We kick things off with the Nephews. Louie is okay for a 3 drop to provide 2 lore, the -1 can come in handy since he needs to be challenged by a 4 Strength to be banished. Still actions can take him down.

A 4 drop with his stats is fine, just nothing else to get from him.

Huey can be played in some deck to provide the -1 cost so it’s easier to play them put. Expect him to be challenged as he provides a lot of value in the early game. I think 2 drop for the cost reduce is a bit slow compared to Lanterns or Pluto.

Our first Legendary and Goofy is a great card to heal your characters and also ready them, feel free to challenge with them and they can be healed by him, might need the right set up but can be useful to ready them.

4 drop to search for any card is nice, but his low Willpower means you will most likely get to use this effect once before he is banished. The search engine is fine, just feels like you have to force it out after singing a song.

Body is a decent Bodyguard, 8 Willpower is nice and her strength can increase to as high as 7. Can be used in a Racer Rush or Song Rush deck.

Ludwig is an underrated card in Amber Sapphire! The ability to cause your opponent to discard an action of your choice can be lethal and damage their momentum! He can also enters into your inkwell upon banished so more ink for you. At 2 drop he already provides his full value to you.

1 drop princess with 3 Willpower is decent.

Tiana can help you to reduce strength for you to do some Cheesy combo. Singer 6 too so not too bad for a 4 drop.

1 drop to cheat in that 1 lore can come in handy. A smaller shift target too.

A perfect card for Rush deck! Simply play her and you get to play a 2 drop or less for FREE! She has 2 lore as well and such a great game early on to flood the board1

2 drop Bodyguard with 4 willpower and inkable is a nice touch to protect your previous lore providers.

Healing is nice, using a 1 drop Gene to heal can come in handy.

2 Drop Perdita is a good lower cost for her shift. Potentially 5 Willpower too for a puppy deck.

1 drop Rhino is a good shift target, he also can reduce Strength of an opposing character that can make it so much harder to challenge your characters!

5 drop to cheat in that 2 lore can cause you to win the game, so nothing bad.

5 drop for a character with potentially 5 Strength 3 lore is a bit expensive for a Rush deck and you need a lot of Puppies to make this work, I mean if you have a lot of puppies you are winning.

Chief Bogo plays around Bodyguard and it’s a High Roll play where your opponent Banished your Bodyguards and he can RNG a character into play. For 6 drop I do expect more and the free character is only 5 drop or less and it must be the top card reveal, this would super hard to pull off.

I think 2 Strength Bodyguard is nice to protect your characters with high lore, when banished allows you to draw a card as well. Decent pig in the early game, if anyone is playing Amber Amethyst, this is worth considering.

Shift 5 Bruno is decent, you can sing with him and draw as many cards as the characters you have. Probably a good way to boost your hand. Unkinable so you have to be stuck with him for a few rounds and shift onto a smaller Bruno. A lot of dependencies to pull him off.

A decent way to control your opponent with a -2 Strength and let them gain Reckless. I think 4 drop uninkable is too heavy for Lemon Lime Rush, and the effects can be replicated through other means. I mean it does provides 2 lore so not too bad.

A good support piece for your Lemon Lime Rush. Just shift onto 2 drop Tramp and then that 8 Willpower is so hard to banish and if your opponent banished your characters, you get to draw cards too. Great too add to the deck!

3 Drop for the stats is fine and can retrieve back Racers from the discard pile. Inkable too so not too terrible for a Racer Rush.

7 Drop and retrieving back a Racers from your discard pile feels expensive, I mean shift 5 to play him early and the retrieve effect can gain lore so not terrible. Just feels a bit of set up to do to make him work, might as well rush through the finishing line.

1 drop Puppy with Ward and 2 lore is perfect.

A good way to ramp with your Amber Sapphire, doesn’t necessary need to play a Puppy deck, that free ramp is good enough.

If you play around a Puppy Deck, Perdita can be the big Ink burst you can find, once she is played, you can put all the Puppies into your inkwell and start to ramp or Pongo to use his effect.

6 drop for Amber Steel is so expensive and no Bodyguard no Resist, the Support is unnecessary since the deck doesn’t really want to challenge. Too expensive for it’s own good.

Bolt has that 4 lore, which can be very dangerous. You just need a way to Bodyguard him or ready him. He can be challenged easily at turn 3 onwards, but if you manage to sneak in the 4 lore, he has done his job.

The perfect card for Amber Steel. For one, it has Resist while it has no damage and your opponent would need someone with 5 Strength to banish it entirely. It’s also a turn 2 play to Shift from the smaller Rhino and then either challenge, sing or quest!

Antonio is not a character I would see play, which means no reason to play his Jaguar for that 1 lore. 2 drop is nice, but spend the ink for something better.

6 drop Bodyguard in an Amber deck is expensive, unless you are doing some highroll cheesy play. Otherwise, no reason to play her.

Your staple card for Amber Emerald. Lady not only can quest for 3 lore, but is able to pump up her strength so high up that she is able to hit a beefy character! Versatile and only 1 drop and Inkable, what more could you ask for.

Amber Amethyst relies on song, so not surprised to see Alma and her effect. The sing effect is nice, so your characters can sing songs then ready from her effect so they can quest or challenge. Pretty okay, just need to set up for the turn 6 play.

3 drop with Bodyguard, 2 lore and Singer 4 is decent. Might not even want to keep him in Bodyguard position so he can go for the 2 lore next turn.

I don’t hate the effect, just that in any Amber decks you usually have 1 Bodyguard, so for 3 drop to heal only Bodyguards is not something I would need in most gameplay.

This is a very Cheesy play where you have to play the Piggy Bank to make him cheaper. You can use other characters to draw cards for you though so you will always have cards in hand, not too bad though, just too expensive for 8 drop.

More Dalmatian for your Puppy decks if you need, please don’t put 99 in your deck.

2 drop to draw a card is decent, you can use it on a low drop character for the sudden boost. A Racer deck can have 1 or 2 inside just for those with Rush.

Healing for 1 drop is fine, might come in handy, but limited to Amber Steel.

A nice bounce card for Lemon Lime, they should be able to reduce opponent’s strength. You can retrieve back a card from discard too. 4 drop is expensive, so maybe 1 copy is enough, since you will be rushing most of the time.

An expensive song to sing but can come in very handy to revive all your previously banished character. Sing together makes it easier too. That cost reduction works even if the characters are not the one you retrieve from the discard.

A low drop song to reduce Strength of a character so they are unlikely to banish any of your characters. Can come in handy.

You need a cheap Donald Duck to pull this off so you can play this for 1 drop to play the 8 drop Donald for way lesser. The Item is uninkable and the effect is nice but too much effort to set up.

A perfect 1 drop for most Amethyst deck. 1 drop for 4 Willpower is very beefy and Vanish is a good keyword to bait out actions so they overlooked the higher cost illusion.

4 Drop for a 5 Strength Character is decent, very beefy Willpower as well.

Decent card for Damage transfer deck, you can deal 2 damage so you can use it to transfer those damage or basically just use it to bounce a 2 drop. She can value add so nothing bad.

Hades is another support card for the Damage Transfer deck. You can use him for the draw engine. 7 drop uninkable is a bit ridiculous, I think there are better drawing effects.

3 drop Evasive and can ping 1 damage is nice, can come in handy to take down some pesty characters.

Abu can quest high as long as your opponent has someone with high lore. 6 drop is expensive, you do need Jafar to bring him out for free. Vanish is risky though so don’t play him out in case a 1 drop action takes him out.

I believe this is cheapest Bruno for the shift. A decent to prevent a character from readying, most likely use him for the shift and that’s about it.

Another 1 drop that is great in most Amethyst deck, as long as he draw cards, he will get stronger and he can take down some Beefy characters in any phase of the game.

4 drop to bounce a 2 drop feels okay at best, the stats is not that great for his cost though.

Megara needs Hades to swing hard, but we see a lot of Hades in Blurple so can be considered.

A great way to pump up someone’s Strength and provides 2 lore, can come in handy.

4 drop for only Evasive is expensive. I mean why not just play a Genie.

2 drop for 3 Strength can come in handy.

3 Drop for the stats is decent at best.

3 Drop for 4 Strength can be considered.

Elsa can be a source to exert opposing characters. As long as you got cards to discard, she can exert characters for you.

Pinocchio can be your consistent draw engine, 4 Willpower with Evasive is nice, 2 lore as well so nothing bad overall.

Jiminy counters Rush, so can use him to Stall cards like Elsa Fifth Spirit.

Bambi can help to gain lore and then that freaking 3 lore can really catch your opponent offguard. However, 1 Willpower only so actions can take him out easily. I won’t risk pulling him off.

An underrated card that once he is on board, can help you wipe the board as long as you have cards in hand. 2 copies in your deck is enough and inkable too so nothing bad.

Nero is a bit weird, you want to get damage so you will challenge using him, then you have to wait for 1 more turn to transfer that 1 damage on him to an opposing character. Your opponent might just challenged him.

5 cost and uninkable just o bounce 1 card to draw 1 card feels bit underwhelmed.

Kuzco is great, best is to shift him early and then get rid of a character. Great stats and 2 lore as well and can help you to song high cost songs!

6 drop to search for Wrong Level is super gimmicky and also waste of resoruces, I mean if this is a shift ability then it’s not too bad, but no, hard cast 6 ink just to search for 1 action…

6 drop for the stats is nice, just shift onto the 2 drop Madam Mim and then use this Beefy stats to your advantage! Remember to keep 1 card for the bounce.

Mother Gothel helps with the damage transfer deck for that 2 damage and Challenger 1. Still I think not much value for the damage transfer deck, so just use someone else.

2 drop Evasive and Support is nice. I mean just these 2 keywords is good enough.

Anna is a nice support characters for Blurple since most have Elsa. She can provide the support of 3 Strength and also quest when Elsa is around to draw 1 card. Probably need a smaller Anna to shift from.

Play Sultan in the late game where after questing with your Illusions, you exert your opposing characters so you can challenge them down. 1 copy is enough since he is uninkable and make sure you get all the value on the turn you play him since he is the first target for Vanish.

The Jafar that supports the Illusion deck. After questing he can summon an Illusion so all is well.

5 drop to keep getting bounced feels very unnecessary. I think there are ways to spend the 5 drop better. Nice stats though but not what we need in a 5 drop.

3 drop for filter is not bad so you can draw in a better card.

5 drop for a challenge turn is not worth the effort. Would be good if this is a song.

A great card to stall 2 opposing characters and get 1 card.

This is not easy to pull off, sure it’s fun to sing with 9 characters to get 9 card and 9 lore, but it’s really not worth the set up. Uninkable too and there is nothing you can use before the set up,

A great card for Amethyst Emerald to get 2 cards in the early game. Can use the discard effect if you are controlling down your opponent’s hand.

Perfect Song for Blurple. Only 3 drop and it’s a song to eliminate an opposing character. You can even do on your own for the 1 extra ramp.

Great for damage transfer deck. Super cool to heal all your characters and then just travel it one opposing character.

2 drop to retrieve an illusion is nice so they can cheat in things like Giant Cobra.

2 drop item to counter another item. Can exert an opposing character too.

3 drop vanilla card is alright, though we do have the expect more from the card.

Excellent control card, when you drop him, you are looking to control your opponent’s board and hand, when played, he bounces a character and later on disrupts your opponent’s hand. Great for Emerald Sapphire since 7 drop is no issue for them.

3 drop Ward can aid in a Lemon Lime deck, however, 3 drop is a bit heavy for what he does, maybe 1 or 2 copies if you really want to use.

4 drop to give Reckless can be disruptive but only if Tippo is in play which makes it so hard to get the trigger. Tippo is common but still not consistent.

2 drop Evasive is decent, can combo with Dumbo.

1 drop for potential evasive, nothing bad, but why not just play a 1 drop evasive directly, lesser efforts too.

4 drop to deal 2 damage is okay but what sucks is he only damage damaged character… I think 4 drop is too heavy for this.

3 drop for 2 lore and item destroyer is fine. Can keep 1 or 2 copies just in case.

3 drop at best for 4 Strength 4 Willpower is fine, but requires Don Karnage, too much effort for something simple.

1 Drop for 3 Willpower will come in handy, cheapest Dale for your Shift as well.

Amazing control card, 3 drop to give someone Reckless and with his high Strength, it may force someone to challenge this character and banishes them! Great move for early game to get rid of their support or rush pieces!

3 Drop for 6 Willpower can be very useful for certain decks, 3 Strength as well.

Chip for 4 drop is expensive to only discard 1 card.

This is a great card to Shift Fred into. A good way to filter out your Floodborn characters, even if the filter doesn’t work, he is a 7 cost with 3 lore, so nothing bad to shift into.

4 Drop to potentially drop a card is fine, but the Willpower is lore. At least she provides 2 lore, if not this will be terrible.

A great way to ready your characters in the late game for them to quest, challenge or sing again, very powerful once you are in the late game!

5 drop with Evasive and 2 lore is great. She can stop an opposing character from questing, making them slow down their questing. Very controlling and not easy to challenge as well.

Flynn essentially gives you 3 lore, when he is challenged, your opponent has to discard a card too, so nothing bad.

The Wonderland deck plays on having characters with damage counter, putting 1 directly into them can banish characters or weakened them, which is nice. Just that it is dual ink, so very restrictive to the deck.

I think the issue now is that there are no 2 drop Emerald or Ruby Alice for her to shift from. She can deal AOE damage counter so you can start triggering the damage effects.

I think she can potentially quest for 6 lore, will take some effort but doable. She will be the win condition so expect your opponent to try to take her out.

A lower cost Hiro for your Shift Hiro to Shift from. The ability is nice too, you can exert him to ready a Floodborn character so they do more stuff this turn.

Go Go is a great card but you need to shift the smaller 2 drop Gogo from. 4 drop shift to put a chosen character into the Inkwell is such a great removal effect. Evasive too so nothing bad.

Don Karnage plays the Emerald Steel action combo, so this is workable if you can play actions and force your opponent to challenge into things like 1 drop Fred or Cursed Merfolk. 2 Willpower is dangerously low but at least he has Evasive.

It’s not hard to Shift Captain Hook, 1 drop Captain Hook is very common. You can revolve around the Emerald Steel pirate to provide them with Resist and Extra Strength so they can survive a challenge! Even for a 3 drop the stats are great.

6 drop is nice for the effect and provides 3 lore as well. 2 damage can clean sweep the board and the item or location destroyer can come in handy. Maybe 1 copy is enough as you want to focus on songs.

A great support for the Emerald Sapphire deck where you start shifting your characters and she starts bouncing your opponent’s character.

4 drop to potentially cheat in 2 lore is nice, can be considered in a Lemon Lime deck for that unexpected win.

3 drop for item counter is nice, 2 lore as well and can help filter your hand.

3 drop action to banish an item might not come in handy, maybe can consider 1 card for an Emerald Steel deck in case you need to banish an item, if not can just ink it.

8 drop song but inkable and can be sung together is a great bounce card for some decks. You can use this to bounce your opponent or simply bounce yours to trigger an effect again.

A great card for Emerald in general to bounce a card, can be used in Emerald Amethyst to remove a character instead after you combo with Pull the Lever.

2 drop for discarding effect is okay, just that it’s not a song and the combo can’t work with Emerald Steel because of the Ruby part…

3 drop for a Pirate Emerald Steel deck can work. You can put 1 or 2 of this action and when the time is right, use your Pirates to banish damaged character and do some board wipe!

The extra Strength from the item is nice, but limited to your Shift characters, I think most Shift characters have enough Strength to take out anyone, so the boost is an overkill…

An unorthodox way to ramp, you can consider this in an Emerald Sapphire deck where you let your opponent challenged your character and then you get ramp.

More Racers for your Racer Rush deck, Gloyd’s ability is alright but the cost is very heavy, might want to focus on the other racers instead.

6 Drop for the stats is alright, a bit too expensive to farm till 6 only for a Vanilla card.

3 Drop for Evasive is fine, however, the effect might come in handy but since it’s a dual ink card I do expect a lot more, I mean when you drop him you can’t even Rush with him and the reduction last only until your turn ends…

2 Drop for Evasive is nice, 3 Strength as well, both Princess and Racer so nothing too bad. Can banish a Dumbo.

4 drop for the Strength is nice, the lore gain can come out of nowhere, but for 4 drop to get 2 lore after banish and needs to trigger the condition feels tiresome.

3 drop for potentially 5 Strength is alright, just need time to set up which might not be worth the effort.

4 drop Alice can ready a character, but the limitation is so annoying. 2 lore at least, can be the shift target, just hope the cost was lower.

2 drop for 2 lore is great, can get away with the Evasive as well and not hard to trigger, just need an item in your discard!

4 drop to boost strength is fine, but at the expense of an item which is too much effort for the 2 Strength, his stats is alright at best too.

A great way to give Rush to your character! This can be super devasting for anyone that drops in your turn so your opponent will be very passive after seeing him on board.

4 drop for potentially 3 lore, possible to set up.

5 Drop for the 7 Strength is dope. Can make use of him in some decks.

3 drop for item counter is decent, but most usable items are okay to be exerted which does not impact them. Maybe next time this will get stronger.

2 drop for a Damage boost that can come anyway is great. Can cause some wary for your opponent before they exert their characters.

3 drop to boost only Racers is very limited, you might want to rush with Racers instead of boosting Strength. The 4 Strength is nice though.

A great card for your heavy hitters, simply play them and then boost their strength to get the 2 lore!

Lilo is a great card for Action heavy decks. Once you play 3 actions, you can play her for FREE! She can also ready character upon play and provides 2 lore and 4 Strength 4 Willpower! Inkable too in case you don’t have the trigger.

Probably more useful in an item deck, anyway the effect probably will be used once before your opponent banished him.

Shifting Lumiere at turn 3 is the best or just hard cast him. Evasive too and potentially can keep boosting up the lore after you banished an item.

2 drop to gain 4 Strength and Evasive is nothing bad.

Challenging Ready character will always be useful. Mulan also has Evasive on your turn, so someone you can use to control the board.

Shift Mushu is great for a challenger deck so when they are played, Mushu gives them Rush, Reckless and Evasive so they can challenge upon played. You can always quest next turn.

3 drop to draw 1 card upon banish is a bit slow, the stats isn’t fantastic to make up for this too.

2 drop for 2 lore is always nice.

Potential for a 3 lore from a 4 drop that has Evasive and 4 Willpower. Can perform in some decks.

A great 3 drop with 5 Strength and Willpower! Good for damage control deck because you have someone who stacks damage for you to transfer.

A great song to sing together, then challenge and ready them, you can challenge again.

6 drop to banish a character is decent, just limited to Ruby Sapphire. Possible to return an item card back, which is nice if it does. Maybe 1 or 2 copies is enough, you don’t want to flood your starting hand with this.

A low key good card that can catch your opponent off guard. 1 drop to deal damage is nice. Probably add in if you need more indirect damage effect other than fire the canon or Strength of Raging Fire.

Evasive is a good keyword and 1 drop inkable card to provide them with it can come in handy.

7 drop card can help you close the game and also banish a chosen character. Uninkable but can keep 1 copy if you want to try pull this off. I think there is potential, Maui Shark can keep taking this card back as well.

1 drop item to keep readying a character is great, you can make them challenge or sing again!

4 Drop with 6 Willpower is decent, but 4 drop Sapphire cards really need to do a lot other than just vanilla card.

3 drop to give everyone else support is fine, but I think 4 drop Alice does the work just as well and more consistent.

3 drop to support Puppies with Resist, however I think you are fine without this card since she doesn’t have the puppy keyword to trigger most things.

1 drop with 2 Strength is nice, can reduce opponent’s strength to let other characters quest with peace. Not too bad.

3 drop to ramp is nice, just need a 2 drop Elsa to be in play to ramp faster. She provides 2 lore as well so can be an extra ramp card.

5 drop just for support is not the best use of the ink. Support for 3 seems a bit low for his cost too.

2 drop Gogo allows you to Shift a Baymax or Gogo on her and then ramp up. Potential fit for a floodborn deck.

Wardrobe allows you to discard an item card to draw 2 cards, more consistent just in case you don’t need that item. That being said, do expect your opponent to take her out once you exert him out,.

Mrs Potts instead banishes your item for 1 card, but she needs to be exerted as well, too much effort for 1 card draw.

1 drop Jasmine is always great for any Shift Jasmine to shift from. The Resist can come in handy too.

Little Sister does some healing for 1 drop but I think not much Sapphire plays on healing.

2 drop vanilla with the stats is alright, just probably not in a Sapphire deck.

4 Drop to give a character Resist when she uses the tap ability, the second part will come in handy, just a lot of abilities but doesn’t equate to value for your board state.

Stitch can be played out early, just need to find a way to put him in your discard then discard an inkable card to play her for free. Do note that the penalty exists regardless of how you play him. Helping your opponent to ramp for this card is very risky, you might get a bit of advantage early on, but expect your opponent to catch up in 3 to 4 turns and that 1 extra ink might punish you.

Ratigan for 8 drop seems hard to cast, but Sapphire decks won’t have an issue. Has Ward 7 Willpower and provides 4 lore so nothing bad for his cost. You just need to ink every turn after he is in play.

King Arthur can combo well with the Ally. For 4 drop he has a crazy stats so can take down a lot of characters and provides 3 lore. There are combo to work with him so you don’t lose out in the trade.
