Great video. This deck has definitely helped me improve my fundamentals in terms of playing the game. Love seeing how things evolve and not feeling like a douche for trying out cards in lists.
Its really funny to me to see the creation process. Out here in California. My buddy Jonathan Lee and I were coming at it from a Mines / Doc / Happy / John Silver starting place. As we went, we came across some of the same issues with regards to RS matchup, so started to play Wendy etc. It's funny how our logic mirrored each each other. I knew this deck was being built elsewhere. And when I booked a coaching session with Jakx, it was fun to see how similar our lists were.
Awesome video! Really enjoyed this walktrough on the different interations of the deck, the cards you teates and the reasoning for you choices 👌 A few questions: 1. I have been quite happy with Imperial bow to deal with evasive threats, which is something the deck lacks to me. Do you just rely on removal or racing them to 20? An other option would be Robin hood - unrivaled archer. He deals with genie cleanly and often draws a card, but the 6-cost may be too much 🤔 2. How do you feel about Hercules - True Hero to Hercules - Divine Hero? Going 3->4 is definately worse than 1->3, but the 6/3 with resist 2 seem pretty strong. 3. Can we get a link to jakx's dreamborn profile? Would love to look further into the different versions. (Unless he wants to keep it non-public, which is fair).
@Rasmus.Elnegaard we sing strength on genies and race to 20 lore yea. That's a cool shift life but I think the 2d herc isn't amazing and the 1d hood is a goon but decent I believe his dreamborn isn't publi! Sorry!
@harlansweete thanks for replying 🙏 I figured as much regarding Genie. Guess I have to spend some unwanted money on strength of a raging fire, if Genie keeps being a menace 😅 I have played Smash as a budget replacement, but it tops at 3 damage, so it doesn't deal with genie 🫤 I was thinking about the 3drop 3/3 Hercules with Bodyguard. Agree, the 2 drop is unimpressive.
Such an awesome video. I would love to see an in depth discussion on all of our flex spots and other card considerations. On a similar note, is there a reason why we aren’t playing 2-3 happy and Mine?
I can do some talk about ratios and why we play certain cards for sure. Yea the mines package could be applied, its just knowing what to cut! The deck is pretty solid without it.
Did you experiment with Gramma Tala (4 cost)? Probably too slow I guess... but I sometimes wish to have something similar to Merlin Rabbit. Hopefully Sapphire gets some more card draw support with the new set.
Did win a Champion Mat this week with this as well. B/S hype! i did a minor change: i swapped the 1 drop Robin for a Simba 1 drop to smooth out my draws and help to not brick. I know Robin is in for the shift line, but the deck runs so many 3 drops, so i think its not to important to shift Robin on 3. Whats your opinion on Simba?
I love Jakxshadows! And I love creative deckbuilding!
We got another mat today with this man’s beautiful list. Thank you so much for spreading the love, gents.

I'm with you Jak, we will get water sisu in a legit list one day.

Love Jonathan!
Won a second place mat at my first ever Lorcana set champ last weekend with the list, what a wild ride.
Thanks again for the deck. Got my second championship mat today
I absolutely love this deck and won my store champs with it !!!!🎉
Loved this video! It would be great to see this content approach again. I wonder what other Sapphire-Steel flavors will come out.
Great vid gents! Love the collaboration.
I was the one championing the bow, and I still think it's a good tech card, but makes sense to leave it out of this list
I would love too see your list with Imperial bow 🙏
For the people @bobbymcwho
Set6 innovation! thank you Jakxshadows
Great watch!

We did yea but was just a little slow, as u mentioned.

The 1ds are fairly bad for Sapphire Steel. So any of them will do! We just use RH for the shift line
Took this to store championships went 6-0-1 and split in finals runs great I made a few changes, the deck needed lawrence.
Would love to hear your changes!
Please share your changes. I've been thinking lawrence as well
