 I recommend you check it out. 23 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,880 We have a blast doing the set reviews. 24 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,020 And again, it will come up probably middle of the week as a bonus episode as well. 25 00:01:09,020 --> 00:01:14,080 So we're talking biggest improvements for existing cards from Azure 8c cards. 26 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,640 So we will be talking about Azure 8c cards, but we will be talking about them through 27 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,540 the lens of how they're impacting the current cards that we have access to. 28 00:01:23,540 --> 00:01:27,340 So the focus will be much more on existing cards you are familiar with and a little bit 29 00:01:27,340 --> 00:01:30,280 more withdrawn on the cards from Azure 8c. 30 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,200 Of course, they're going to heavily impact the conversation. 31 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,280 So we'll be going over them. 32 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,080 I want to give a brief disclaimer before we jump into it though. 33 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,320 We're not going to make vague comments. 34 00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:40,880 We're going to try to stay away from that. 35 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,880 We wanted to give you some specific examples of cards we think are big winners from Azure 36 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,880 8c. 37 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,240 We didn't want to talk about just kind of general cards. 38 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,860 We know if a card says discard on it, there's a chance Prince John might get better. 39 00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:55,020 We know that if more locations come out, Jim Hawkins might get better. 40 00:01:55,020 --> 00:01:58,560 We are fully aware of all of those kinds of things. 41 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,040 We wanted to keep it to more than that. 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,780 So that way you're not shouting at the podcast angrily. 43 00:02:02,780 --> 00:02:05,340 So there's your rationale if it falls into that category. 44 00:02:05,340 --> 00:02:06,860 We might miss something, of course. 45 00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:11,980 So the first card we want to talk about from Azure 8c that's going to have an impact on 46 00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:13,520 some cards is Oswald. 47 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,820 Sam, do you want to tell us about Oswald? 48 00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:21,120 And we'll talk about then the cards that Oswald will make an impact on. 49 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,120 Sure. 50 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,340 Oswald is a Sapphire legendary card. 51 00:02:25,340 --> 00:02:28,180 It is a 212 for two uninkable. 52 00:02:28,180 --> 00:02:31,700 And during your turn, whenever a card is put into your inkwell, you may reveal the top 53 00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:32,700 card of your deck. 54 00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:36,620 If it's an item card, you may play that item for free and it enters play exerted. 55 00:02:36,620 --> 00:02:38,240 Otherwise you put it on the bottom of your deck. 56 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,700 So we know this is already going to pair well with some cards, right? 57 00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:43,940 Like the first card probably you're thinking of at home and Sam's making eyebrows at me 58 00:02:43,940 --> 00:02:44,940 to say is? 59 00:02:44,940 --> 00:02:45,940 Lucky dime. 60 00:02:45,940 --> 00:02:46,980 Lucky dime is going to be a big one. 61 00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:48,300 I don't think that's much of a winner. 62 00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:49,300 That card's already insane. 63 00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:50,940 I don't think it really won too much. 64 00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:56,140 I think Oswald is going to benefit other cards and this is shout out to Hyper Hippo Time 65 00:02:56,140 --> 00:03:00,100 because he also kind of put these cards on the radar for the podcast. 66 00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:01,820 I agree with what he said here. 67 00:03:01,820 --> 00:03:06,300 Shield of Virtue, be able to re-ready things if we hit them. 68 00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:12,640 Poisoned Apple and Sword of Truth, all really good hits for this particular card. 69 00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,340 Sword of Truth lets you banish a hero character. 70 00:03:15,340 --> 00:03:17,460 Poisoned Apple lets you banish a princess character. 71 00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:22,500 These are first chapter items that kind of nobody's been playing but get better because 72 00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:27,780 you have to run a heavy density of items in order for Oswald to really be effective. 73 00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:31,560 I don't know as though we're going to see it slotted into the quote unquote standard 74 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,900 style Ruby Sapphire decks. 75 00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:37,420 I think we're going to see a new version, something closer to what Moiam was playing 76 00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:40,940 towards the middle of this particular set which is much more interested in things like 77 00:03:40,940 --> 00:03:43,740 the legendary blue queen diviner, things like that. 78 00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:48,020 But I think that these cards get a pretty nice little boost from Oswald. 79 00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:50,580 Sam, do you have anything to add to that? 80 00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:54,180 What's the card that you can exert it to give a character plus one lore? 81 00:03:54,180 --> 00:03:55,180 I have the Fates. 82 00:03:55,180 --> 00:03:58,500 Yes, I think that card will be really good with Oswald as well. 83 00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:00,460 I think a lot of items are going to get improvement. 84 00:04:00,460 --> 00:04:02,740 I do think a streamlined strategy is a good idea. 85 00:04:02,740 --> 00:04:06,780 So a lot of call outs from Oswald, a lot of big winners of fringy cards that maybe we 86 00:04:06,780 --> 00:04:10,780 saw play for a minute or in certain lists saw play or ones that you've kind of just 87 00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:12,180 had in the back of your mind. 88 00:04:12,180 --> 00:04:15,580 I think Oswald helps a lot of those items become very playable. 89 00:04:15,580 --> 00:04:20,100 Next card I want to talk about is Robin Hood Sharpshooter. 90 00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:22,260 So Robin Hood Sharpshooter we're all familiar with. 91 00:04:22,260 --> 00:04:26,580 We've seen decks with Robin Hood Sharpshooter, particularly green red decks at this point. 92 00:04:26,580 --> 00:04:28,340 Sam, do you want to tell us Robin Hood real quick? 93 00:04:28,340 --> 00:04:29,540 I'm sure you looked it up over there. 94 00:04:29,540 --> 00:04:35,900 Robin Hood Sharpshooter is a Ruby card that is a 1, 4, 2, 4 uninkable. 95 00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:39,340 And whenever this character quests, look at the top four cards of your deck. 96 00:04:39,340 --> 00:04:43,240 You may reveal an action card with cost 6 or less and play it for free. 97 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,820 Put the rest into your discard. 98 00:04:44,820 --> 00:04:45,820 Right. 99 00:04:45,820 --> 00:04:48,140 These are cards and I'll stop torturing you making you read all the cards. 100 00:04:48,140 --> 00:04:51,300 This card we are pretty familiar with from the green red decks. 101 00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:55,660 I know Specimen was championing this archetype for a while and I think some people are finding 102 00:04:55,660 --> 00:04:59,700 fondness with it because it plays some cool cards you don't get to normally play. 103 00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:02,620 There are two new cards that really help this out. 104 00:05:02,620 --> 00:05:03,740 One is Raya. 105 00:05:03,740 --> 00:05:05,060 We're getting our first good Raya. 106 00:05:05,060 --> 00:05:07,260 This is the Kumandrin Rider. 107 00:05:07,260 --> 00:05:09,260 She is a 4 cost uninkable card. 108 00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:14,940 I believe she is a 3, 3, 2 as her stat line and she has the ability whenever you ink a 109 00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:20,180 card you get to ready a character they cannot quest for the rest of the turn however. 110 00:05:20,180 --> 00:05:24,380 The reason I think this is good with Robin Hood is because you want to protect Robin 111 00:05:24,380 --> 00:05:25,380 Hood. 112 00:05:25,380 --> 00:05:28,220 That's the biggest problem with Robin Hood is his ability is when he quests and then 113 00:05:28,220 --> 00:05:30,480 he's staying on the field exerted. 114 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,580 That makes him very vulnerable to being challenged. 115 00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:38,140 Raya helps you get Robin Hood back into a position where he's a little bit more protected 116 00:05:38,140 --> 00:05:39,660 which I think is very, very important. 117 00:05:39,660 --> 00:05:42,860 A similar effect can be found on the red card coming out in the set. 118 00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:45,860 It is John Silver, ferocious friend. 119 00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:50,100 So a little bit worse in that you have to deal damage to the character in order to ready 120 00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:54,540 it but I still think that that effect is also quite good and having redundant copies you 121 00:05:54,540 --> 00:05:58,460 may find that you want a couple of more versions of this card to be able to do. 122 00:05:58,460 --> 00:06:03,420 It might just be as simple as we just play LeFau instead as like copy 5 and 6 over Raya 123 00:06:03,420 --> 00:06:05,460 and John Silver but I don't know if that's important. 124 00:06:05,460 --> 00:06:10,300 I just think that Robin Hood gets some benefit from in color characters that can help prevent 125 00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:13,380 him from being left exerted on the board. 126 00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:19,160 Next up, speaking of John Silver's, I think John Silver, greedy treasure seeker gets a 127 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,580 big bump in this particular set. 128 00:06:21,580 --> 00:06:25,880 There's one card in particular that I think really helps this card because obviously this 129 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,220 John Silver is a pirate. 130 00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:31,420 I'm more interested in the location part because that's how we win the game less so than the 131 00:06:31,420 --> 00:06:32,780 type line of being a pirate. 132 00:06:32,780 --> 00:06:35,120 I think the other card is a pirate by chance. 133 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,240 I think that card is Minnie Mouse, pirate lookout. 134 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,900 This card, when you would ink, I believe. 135 00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:45,700 She's a 3-2-1 for 3 and she lets you get a location back from your discard pot. 136 00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:47,940 It is whenever you put a card into your ink well. 137 00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:48,940 Okay, so when you ink. 138 00:06:48,940 --> 00:06:51,400 We're seeing a lot of when you ink effects in this set. 139 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,700 That is a theme that runs through it. 140 00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:57,380 I think Minnie Mouse being able to get back locations after a lot of players have changed 141 00:06:57,380 --> 00:07:00,460 the shape of the game and the way they're playing to deal with the card. 142 00:07:00,460 --> 00:07:04,540 I think having the ability to just simply get it back through taking a game action, 143 00:07:04,540 --> 00:07:07,260 you're going to be taking normally is very, very powerful. 144 00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:09,540 So Minnie being able to bring back locations. 145 00:07:09,540 --> 00:07:12,920 John Silver can continue to quest and get big resist numbers. 146 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,100 It just makes the whole situation very difficult. 147 00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:18,340 We'll talk more about different decks and archetypes as we proceed. 148 00:07:18,340 --> 00:07:22,460 Something that's good about these ones during your turn when you ink effects is that it 149 00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:23,740 can happen that turn. 150 00:07:23,740 --> 00:07:26,060 Next card that is getting a big boost. 151 00:07:26,060 --> 00:07:27,900 I personally do not support this. 152 00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:30,260 I just want to put it out there before we get there. 153 00:07:30,260 --> 00:07:35,900 Next card getting a big boost is Starlight Vial is finding its way into a lot of conversations 154 00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:36,900 lately. 155 00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:42,220 Starlight Vial is an item that let the next action you play cost two ink less. 156 00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:48,340 A lot of people are using this or considering this as a way to ramp out the seven drop action 157 00:07:48,340 --> 00:07:55,940 bend to my will, which is a seven cost action that has each opponent discard their hand. 158 00:07:55,940 --> 00:07:57,900 All of it, every card in it. 159 00:07:57,900 --> 00:08:00,180 So use this in tandem with some blue ramp. 160 00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:03,980 Ideally, and you're able to cast this very far ahead of schedule. 161 00:08:03,980 --> 00:08:07,700 The reason I personally don't like this is I think it's a little bit too all in and you're 162 00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:11,940 going to be left with like between two and four cards in your hand, four on the very, 163 00:08:11,940 --> 00:08:12,940 very upside. 164 00:08:12,940 --> 00:08:15,780 If everything goes right for you, two in most likely scenarios. 165 00:08:15,780 --> 00:08:17,660 So you're two against zero. 166 00:08:17,660 --> 00:08:21,540 You're not too far up on cards and chances are they've committed a little bit more aggressively 167 00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:24,220 to the board in a meaningful way than you have. 168 00:08:24,220 --> 00:08:29,660 So you're much more ink positive most likely, but you're probably going to be actual threat 169 00:08:29,660 --> 00:08:32,060 light versus what they're going to have on board. 170 00:08:32,060 --> 00:08:34,580 So then you are hoping to have like something like under the seat. 171 00:08:34,580 --> 00:08:38,420 It feels like it has to be too perfect for you to get all of these things to line up 172 00:08:38,420 --> 00:08:39,700 the way you want them to. 173 00:08:39,700 --> 00:08:44,740 But starlight vial is definitely going from absolutely being buried and having dust and 174 00:08:44,740 --> 00:08:48,700 cobwebs on it to people have blown that off and are looking at it again. 175 00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:53,100 So big win for starlight vial two cards, I think get a big bump from the next card and 176 00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:59,640 that is Simba future King, the one drop steel Simba and Simba protective cub, the two drop 177 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,700 amber Simba from chapter one, both getting a significant boost by way of Simba pride 178 00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:05,700 protector. 179 00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:07,220 This one I'll read, please. 180 00:09:07,220 --> 00:09:11,860 Simba pride protector is a four, four, two for five uninkable. 181 00:09:11,860 --> 00:09:16,260 And it has shift three has the ability of understand the balance at the end of your 182 00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:17,260 turn. 183 00:09:17,260 --> 00:09:19,820 If this character is exerted, you may ready your other character. 184 00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:24,120 So this card obviously is quite good as a shift in an aggressive shell. 185 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,820 It lets you ready all of your other characters. 186 00:09:26,820 --> 00:09:31,860 Really exciting makes as we just discussed with the little synergies with Robin Hood, 187 00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:35,520 this Simba also can do that and makes it very, very powerful. 188 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,460 So I think that this is going to be a big boon. 189 00:09:37,460 --> 00:09:41,540 It also costs five, which means that it can sing songs if that's applicable. 190 00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:45,660 So something like a pride lands aggro style deck in amber steel can still sing a whole 191 00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:50,020 new world or another song if need be because Simba can do that so effectively. 192 00:09:50,020 --> 00:09:51,020 And the shift line is nice. 193 00:09:51,020 --> 00:09:52,060 It's a good shift line. 194 00:09:52,060 --> 00:09:55,420 I think that this card, a lot of people are going to be testing with, and I think it's 195 00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:59,520 a card to definitely have on your mind as we begin the format. 196 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,020 So I wanted to make sure I called that out. 197 00:10:01,020 --> 00:10:02,360 We've been waiting for the shift Simba. 198 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,540 We got one last set. 199 00:10:03,540 --> 00:10:07,220 It was okay, but not super played, maybe one or two copies. 200 00:10:07,220 --> 00:10:11,500 And it is, I think by far the more powerful, obviously we're talking about uncommon versus 201 00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:12,500 all legendary. 202 00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:15,500 So big ups for Simba in that particular archetype. 203 00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:20,180 So now we're talking less about cards and more decks or strategies that have gotten 204 00:10:20,180 --> 00:10:23,340 some big improvements from new cards. 205 00:10:23,340 --> 00:10:24,340 Potentially. 206 00:10:24,340 --> 00:10:25,660 I think I'm very wrong here, right? 207 00:10:25,660 --> 00:10:26,700 It's worth testing. 208 00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:30,480 These are things that stand out in my mind and in Sam's mind as some things that might 209 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,940 be pretty darn good. 210 00:10:31,940 --> 00:10:34,860 First off, I think Blurple's getting a couple of tools. 211 00:10:34,860 --> 00:10:37,860 First one is Madam Mim, Truly Marvelous. 212 00:10:37,860 --> 00:10:45,580 And she is a character that lets you pay two, ink, and discard a card to gain one lore. 213 00:10:45,580 --> 00:10:48,460 So her stat line is kind of, eh, she's uninkable three drop. 214 00:10:48,460 --> 00:10:50,020 It's like a two, three, one, I think. 215 00:10:50,020 --> 00:10:54,540 Her stat line's pretty miserable, but her effect for Blurple is very good. 216 00:10:54,540 --> 00:10:58,260 Cause a lot of times in Blurple, you have a bunch of ramp cards that maybe you don't 217 00:10:58,260 --> 00:11:01,780 want to play out like some extra Mickey Mouse detectives. 218 00:11:01,780 --> 00:11:05,600 And you often have a lot of ink cause you spent the first several turns ramping. 219 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:11,300 So I think that this card is pretty darn good at helping you close out a game or explode 220 00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:15,620 out of nowhere as extra copies of like a Merlin goat for this particular deck. 221 00:11:15,620 --> 00:11:16,620 Yeah. 222 00:11:16,620 --> 00:11:18,180 And there's not like a limit on how many times you can do it. 223 00:11:18,180 --> 00:11:23,140 So late game, if you have four cards and eight ink, you just gain four, win the game. 224 00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:24,540 You can absolutely do that. 225 00:11:24,540 --> 00:11:26,340 Very powerful card to call out for Blurple. 226 00:11:26,340 --> 00:11:31,200 I think of the purple decks, Blurple probably has the best use for this particular card, 227 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,980 but it may end up finding a home somewhere else. 228 00:11:32,980 --> 00:11:33,980 I don't know. 229 00:11:33,980 --> 00:11:37,580 The other card to call out is Hades, Lord of the Dead. 230 00:11:37,580 --> 00:11:41,900 Blurple tends to want to close the game out because it doesn't have the most robust options. 231 00:11:41,900 --> 00:11:44,000 It can't deal with similarly wide boards. 232 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,460 So with Blurple, you tend to want to be the front footed deck in the format. 233 00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:54,100 Hades lets you do that and punishes your opponent from challenging your character space. 234 00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:58,340 Let's leave them there so they can all quest or you can start to take out my other characters, 235 00:11:58,340 --> 00:12:00,100 but I'm going to gain lore if you do. 236 00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:04,460 And Hades stat line is pretty absurd at three, four, three for six uninkable. 237 00:12:04,460 --> 00:12:07,340 It's an attractive looking card for the purple decks in my opinion. 238 00:12:07,340 --> 00:12:08,340 Yeah, I agree. 239 00:12:08,340 --> 00:12:09,340 Baymax is pretty sick. 240 00:12:09,340 --> 00:12:13,820 We did see with our preliminary testing, we saw Baymax do some pretty crazy things. 241 00:12:13,820 --> 00:12:15,380 Baymax quests hard. 242 00:12:15,380 --> 00:12:16,580 That line is decent. 243 00:12:16,580 --> 00:12:19,580 It's a little susceptible playing a five drop to have it brawl. 244 00:12:19,580 --> 00:12:20,580 Feels pretty bad. 245 00:12:20,580 --> 00:12:23,900 It does have that six butt, so it makes it hard to take care of like Hyrum. 246 00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:24,900 Right. 247 00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:27,380 The steel removal just struggles to take care of it. 248 00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:29,460 So maybe something like Baymax as well. 249 00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:33,420 Great legendary card there that helps do exactly what Blurple wants to be doing. 250 00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:36,900 Challenge something with a fox and then quest with Baymax to take the damage off a fox. 251 00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:38,180 Feels pretty gross. 252 00:12:38,180 --> 00:12:40,940 Next up archetype, I think he's getting some cool toys. 253 00:12:40,940 --> 00:12:44,380 Baja Blast, which is Sapphire Emerald. 254 00:12:44,380 --> 00:12:49,020 One that we've seen a lot of people try to make work at various points in time, but haven't 255 00:12:49,020 --> 00:12:50,020 been able to do so. 256 00:12:50,020 --> 00:12:52,220 Baja Blast gets two cards I wanted to call out. 257 00:12:52,220 --> 00:12:53,880 One obviously is the bend to my will. 258 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,460 The point is you ramp on two with your Teepo or your Azure 8C, one jump, whatever it is. 259 00:12:58,460 --> 00:13:03,100 And then you go into playing your Starlight Vial or Flamingo Iago. 260 00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:06,260 And then you go ahead the following turn and play the bend to my will. 261 00:13:06,260 --> 00:13:09,060 I think that is very thin, but I think a lot of people are going to be doing it. 262 00:13:09,060 --> 00:13:13,540 The real get I think for this strategy is going to end up being the Green Basil, Disguised 263 00:13:13,540 --> 00:13:16,380 Detective who is our flood born green card. 264 00:13:16,380 --> 00:13:20,020 I think this card is very good whenever you ink, you get to pay one and you can have your 265 00:13:20,020 --> 00:13:21,940 opponent discard a card. 266 00:13:21,940 --> 00:13:23,300 Stat line is actually like pretty good. 267 00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:25,220 I think it costs six and is inkable, right? 268 00:13:25,220 --> 00:13:26,740 Yeah, it's just chosen opponent. 269 00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:27,740 Oh, it's chosen. 270 00:13:27,740 --> 00:13:28,740 That's a different one. 271 00:13:28,740 --> 00:13:29,740 Okay. 272 00:13:29,740 --> 00:13:30,740 So six cost inkable. 273 00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:31,740 Four, five, two. 274 00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:33,340 Yeah, it's a good stat line. 275 00:13:33,340 --> 00:13:34,340 Annoying to deal with. 276 00:13:34,340 --> 00:13:35,340 It can only be Zeus. 277 00:13:35,340 --> 00:13:38,420 Can't really be hit with red outside of ice block technology. 278 00:13:38,420 --> 00:13:39,700 So I really like that a lot. 279 00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:44,020 I think that's a good get for that deck because keeping your opponent light on resources to 280 00:13:44,020 --> 00:13:48,340 get back into a game is really where you have to be in Baja Blast because you can't deal 281 00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:50,460 with the board directly outside of under the sea. 282 00:13:50,460 --> 00:13:52,820 And Basil helps sing a good portion of that song. 283 00:13:52,820 --> 00:13:53,820 So pretty cool. 284 00:13:53,820 --> 00:13:57,420 Next, we've already kind of teased this one out a little bit, but I think that the big 285 00:13:57,420 --> 00:14:00,620 gets for this particular archetype being red steel. 286 00:14:00,620 --> 00:14:05,700 I think the big gets for this one is the aforementioned Minnie Mouse, Pirate Lookout and Vanellope, 287 00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:07,420 Gutsy Go-Gitter. 288 00:14:07,420 --> 00:14:11,900 That's right, another Vanellope Von Schweetz I think is quite good. 289 00:14:11,900 --> 00:14:16,840 So Vanellope Von Schweetz has an ability that if she starts off at a location at the beginning 290 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,340 of your turn, you get to gain a lure and draw a card. 291 00:14:19,340 --> 00:14:23,260 And I think where this deck stumbles hard is in the category of card draw. 292 00:14:23,260 --> 00:14:25,500 So early on we saw it in the set four meta. 293 00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:29,300 We saw a lot of people trying pirates with this particular archetype and realizing like 294 00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:32,780 the only card draw available to them is a whole new world. 295 00:14:32,780 --> 00:14:36,340 And that ended up being kind of a disaster because you gave your opponent too many resources 296 00:14:36,340 --> 00:14:38,020 to handle your locations. 297 00:14:38,020 --> 00:14:43,860 And then we saw Doc come into the fold at the Vegas DLC where a red steel deck made 298 00:14:43,860 --> 00:14:47,140 a deep run into day two, which is awesome. 299 00:14:47,140 --> 00:14:49,940 And thing I want to point out about this deck, my little disclaimer is you're going to be 300 00:14:49,940 --> 00:14:52,460 a pirate deck or you're going to be a location deck. 301 00:14:52,460 --> 00:14:54,600 Likely you're not going to be a pirate location deck. 302 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,500 It's just asking too much of you. 303 00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:59,660 I think if you're going to go pirate, you get a cool new smite that will help you be 304 00:14:59,660 --> 00:15:01,420 more controlling in mid range. 305 00:15:01,420 --> 00:15:03,900 I think you're going to be able to eke out a lot of games that way. 306 00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:06,500 I think you're definitely going to play locations in your pirate deck. 307 00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:09,300 Don't get me wrong, but I think the pirate part of it is going to be the predominant 308 00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:12,420 force versus the secondary location part. 309 00:15:12,420 --> 00:15:17,300 I think the red steel deck that I'm talking about more is the location style deck that 310 00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:18,300 we saw at Vegas. 311 00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:20,540 That is simply adding many to add redundancy. 312 00:15:20,540 --> 00:15:23,980 So you can keep getting your removal back by way of getting back your seven dwarves 313 00:15:23,980 --> 00:15:29,420 mines and adding Vanellope to help add an element of card draw into your deck. 314 00:15:29,420 --> 00:15:30,420 That's consistent. 315 00:15:30,420 --> 00:15:32,660 What about the wreck at Ralph with the location deck? 316 00:15:32,660 --> 00:15:33,660 It's possible in a vacuum. 317 00:15:33,660 --> 00:15:38,300 I get it back and then banish it and get it back and just gain those extra lore by itself. 318 00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:41,220 Wreck at Ralph looks like a heck of a card, so we'll see if it does find a home. 319 00:15:41,220 --> 00:15:45,060 It's just one that it's just a generically good card, so it doesn't have a home easily 320 00:15:45,060 --> 00:15:46,900 identifiable yet. 321 00:15:46,900 --> 00:15:51,720 The final deck that I think is getting the big ups is either your favorite or your least 322 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,720 favorite probably. 323 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,660 And that's Ruby Sapphire because I think sailing the Azure eight C is a very messed up card. 324 00:15:57,660 --> 00:15:59,580 I think that's a huge get for this deck. 325 00:15:59,580 --> 00:16:03,620 I think it's going to be extremely problematic because it just gives you more inkables, gives 326 00:16:03,620 --> 00:16:05,300 you more card draw in the late game. 327 00:16:05,300 --> 00:16:09,340 When your ramp can just simply be draw a card in the very late game when you're digging 328 00:16:09,340 --> 00:16:11,460 for your pieces with your visions at all. 329 00:16:11,460 --> 00:16:16,020 I think that card just offers so much flexibility for a deck that was already very, very good. 330 00:16:16,020 --> 00:16:18,340 As good as that deck was, I think it's only going to get better. 331 00:16:18,340 --> 00:16:20,700 Do I think there are other tools that could go in it? 332 00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:21,700 Absolutely. 333 00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:23,580 I am not a proficient enough pilot of the deck. 334 00:16:23,580 --> 00:16:24,580 It's not my favorite. 335 00:16:24,580 --> 00:16:28,480 It's one I often play because I think it's often the best deck, but I'm not good enough 336 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,340 to say what is or is not in there. 337 00:16:30,340 --> 00:16:34,260 But I will say that I think that this deck is going to be very, very interested in sailing 338 00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:36,280 the Azure eight C quite a bit. 339 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,300 So I think that gets a very big win. 340 00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:39,300 I agree with you. 341 00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:40,300 Excellent. 342 00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:43,300 Green purple is going to be an archetype that also get a single card. 343 00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:45,100 But I think that the single card is going to be very good. 344 00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:46,900 Do I think there are other cards that could nestle into it? 345 00:16:46,900 --> 00:16:47,900 Of course. 346 00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:48,900 But time's going to tell. 347 00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:52,260 I think the big gap for green purple or green steel, depending on how you configure the 348 00:16:52,260 --> 00:16:53,260 deck is go go. 349 00:16:53,260 --> 00:16:54,260 Tom ago. 350 00:16:54,260 --> 00:16:59,540 This card is extremely powerful, adding a Merlin's goat esque effect with the ability to end 351 00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:02,340 the game very proficiently as floor. 352 00:17:02,340 --> 00:17:06,180 It's a two two that is evasive and costs two. 353 00:17:06,180 --> 00:17:11,860 So it can challenge Diablo and deal with problematic cards in the early game, as well as just simply 354 00:17:11,860 --> 00:17:15,240 be a win condition at the very end of the game. 355 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,940 So I think this is some cool stuff to established archetypes, getting some stuff. 356 00:17:19,940 --> 00:17:25,560 And I think some fringy archetypes might actually begin to cement themselves as format staples 357 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:26,560 and core construct. 358 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,420 So I'm very excited to see what people do. 359 00:17:28,420 --> 00:17:29,540 That'll do it for the podcast. 360 00:17:29,540 --> 00:17:35,140 If you like this, we will be back at you, of course, with our set review this Sunday, 361 00:17:35,140 --> 00:17:37,260 November 10th, that time of recording. 362 00:17:37,260 --> 00:17:40,540 So please do come give it a listen if you're
