@@Walkonthesidewalk oh, thank you! With more and more starters out there to choose from, we really wanted to help new players make informed chooses as to what would best suit their needs.
Dwarfs will always be number 1 in my book. It was my first glimpse at tribal in Lorcana. But Madrigals is a close 2nd because they went so hard into the theme.
I play a Starter Deck for each League. I add and develop the deck as the League progresses. I am currently playing a Madrigal Deck. By playing the Starter Deck I have an opportunity to get the extra point and bonus point for League. I enjoyed all the decks but must say my favorite was Merlin and Mim Bounce.
Love the video, thx! and i started with the dalmatians deck and i love that defender pluto, and we are at the moment playing structure decks torunaments on tuesday, on the local store.
Hi new to your channel, would love to learn how to play Lorcana. Do you have a video of yours that you recommend I can watch to help me learn how to play the Lorcana TCG? Thank you 😜
I've been waiting for a video like this one comparing all the starters. I would like to see a Glimmer-Gauntlet-style tournament with all of them. Also I love the @BSquared24 sighting
Understandable. We thought about it, but, the challenge is that this really dates the video. Prices change so frequently based on the meta, atm, that this metric could be out of date very quickly. So, as a proxy for that, we used cards that are played in the meta (our bonus criteria) and you’ll notice that throughout we highlighted when decks included meta relevant cards. And this sort of tracks as Lorcana cards derive most of their value from rarity and playability. If you are interested, the deck that wins that category is Might and Magic with a (currently) $5 Fox and $2 Rabbit.
@@xavierroyer5044 the overall list/rankings will be, yes. But market value of the decks could change much more rapidly. For example, tomorrow, someone could build an insane hero deck with Phil as a staple. He could go to $6 and immediately the pricing metric is out of whack. Prices are fickle… Now, we COULD do a separate list on the most valuable starter decks. But that would be different. With this video, it was more geared towards which deck is the best for a new player to buy to maximize learning and enjoyment. But for collectors, I understand that the value list may be more interesting! What other metrics would you use to rank decks in a video like that?
@@Feanor2024 Glad I'm not the only one, I had a set I hadn't opened yet for Ursula's Return and I see it right there on the back. now I feel like I must have been blind in not seeing it.
My deck is heavily built around Anna/Hercules, and I thankfully removed some of the worse elements for better ones(easily hand buildup and quick ink fodder)
I went and played at my local card store for the first time and someone had a deck with over 100 dalmatians 😅
@@Couick27 I love that SO much!!!
That is awesome!
This is a really cool video idea! For most TCGs, someone ranks starter decks. That's something I haven't seen for Lorcana yet.
Pongo/Peter Pan is my favorite!
It is a reeeeally fun deck! It’s one of Liam’s favorites as well.
Thank you.
We hope it was helpful! (and fun!)
Merlin is my favorite because it combines two of my favorite mechanics: card draw and bouncing
@@PyckledNyk truth. It’s a great deck…and bouncing is so fun.
Well done giving general analysis and opinion!
@@Walkonthesidewalk oh, thank you!

@Illumiteers and I think it's fun to see what others thought about them. And I for sure agree with your top 2 especially. Goats and brooms!

It is definitely one of the best they have produced!
What do you think of the Madrigal deck?
@@Illumiteers I enjoy it. Still slowly building it out week by week.
I collect Pokémon but I really want to learn how to play lorcana
Lorcana is probably the easiest game to learn ever. And I come from magic and yugioh
Really fun list!! ❤
Thank you! It was a lot of fun to put together :)
Love the video, thx!

My picks as a new player would probably be Doggid and Dynamic or A steadfast strategy
Was hoping for a "content market value" comparison as one of the criteria.

@@Illumiteers won't it be dated as soon as other decks are released?

What other metrics would you use to rank decks in a video like that?
Where did the names for the starter decks come from I had not seen/heard or noticed that before your video?
The names are on the backs of the boxes :)
@@IllumiteersI had no idea lol
@@Feanor2024 Glad I'm not the only one, I had a set I hadn't opened yet for Ursula's Return and I see it right there on the back. now I feel like I must have been blind in not seeing it.

That sounds great! That deck is pretty great with a bit of extra card draw and modification.
Did you add some more Annas?
@@Illumiteers yes, I have four of each blue Anna in the deck. I got 18 lore in one turn once. My favorite cards of the set😄
Well Illumineer's Quest has 2 starter decks.
