Thank you so much for putting together this video for us! It truly helped me so much. I look forward to continue to watch you and your channel grow!❤❤❤
@@Kid63 thank you so much for your kind words! I plan to continue to make more videos in the future that are also more in depth! They take a bit of time and some inspiration but subscribe for more future videos!!! 🥳
@@gillygabyte ofc!!😇
This video has made me put things into perspective and helped me identify a better approach. I’m new to deck building, so I appreciate you taking the time to explain things thoroughly and include examples. Thank you so much!
So glad that this was helpful! Of course there are some situations where ratios make a difference in some senses but this video is a helpful tool/blueprint for people to keep in mind when we deck build in general! 😄
Great vid! I’m excited to see more data driven deck building!
That’s what I like to do here! There’s a lot more Lorcana videos to be made so be sure to subscribe for more videos! 🤩
Amazing Video!! SO MUCH dedication in this video and it really shows! Can't wait to see more and thank you for all the effort :)
There will be more to come! Videos take a while tho to make when they are in this format or in depth🤓😋
Great video! Thank you
So glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Dude - what a video! Nice work and analysis!! I loved the ratio between uninkables and draw cards. It’s something that I had never associated the two with before. Also liked the simple way you explained deck types with the ink cost curve, keeping it simple for beginners. Would love to see additional content - maybe on the pros or cons of playing your decks against each other and why they would be likely to fail. Would also love a video discussion on why a deck with Agro / Control would fail or succeed against the a solid Agro or solid control. Well done and well explained!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I plan to make many more videos on Lorcana, I just take a while to make videos as I want them to be as helpful or useful as possible!
Stay subscribed and I’ll be sure to prove you you (and everyone) I will earn your sub!
I just watched this for the third time, still useful info even with the third chapter out
So glad that it’s helping you out even after 3 full sets released and you were able to watch it multiple times over! 🥳
Great video! Thank you! It’s my first time playing any TCG so the deck building has been (and is!) a struggle/ learning curve, so this is a massive help. I think I’ve got stuck trying to add a little bit of everything into my deck instead of focusing on one clear tactic. Subscribed!
Always come up with a win condition for your deck and add cards that help you towards that strategy! It’s nice to be able to do little interactions and plays but if you don’t have a core strategy, you’ll just have a lot of weaker game plans instead of a singular really strong one!
By win condition do you mean like be aggressive or win the late game etc? Sorry for the stupid question!
@@kanekrlic7443 not a stupid question! So win conditions can vary per deck
What does your deck do best to win the game?
Aggro is going fast and wide - race to 20
Control is controlling the game state and is in it for the long run
Mid range is in between
There are decks with a specific strategy that leads them to victory
Mill decks make your opponents have 0 cards left in deck
There’s a lot that specific colors can do but for example:
Emerald decks have the ability to prevent your opponent from doing specific actions leading you to victory
Thank you so much for doing full probability based analysis.
Check out my latest video about ratio for inkable and uninkable cards!
It’s goes even more in depth!
Fantastic Video. Would love to see if this changes with the current new mechanic of locations.
Here’s an updated example regarding new mechanics of locations:
The premise is still the same -
I like to start with 3 copies of a card for testing purposes
If it’s uninkable, I typically drop the card down to 2 copies
if a particular card is beneficial to the overall game plan and can progress my win condition I increase my count by 1 copy! (Inkable to 4; uninkable to 3)
I’m always trying to ensure I can play on curve and make sure I have enough ink to not clog up my hands with unplayables
Hope this helps!!!
I planned on making more in depth discussions on this topic but it doesn’t really warrant a full video at least not yet 🤓
I think a key factor for 1 ofs is the “I never want to see two of these” effect. If it’s sometimes great, often ok/ink, but you never want to see two of them, consider a one of silver bullet against the level of synergy the deck prefers.
Depending on the mulligan, you will realistically only see a 1 of every 11.67%-25% of your games
One-ofs are very situational but should always be considered worth a spot in your deck
If this game ever gets side boarding, we can easily slot in tech cards to the side to maximize consistency of our decks when building 😁
@@gillygabyte I think there's plenty of tournament decks in magic, that run one-of copies of a card. Two reasons for that really:
1. There's a better card that does the same thing and you're already running the full 4 of them but you determined that you want 5 copies of the effect. But that's not really what we're talking about here, just interesting to note.
2. The effect of the card in question is quite strong but the card has a higher cost and you just NEVER want two copies of the card in your hand because it just doesn't make sense in multiples. E.g. as an example a card that says "remove all cards from all graveyards, for every card removed your opponent loses 1 life". This will only ever be useful exactly once and the graveyard will not fill up a second time for a second casting to ever be worthwhile in the same game. But the effect is still strong enough that you'd always gladly play it, just not strong enough to risk having two of them in your hand.
But also: Considering that in Lorcana we have the inkwell-system, I'd be way more lenient towards 1-offs of inkable cards while being way more critical towards 1-off uninkable cards that can't just turn into ink if you don't need them. It's kind of cool that in Lorcana you can put pretty narrow cards in your deck and if you don't want to play them, they can just be ink. Though obviously if a card gets inked 95% of the time, the 5% of the time you DO use it, it better be game winning, or otherwise there's a good chance that you'll find another inkable card that is useful more often.
Great video very useful information!! Quick question are the discarded cards from Ransack Banished and can be brought back with hades? or is there a separate discard pile?
It’s the same pile 😋
Saw your meta posts on the facebook group, definitely subscribed now!
Glad to have you here!
This video is a winner!
Thanks so much! I’ve put a lot of effort in this video before posting! Please share with others if you found it helpful!
Good discussion.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Great video found it really useful! I have always been playing minimum of 3 beast in this meta though as the card draw items can give your opponents a huge advantage, even aladdin decks ive played against use shields to protect him. So i have to guarantee i get him out haha 😂
That’s the best thing about tech cards, you can always tweak, test, and refine your builds that best fit your playstyle 🥳
@@gillygabyte Yeah you're right! Honestly well done on this video so much thought and detail gone into it!
@@georgethebadger1558 thank you very much! Be sure to join the discord and feel free to chat with me there where I’m probably easiest to reach and hang out 😋
@@gillygabyte what's the info for the discord and where can I find it? Would be great to!
@@georgethebadger1558 check the pinned comment and the description box!
One issue I see with running too many uninkable cards isn't just that your probability of getting an inkable card go down, it's also that too many uninkable cards pretty much force you to use your other cards for ink -> it reduces your options. If you run too many uninkable cards, your inkable cards might as well have no text on them because you're pretty much only using them as ink. Also, any cards that are inkable but are incredibly important to your gameplan might as well be considered "uninkable" because you never want to use them for ink no matter what the symbol says in the top left corner. So even if you run "only" 16 uninkables, if 8+ of your inkable cards are virtually never played into the inkpool, you really actually have 24 "uninkable cards".
Any uninkable card you put in the deck should really be a card that you want to play every single time you draw it. Conversly, any given inkable card that is a bit narrow in it's application is ok to run since you can just ink it in those times when it's not useful. E.g. some kind of tech-card that might not be relevant every single game.
You should check out my latest video regarding a program I made to help with uninkable ratios per deck! I go super in depth on this topic!
New to your channel. Great video. Where can I play online? I can’t find places in stores where I live.

LOL i love the in depth statistics and powerpoint for a Disney game, you should work for NASA
I love card games 🤓🥰
Nasa dont know anything other than fake propaganda
I’m overwhelmed 😭 .. good video though
Deck building can be complex! But I hope it was at least helpful! 🤓
the sudden master duel music had me trippin
The disrespect toward Aurora in the thumbnail is sad lol.
It’s the top 8 playmat from gencon lol
rules of thumb from 60 card MTG decks that can apply to Lorcana as well:
1. +/- 40% resources cards ( 24 inkable cards)
2. From the remaining cards (36): +/- 60% creatures/characters (22 cards), +/- 40% items/songs (14 cards) NOTE: Could need to be adjusted a bit given that Lorcana doesn't have an explicit resource type and that characters/items/songs will be used to make up the inkwell resources)
3. Number of copies:
four copies: I want to naturally draw into these every game and multiple times
three copies: I want to naturally draw into these most games and potentially multiple times.
two copies: Cards that are good to naturally draw into mid to late games and/or situational i can tutor for(situations that might arise more than once)
one copy: Cards that are situational, that are not needed every game but can be tutored for if needed and do not need to be drawn into naturally.
4. Curve: keep the majority of the deck below 4 cost with a peak at 3 or 4 depending on the type of deck early/mid/late game play
I love seeing the parallels you mentioned relating to magic
I am currently working on a video regarding Inkable vs Un-Inkable ratios and referencing what is already known across other card games is super resourceful!
I like blue because i can turn my un-inkables into ink
That is pretty cool 😎
This video dont work for.phones screen side he need zoom at the carda so we can read them
You can pinch to zoom in, but I explain every card that I display - these are just examples and concepts anyways! 😁
My deck size is 66. Your video is helping me get my deck down.
So glad that this was helpful! If you’re interested in seeing more deck builds, I have another video featuring all the color combinations 😄
Are one drops essential for deck building in this game? I find myself brewing decks and always opting out of the One Drop characters due to fitting more tech and impactful cards in the deck.
It’s always nice to be able to play something on the first turn but as more cards come out, it becomes less relevant especially for late game style decks 🤓
It depend how much lore you can get from it
In magic you need atleast 20 mana
Most games in lorcana will end before reaching 10 inks
Not unless you play Sapphire, you can easily get past 10 ink a game 😎
Great video - please stop cupping your mic. It makes your voice sound distorted and honkey. The couple of seconds where you took the hand of the mic grill was a relief :D
Thanks for the feedback!
My deck size is 64. Little extra because I ramp.
What deck are you playing? 😁
@@gillygabyte Ruby Sapphire. My strategy is ramp fast and quest with evasive.
@@pokemercenary6511 very solid strat 👀
I dont like talking about my deck size
Doing a deckbuilding video guide and then putting just in time in that first deck is just so funny to me like ?? Not a very smart deckbuilding decision I fear
Hello! So just in time allows you to cheat out the ink curve a whole 2 turns early which is very great for aggressive strategies and can win games on turn 4-5 if done efficiently
The average turns in Lorcana is 10 and it aggro decks can do it faster before control decks can ready up, they win the game 🤓
@@gillygabyte okay here's my take, just in time is a card that cannot be played as a 4x in any deck ever without it being a deckbuilding mistake
Good information, but there is 0 upside to you physically being in the video like that, you move around, you block your curves, and the quality of the vid goes down the drain with it.
again, the info is GREAT, but the way its presented made me want to close the vid after 10 seconds.
As someone who makes multiple formats of videos and can see the data from the different styles I’ve tried, I can assure you being in the video retains attention for most people
I show the full slide, I move in and then around, step in and out to show the full slide and have the data on my Discord
More videos will come and it will be a similar format as this is the format of videos I enjoy making the most 🤓
Great info. Please get off of the screen. At most you should be in a small box in the corner. This isn’t a weather report.
Been there, done that
My video, my format
You’re correct that it isn’t a weather report, it’s a presentation
Subjects on a screen keep retention rate better than just a voice reading what’s on the screen
