Quick Links
WithDisney Lorcana’sShimmer Skies, we got two more Starter decks.
It’s time for a celebration with Disney Lorcana’s fifth set, Shimmering Skies.
The Emerald and Steel deck doesn’t rely on the ink pairing’s usual strategy of discarding.
Just try andavoid sending it into challengesitself, as the card draw is too valuable to risk.
Leading the way is Shenzi, a terrifying way of gaining a lot of lore very quickly.
The deck also has Robin Hood, Archery Contested as an available shifting target.
The downside is that this immediately puts a target on Robin.
Flexibility is core to a successful Lorcana deck, and Tug-Of-War provides it.
Food Fight!
Like Tug-Of-War, Food Fight!
is a way of enabling challenging damaged characters.
But if you could pull it off, Food Fight could turn the tide of a game easily.
Steel/Emerald Playstyle
As mentioned, this deck is about two things:damage and challenging.
You don’t actually need to banish a character you challenge.
Most of the effects in this deck only care about whether you’ve challenged or not.
A big drawback of the deck is itslack of Bodyguards.
Running alongside this theme is the deck’s secondary focus onHyenas.
If you have a hand full of expensive cards, or uninkable cards, you should consider mulliganing.
However, this deck needs to take something else into consideration:the speed of your opponent.
This means some low-cost cards might not actually be worth keeping.
Weaknesses
This deck is very focused on its goal, which is great.
What’s less great is that its goal iskeeping your opponents' characters alive.
It also folds to control.
Because of this, you’ll want tohit faster than Steel decks are used to.
