We kick things off with Koda, a typical 2 cost that provides 2 ink. Low in Willpower and losing lore is not really that common so probably will play a better 2 cost card.

With newer cards in play, 1 drop should either have some good effect or extra lore, Nala unfortunately is outclassed.

Our very first legendary and Prince Naveen is a card to play out a 6 costed song early on. I think in current meta, a lot of songs are either 3 or or more than 6 cost so we might be investing too much for 1 character and 1 song. That being said, you can always adjust your deck to make full use of him. Amber decks need to be fast and I think him being a 4 cost might be a bit too slow for the meta right now. Uninkable too.

4 Cost for only 1 lore and supports for 3 Strength doesn’t feel very appealing at this stage.

Kenai combos with Koda. However, Koda has a Willpower of 1, which means damaging actions can get rid of him. You also need to play Kenai at turn 2, exert him at turn 3 in order to protect Koda. Too much set up just to protect a character that might not see play.

Having both Princess and Racer keywords allows Vanellope to be useful in some decks. She is also a cheap shift target.

Vanilla Tuke is alright but 4 cost and only 1 lore doesn’t fit well in an Amber deck.

2 cost but only 1 lore and 1 Strength Support just isn’t good enough for Amber decks.

Slighting higher cost Vanellope but allows you to reduce an opposing character’s strength. Can come in handy I guess.

3 Cost for Bodyguard feels okay, he is outclassed by Rajah from Set 10 though, so why pick a 2 Strength when you can have 3.

Gazelle is a decent card with 2 lore and Singer 5. Amber doesn’t need Singer 5 since all the good songs are not expensive, but might see her in meta deck soon if we have better 5 cost songs.

Unless Locations makes a return, the 2 extra Willpower from Felix doesn’t really help.

Kristoff can be played at 0 if you manage to filter all your songs to the discard pile. That being said, it’s not an easy set up and uninkable too so he might be stuck at your hand and you cannot do anything about it. Probably need to play filter effects so you can discard him if you don’t need him, or discard songs so you can play him out. The stats are really good if you can play him as low as 4 cost!

5 lore is amazing but chances are you won’t get 5 characters on the board. Your opponent will try their best to narrow your board so you will find it hard to keep the board wide enough to play her. She will be very hard to set up for the 5 lore, might as well spend the efforts on 2 characters that adds up to 5 lore.

A 3 strength 4 willpower 2 lore Princess. Works in a princess Queen deck if you can play her at turn 2 !

Searching mechanic is great in the card. Perhaps a 2 cost Minnie and then Shift into this when you need a character card badly. Inkable so you can ink her if you need to.

The perfect 1 drop for an Amber decks! Daisy at 1 cost provides 2 lore and 4 Willpower! The effect feels like giving your opponent an extra card but you might filter away actions, locations or items so it’s not always guaranteed to add cards to their hand! Most rush decks just run 4 copies of her.

Locations are currently not often played, but a racer deck might be possible and he can give you that extra 1 card.

This is a good card for a princess deck. Shift 2 can be easily triggered at turn 2 and each time you play a princess you can reduce all Opposing character’s strength by 1. This makes challenging easier or vulnerable to Under The Sea!

Alan is a good card for a Song deck, just play songs and gain the lore, simple as that.

For 7 cost to return only 1 card from your discard feels expensive. He has great stats but uninkable so you might be stuck with him for a while. His effect is also not amazing for you to save up for it.

Maid Marian has 1 good effect to reduce strength of an opposing character when played, if you really wanted to, maybe 1 copy in a Princess deck for you to potentially play her out early.

Sven is a great support card for your Rush deck! Quest with them and play Sven to ready them so they cannot be challenged! He also provides 2 lore. Perhaps 2 is enough for mid game.

Healing is fine and Minnie does have high Willpower so she essentially can heal herself. Might be a bit slow for a rush deck since she is a turn 4 play, but not unplayable.

Our first Amber Song. Removing damage is fine and readying them is nice but I rather play Sven Reindeer Steed to ready my characters instead. Rush deck probably don’t have 4 coster to sing this for you to play for free also.

3 cost to draw 1 card and remove 4 damage seems good but for Amber, it’s pretty redundant, you want to use your turn to quest, healing won’t do the job for most of your characters since they have low willpower.

If you have 5 ink, then play 5 cost worth of characters rather than playing a 5 cost uninkable action to play a 5 cost character from your discard pile. I hope I am making sense. Will be perfect if this is a song.

Unless a character is dominating the meta that you will play multiple of them and they somehow end up in your discard pile, if not, singing a 6 cost song or hard casting it just to retrieve that back does not make sense.

Be my guest from set 9 exists, but if you have almost all character cards in your deck, then this card makes sense. You want to ensure you add both cards into your hand from its effect.

Healing at this stage is not as effective. Rather use the 2 ink to play characters or action that helps you do something.

A great item for a Princess Queen deck. 2 ink for potentially 1 lore every turn is great. You can also use the effect to search for more Princesses or Queens when you have extra ink to do so.

I think Locations are not as common, but this is one good location for a rush deck since you increase the character’s Willpower. 8 Willpower so it forces your opponent to try to take it down instead of challenging your characters.

Setting up Pride Lands’ combo will take some time. probably turn 1 and 2 to drop your characters, turn 3 to play this, turn 4 to put 2 of them into the location and turn 5 to activate the effect. It does provide you 1 lore so nothing bad, just that once you start putting characters inside and there is a high cost character in your discard pile, expect your opponent to take it down almost immediately. It’s niche but when it works, you are gonna have a good laugh.

Shift Maleficent has great stats, but she is 8 cost uninkable and even if you can shift 6, her effect requires you to have multiple Maleficent to make the best of it. Even so, it only bounces 3 cost characters which I feel for a 8 drop it’s a bit underwhelming.

Outclassed by Belle Accomplished Mystic, Nokk is higher cost yet only moves 2 damage counter.

Cogsworth can be a sleeper character, for only 1 cost, he provides Rush to a character, even himself! You can definitely catch an opponent off guard.

Filtering cards right from a 4 drop seems alright but not the best way to use your resources. There are better ways to do so. Stats is alright though.

Simple 3 cost character with 2 lore and Evasive, however, with so many 2 damage and above action and effects, you might not be able to sneak the questing.

I feel that if you want to play a banish and draw a card combo, 4 drop is too much of a cost. Evasive and 2 lore so not terrible.

If you want to play a 4 drop with high stats, we have a lot of characters to do so, giving your opponent that 1 card feels wrong. He is also not that massive for his stats to award your opponent with the 1 card.

Gale can potentially bounce back to your hand, but only if it’s banished during a challenge. With only 2 Willpower and 1 strength, it’s easy to banish without challenging if your opponent doesn’t want to let it bounce back to your hand.

A vanilla card with 3 strength 4 willpower is decent but not the best use of 3 cost.

One of the best card now! Madam Mim allows you to bounce back 1 character, so you can play it again. She also has massive Willpower and is able to transfer her damage to another opposing character. A staple for Amethyst, now is to see if you want to play 2 to 4 copies in your deck.

Luisa has massive Willpower, the only issue is that she is 6 cost uninkable. Might be a bit risky to hold in hand till the late game.

Don’t sleep on Shift Anna, you are able to shift her at turn 4 and then immediately exert all opposing character so you can get ready to challenge them! The uninkable is annoying, so if you want to be more consistent, 6 cost Demona from set 10 feels better.

Getting Shift Archimedes out early can be a good thing as he can challenge with 4 strength or gives you 2 lore. Evasive and 4 Willpower so not easy to banish. You definitely need a 2 drop Archimedes to pair them up.

Another staple in an Amethyst deck. Elsa has Rush, is able to exert an opposing character upon played and Evasive. She can change the dynamic of the game on the turn she’s played. All hail the true queen.

Genie is another sleeper character that can throw your opponent off guard. 7 cost is hard to farm, but once you play him, your opponent will be worried because that might be the last time they exert their characters! He keeps a lot of things in check and your opponent will feel the pressure to take him down. I think 1 copy is enough because he is 7 cost and uninkable…

If your opponent has a lot of exerted character, you can play him as low as 0 cost, but that also means you might be in trouble. Uninkable so you have no control on when you can play him, your opponent has to exert enough characters and you to have enough ink to play him. All the set up might seem too tedious for 1 Olaf.

Maleficent is a good support card. When she quests, you can discard 1 card to bounce back a 3 cost or below character, even yours. You can stop an opponent from winning or reuse a card of yours. Expect your opponent to challenge her the moment she is exerted to prevent you using anymore value of her. Anyway 2 lore so possible to provide some aggression on her end.

A vanilla Monstro is nice but 5 cost for that stats feels expensive.

Magica can block discard effects, with so much discarding nonsense, no harm putting her to block those effects! 2 copies is nice.

A simple 2 cost character with 2 lore, excellent choice for a low cost Maleficent or early game rush.

Rafiki is fun, that Rush with Challenger 4 can destroy a lot of characters when he is played. Lacks Evasive, if not I think he would be great. Uninkable so don’t pack too many copies.

Anna can exert an opposing character too, but your opponent can choose the character instead. Uninkable too and lacks other keyword. I think just play Elsa Fifth Spirit for consistent exerting.

King of Hearts can prevent a character from being readied, but you need a turn to trigger after he is played. That being said he can stop a character from readying, which could stall one more turn in some situation.

Camilo is a sleeper card, he can potentially quest a lot, depending on the character he chose. He can also bounce back one of your characters, remember to quest with them first before playing Camilo!

A great action card to give extra strength to a character and draw a card. Great card to support an Amethyst deck!

Drawing 3 cards for 5 cost is excellent. On a turn where you are leading, this is a great way to boost your hand to recharge. Inkable too, so you can ink it if you don’t intend to use it!

This has so much luck factor, you can play or sing it to shuffle a card into your deck and pray that the revealed card has the same name. It’s also one key card for the Mobby Dick combo with set 8 Monstrous.

Gain 2 lore, that’s it, when all else fails, gain the lore and you might seal the game with it.

An underrated card that can allow a character to gain enough strength to banish someone and if they are banished during the challenge you can bounce them back to hand. Very niche play, since Madam Mim Elephant can do the same.

Item are not that common, you are essentially spending 3 cost to bounce something but limited to 3 cost and below so might not be able to counter too many stuff.

The effect itself is decent, however the cost to play the card is ridiculous. 6 cost and uninkable makes it so hard to play.

This is a great card for a rush deck, simply use it to increase cards in hand and keep your steam rolling! Don’t worry about the card to your opponent, if you can close the game early, it doesn’t matter how many cards he/she has.

A decent location to prevent a character from readying. Provides 1 lore each turn as well. However They Never come back from Set 8 feels like a more consistent way to do so, expect your opponent to take this down after the turn you play.

A great location for some decks to have more drawing effect. Simply put characters here and then if they are banished, you get to draw more cards. Provides 1 lore each turn and high Willpower as well.

Robin Hood is playable, you just have to time the damage. Simply assign damage and he gets cheaper to play, essentially being played for free. Uninkable so maybe 1 in your deck is enough. Has Ward and 4 lore and great stats so worth your effort.

Shenzi has Evasive so not too bad, he is best at challenger damaged character so he gets 4 strength instead. Feels suited only for certain deck.

Little John has same issue as Nala, however the difference is he is the cheapest Little John should you need to shift him from.

Zazu feels costly for his stats and Evasive.

Ulf cannot sing, because his is a Mime. That being said, he is a decent card with high strength and 2 lore. Might come in handy.

Ed is another Hyena, however the effect is hard to trigger since you can only damage damaged character. Uninkable and at 3 cost, I don’t feel comfortable playing him.

Flora has higher strength when being challenged, but providing only 1 lore, she doesn’t pose too much of a threat so your opponent might just let him do her thing.

MerryWeather although at 1 cost, can be played at later turn to give extra strength to a character by paying 1 ink! This definitely can come in handy. Definitely an underrated fairy.

A decent character that potentially can provide you an extra lore. Not hard to have an opposing damaged character if they started challenger or you challenged them after they quest. One of the cheapest Robin Hood so will use him for the shifting also.

Fauna has great Willpower but she is expensive at 5 cost. I hope more Fairy supports comes out in the future.

Iago is a great character to combo with action deck. He can help you play actions for 2 less after he quest, 2 costed actions are basically free. I think an action deck might work with him.

2 Cost 2 lore and 3 Strength is a great early game card for an Emerald Rush deck.

Ed has 3 lore, which your opponent will try not to let him quest. The effect can be annoying so characters with damage counters cannot challenged him, so they probably will use actions or other effects to banish him. Has potential.

Scroop can be a sleeper piece too, if your opponent is not careful, a simple 1 damage on a character in vulnerable to Scroop’s effect. Evasive too.

Dragons are not common, so the slayer ability might not come in handy. However, he can keep swinging characters down unless he slays them, 9 Willpower and after challenging a damaged character, he can ready himself to go for a challenge or quest for 3 lore or even sing! Pretty useful, just need to farm to 7 cost to play him.

The best Emerald card so far. Don’t worry about having little cards in hand, use Shift Clarabelle and select an opponent and you have as many cards as him/her! You can shift to a 1 or 3 drop Clarabelle too. She also has great stats.

Anna is so versatile, she is able to force your opponent to discard a card, add strength to a character or banished a damaged character. It’s a good turn 5 play for the effect, you can even play her without using the effect.

A good 1 drop if your Emerald deck decides to run Shift Clarabelle. The item destroyer can come in handy too.

The Hyenas have been targeting damaged character, but the exerting might not work in the early game, because they might already be exerted or just played, so you have no way to damage them.

Shift Robin Hood is always underrated, once there are enough damaged character, you can play him and gain more lore while questing!

2 Cost character with late game bounce effect is decent.

You can add more Clarabelle to your deck with this 3 drop. There’s a chance you drop a card from her effect.

A Hyena deck seems viable, you just need to drop Shenzi at turn 5 and then start attacking with Hyenas and gain lores. You will need source to deal damage first before the Hyenas start to vulture.

The stats are great for Shift Mother Gothel, however, your opponent gets to choose the character for her effect. I think 2 copies in a deck is fine, just shift into a lower cost Mother Gothel and start to quest.

Another support for challenging damaged character. Drawing when challenging is great. Don’t ever quest with scar, he has Ward so the last thing you need is to exert him.

A good support card that allows you to filter cards in your hands, simply draw 3 cards and put 2 back to your deck, it’s a simple yet effective card that is good any time.

Card Draw plus giving a character Reckless helps to stall 1 turn. Can come in handy.

This is a fantastic card that is criminally underrated. You can indirectly remove a character off the board, you can also use it on yourself to draw 2 cards. Either way it’s a song so you can sing it. Combos with Clarabelle Light on Her Hooves so your opponent gets 2 extra cards that you might benefit too.

It’s hard to get a turn where your opponent has a lot more cards than you in hand and you play this to replenish your hand. 4 Cost action and uninkable makes this hard to get great value.

This is a great hand control card that can throw your opponent’s guard off. However many cards they think they can draw, it’s all limited to 3. You can force them into top decking mode too with other’s discarding effects. You don’t even need Prince John, just play on turn 3 and your opponent will be affected.

Ward is a great keyword, so playing a 1 drop and then later on spend 2 ink to give someone Ward is not too bad, just not worth effort to do so.

This is a great card for Rush decks! You can play this item and once your characters are banish on your opponent’s turn, you can start bouncing characters, you can replay some of your characters or send his expensive characters back to hand. It forces them to be careful when banishing your characters.

A great location for Robin Hood, as for the others, you can pay 2 cost then pay 2 ink to send a characters here. They are able to deal 2 damage by paying 1 ink. It gives someone Ward too.

This combos well with the Hyenas as you force damaged opposing character to challenge instead of quest. 1 lore every turn too so not too bad, expect them to crack the location.

We are introduced the Racers for this set, Taffyta is a good 2 drop with 2 lore, so you can rush with your sugar rush deck.

Ralph can potentially gain lores just by readying. The idea is to exert him and find ways to have enough damage on him but no banishing him. That being said, expect your opponent to take him down or leave him as it is so you don’t gain the lore.

Maximus can be dangerous, with enough set up, having 10 strength for a character might not be hard. He is a 6 cost so you might need a while to set up. For now, I think the effect is not worth it for competitive play.

2 drop with Rush is great to stop aggressive decks. Racer as well so can fit in a Racer deck.

Donald can potentially have 9 Strength but your opponent must have 10 or more lore first. The other effect requires you to shift him so your opponent loses 2 lore. I think there is potential, but not much small cost playable Donald to use him effectively.

A 4 drop racer, but a Racer Rush deck shouldn’t be that high in cost, and only provides 1 lore and no text. I think there are better racers.

I never like cards that specially target 1 card in the game. I think it’s not really not worth saving 5 cost for the effect, unless a playable Mufasa is out of control in the meta.

3 drop Rush racer but have higher willpower. I think not too bad but uninkable and 2 strength might be a bit slow for a turn 3 drop.

Daisy is a simple character with Evasive, nothing too bad, just hard to synergised.

I love Mickey Mouse, but not this Mickey. Extra 2 strength is fine, but 4 drop with potentially 4 strength 4 willpower and 2 lore doesn’t feel amazing still.

Ratigan is fine, potentially 3 Strength as long as he has damage counters. Good to transfer some damage to him first to trigger the effect.

1 drop Racer is definitely good for the Racer deck. You might even reduce their lore.

Denahi has great strength but 5 cost and uninkable is not practical, given that he does not provide any effect.

Pete is expensive, but he is able to Banish an opposing character, the catch is you need another Pete in play. Hard to set up and you might not even have the effect when you play him.

A great Shift character, you can play him using Shift and then combos well with the Sugar Rush deck to gain 2 location first.

A great action support for Robin Hood. If you run a Ruby Song deck, he will definitely come in handy by allowing you to play a 6 cost or lesser action for free. He can also filter away some cards.

With enough damaged character, you can potentially play Gaston as little as 0 cost.

10 Strength with Rush can banish a lot of characters. Probably 1 or 2 in a Damage Transfer deck.

Pete has great Strength value for a 3 drop, however, he is outclassed by some other cards like Powerline with same stats but can do more.

Reckless is not a bad keyword, Arthur has very good stats for a 1 drop, too bad uninkable and we have Mulan from Set 9 with same stats and inkable.

Donald can help to control your opponent’s lore, but his strength isn’t that high so that’s a missed opportunity. Making your opponent lose lore is fine, but I rather you invest 3 cost on someone with can do much more.

Shifting Ratigan will be a more cost efficient move. You do need to play a lower cost Ratigan. At the same time he provides 3 lore with 5 Strength 5 Willpower and Evasive. You have to build around him to make good use of the stats.

Rush and Evasive can knock off most Evasive Characters. She is also a Racer and Princess. Uninkable so might not need 4 copies.

1 drop to provide extra 2 strength can make a lot of difference when challenging. Simba also swings with 2 strength. Uninkable but can fit in a Rush attacking deck.

Minnie can play around a bunch of Mickey, such that when a Mickey challenges another character, you gain 1 lore. It’s a bit niche but all it takes is a few Playable Mickeys and she can be good.

1 drop action to give Rush to a character, the damage counter might even benefit you. Can catch your opponent off guard.

An action that can potentially allows a character to challenge or sing twice. I think can be underrated. Only 2 cost and Inkable.

7 Cost is so hard to Sing, but this is definitely great for a Ruby Song deck and Singing with a high cost character while the others can quest or challenge, then ready everyone and can challenge or sing again!

4 Cost to banish one of yours and one of your opponent’s character seems like a good value. Can work in some deck to help get rid of some annoying characters. Probably 1 or 2 is enough as it is uninkable.

You can play a challenge deck with this action, your reckless character now can gain lore upon challenging. The extra 2 strength can also make a lot of difference.

A 1 Cost Item that can help to increase Strength. Might come in handy for the Strength boost.

Sword Release is an easy way to gain 1 lore and make your opponent lose 1 lore each turn. The catch is that you would need to have someone with higher strength than every opposing character. Might be hard to set up for the consistent lore gain.

1 drop to simply provide extra 1 Strength but a Ruby deck might not want to waste time with a mere 1 strength increase.

A great location for the Racer deck, simple put a character here, then deal then 1 damage and then go to the Finishing Line to gain lore and draw cards!

2 drop location and potentially can gain 2 lore every turn if you have a damaged character here. Not hard to set up but your opponent will surely destroy this location upon seeing it.

A simple 1 drop with 2 Strength 2 Willpower. Both Villain and Racer and the cheapest shift target.

Chaca is nice for 2 lore, but 4 drops vanilla for Sapphire doesn’t add to much value for competitive play.

If the Queen Gimmick ever returns to Meta, this might be something you can consider, else for 1 lore 0 strength and only getting Ward doesn’t feels like much she can do.

A great 4 drop on turn 3 if you manage to ramp on turn 2. A 5 Strength 5 Willpower is sturdy enough to challenge and can stay on the board longer, while providing 2 lore if needed to.

Supposed you can play 3 Items per turn, he is very valuable for challenge, but I don’t think I want to keep a space in my deck for him just for the Strength boost, feels like I can do more with Item decks.

I don’t think providing resist to only Arthur is worth the 4 drop.

Pacha is very underrated. All you need is 1 location and 1 item on turn 1 and 2, and you drop Pacha and get the 2 lore every turn. He also quest for 2 lore so can potentially catch your opponent off guard.

Queen is great if you have more Queen. Shifting is also easier if your deck has a lot of The Queen. This copy can have very high lore if you have enough The Queen in your board.

I tried to set this up before, it’s so painful because he is uninkable, and you need to put a lot of items as possible for him to be played at lower cost. 4 lore is nice, support is great too, just need a lot of effort to pull off.

Chica allows you to draw each time you ramp twice in a turn. I don’t dislike it, but if need to ramp, turn 2 is the turn to do so, and you can use other effects to draw, which can trigger easily without ramping twice.

This is a good stapler for an item deck, simply tap it to play an item of cost 5 or less for free. Expect him to be targeted after you land the hit effect. Do use him to play a 5 cost from discard if possible, if not it doesn’t make sense to use his effect.

If you use her, you really need to play all Queen deck so you can draw more of then. Uninkable and Ward so not too bad. Can be your source of draw.

Kuzco at 6 drop has relative lower stats, he can help to get rid of an item or location , however too expensive for item and location counter and the 4 ink to give resist is not cheap too.

I feel like Mufasa don’t get the credit he is due. The moment you play him, you can get back 2 cards from your inkwell and what is amazing is that on your next turn when he quest, you can ready your inkwell so you can essentially play more cards next turn! He is a game changer and 8 cost in a Sapphire deck is not hard to trigger, probably 1 or 2 copy is enough.

5 drop with 3 lore is nothing bad, can be a turn 3 or 4 play.

1 drop to reduce a character’s strength is not too bad. Uninkable so probably not too many copies unless you are running an Inventor deck.

1 drop inkable and Support with 2 strength is by far the best 1 drop supporting character ever. The extra strength can stop aggro decks and can allow efficient trades and in the late game can cause a lot of difference as well! Solid 1 drop!

A good way to shift your 1 drop King Candy to a stronger character and also allows you to boost your hand. Shift 3 is an awkward position as you want to play a 4 cost on your turn 3, but can fit in well in some decks.

A 5 drop character that allows more ramp, you can play your 7 cost way faster or even keep the cards in your hand and use Donald to ink for you this turn. Inkable too so can use him whenever necessary.

Surprise to see healing characters in Sapphire, but 2 drop to heal can be an Amber thing and you want to focus on Ramping with Sapphire. Not terrible just doesn’t fit well with Blue.

Your best ramp card out there. Turn 2 play and you can ink anything, even uninkable with Tipo. Inkable as well so great ramp card for any Sapphire deck.

Ward is always an underrated keyword, Belle gives your other characters Ward till your next turn so nothing bad. You can get her out as fast as turn 3 and rush with other Princess and she gives them Ward to protect.

Merlin is nice, search mechanic in the game is powerful because they are so rare. It’s a turn 4 or 5 play and you can search for any card to either gain back control or keep your momentum. High Willpower as well. Just need a lower cost Merlin to kick start.

One of the best Filter card in the game. From the 5 cards, it’s almost easier to get the card you need, can be used on turn 2 or even late game to search for that one crucial card to turn the tide.

Banishing your precious Item to draw cards and this card being Uninkable feels really awkward if you don’t wish to play it yet.

2 Cost song to remove damage is not bad. Feels like Sapphire deck don’t really need to heal, the 2 drop can be used to fire up your engine.

This card can work both ways, you can use it to banish your opponent’s item or location, you can also use against your own stuff to get that ramp. Maybe 1 copy to fight Item decks, can ink it if you don’t see items in your opponent’s play.

1 cost card but acts as a form of ramp, you can put a low cost character that you no longer need into your inkwell and you can do this in mid game to ramp faster.

One of the Item that can win you the game. Simply play it and use it with 2 ink to give someone 2 extra lore and that might allow you to win the game. It’s a cheesy way to win, don’t bet too much on it, probably 1 or 2 copies is enough. Inkable anyway.

Unless you are playing an item deck, this item will not be useful. 2 ink to search for an item can come in handy, but why not just play items that allow draw instead.

This is one of the high end Item that an item deck would need, if you can play this for free, it would be perfect. You can banish items and bring them back.

This is also another Item deck card where you banish items to gain lore. Could be consistent for some item decks that prefer to rush.

For Support characters to gain extra lore is nice, but the location cost is not cheap and the cost to enter is not cheap as well. The effort to bring that extra lore you could just bring another character into the field.

This card is fun, I mean it’s only 1 cost and inkable, so you can play it and everyone reveals the top card of their deck. It’s like everyone can see each other’s card in hand and it makes surprise play less common. Your opponent would be annoyed when this card is out.
