Hmm, I don’t see any reason to let Hercules be ready when you play him. You can’t quest until his ink is dry.
Could easily do a 1 cost 3 damage by giving it no flourish
So far amber seems pretty strong! the amount of cost reduction and recursion is pretty powerful.
Had an idea for how locations could work. Thematically it makes sense that when you go on a quest you discover new locations. So maybe you can pay for a location card with the lore value on a character. Similar to how songs can be paid for with cost value, locations could be paid for with lore value. So you quest with a character and instead of gaining lore you can play the location card for “free”. It would probably have to be pretty powerful to justify the cost of not gaining lore but it could be a fun extra decision to make. Most likely won’t happen but it was just a fun idea I had and felt like sharing.
Loved the video, and can't wait to see more.
But I think you guys may be sleeping on Beast's Mirror, and not just for aggro.
So let me make my case.
The resource management of Lorcana looks to be very tight. In terms of cards and ink. So how you build to answer that problem will create a core identity of your deck.
For instance. If you play along the cost curve and simply place 1 Ink every round, and play 1 card every round. That's 2 cards out of your hand, but only 1 card to replace them. So assuming you play no more than 1 card a turn, you will be down to 1 card a turn by t6 (t5 if you are first player.) at the latest. Then if you play anything else at all, a song, an item, a 2nd low cost glimmer or anything else, you just reduced your turns till empty by 1. And your playing steel, so you most likely will have fired a few cannons by then at the least. And in most cases, your opponent will be in the same shape. So now you are stuck top decking and relying on board state. But what if you could play whatever you draw without worry, because you know you get a 2nd draw this turn, while your opponent doesn't. And worst case scenario, you put it as Ink, to build toward your big finisher.
Couple that with develope your brain, and you are getting to pick and choose what cards you get. And on top of that, you are doing it for 1 Ink cheaper than Magic Mirror.
Then it gets even better if you are running sapphire ramp, or amethyst swarm. Or maybe emerald. Forcing your opponent to give you even more hand advantage if they want to deal with your board state.
It's got a lot of options to build out of. And because the nature of the game, you will be forced into a need for it, sooner than one might think, without even needing to be aggro.
I could be wrong, but I think it's going to be a very effect card for most decks.
But then, I think Olaf is a good card too. (More on that at another time.) So who knows, I could be way off. 🤷♂️
Fantastic video!! Thanks for the breakdown! Every time I hear more about Lorcana, I get more and more excited!! Looking forward to future breakdowns from you guys!
