Baloo is so expensive for a Bodyguard, the support is fine but the stats and even the lore don’t justify a 6 drop. Even you play him for free it takes a while to set up just to play him. Not impactful enough for the investment.

Gaston is an interesting card, he blocks a character from challenging so you can use him against some prominent Challengers. Stats are good too so nothing bad, can aid your rush team.

Rapunzel is an amazing card. The Support can come in handy but can also prevent a character from taking damage the first time! You can use it offensively to survive a challenge or defensively since your opponent now need to damage that character twice! She is a princess too, so with Aurora’s help, she can be played at 1 cost!

6 drop for an ember card is a bit too high, plus no other effect to trigger even if you can play him for free. Not ideal but I like the stats, just not ideal to play competitively.

1 drop with the stats is nice, but not needed for Detective and also not rushing enough for an Amber deck.

A perfect Bodyguard! Rajah has good stats for a Bodyguard, anyone swinging into him will need to take the 3 damage and also 4 Willpower is no pushover! A standard Bodyguard for Amber decks!

1 drop for 2 Strength Support is such a great card! Plus, can be played at 0 with Aurora from Set 9. Can help your Amber guys to challenge as well and she herself can take down some early game characters.

A niche way to cheat in a lore to a Shift or Boost card, not bad and the stats are okay. A lower cost Scrooge for shift as well.

3 drop for the stats is alright but 2 lore makes her hard to banish in challenges in the early game, but the catch is you need a Boost or Shifted characters in play.

I don’t think Amber need much healing, and with only 1 lore, Gurgi won’t be in my top choice.

4 drop Bodyguard is not bad but only 2 Strength makes it hard to include in your deck solely because she can’t threaten the challenger as much.

3 drop for the stats is scary, for an Amber character standard so if you need some tough body and challenger, this is a good character to consider.

Shanti is a decent Singer, but for Amber Singer 5 is an awkward number since you are either going for 3/4 or 8. I don’t think she is worth 3 drops for the singing. At least not now.

3 drop for 2 lore is nice but being exerted feels like someone will challenge him. I rather use Rajar for the Bodyguard and use others to quest.

5 drop for the stats and Support is expensive for Amber and he only helps you retrieve back Hen Wen which is so limited…

I think if you want to be hyper aggressive, look no further, a 3 lore 2 drop is definitely aggressive enough. 2 copies is enough if you don’t want so much uninkable.

Ariel Whisper helps you to draw card once when you sang a song. Can be used for a Song deck for your draw engine.

Scrooge is a good way to Boost your Whispers immediately upon played, so they might trigger their effect almost immediately! You also save some ink from Boosting them. Can be considered in some deck with Whispers.

Jungle Boy is a fantastic card for Amber! You can make your opponent drop a non-character which they might be saving up to counter your team! You can also peek at their hand to see what if their next move!

Don’t overlook Simba just yet, if you are doing some Circle of Life combo, you can first play him in and hopefully the Boost can play another character for free! Highrolling but can cause some problem if you manage to play 2 7 drops in one turn and in the early game.

4 drop to only reduce 1 Strength and only when played is not the best use of an Amber deck’s ink.

Della supports your boost folks, I think potentially can combo with characters but the fact they can’t challenge or quest feels like they are only readied to prevent from challenging. 4 drop for it feels underwhelm, might as well have Sven from Set 5 that does the same but not limited to Boost…

Mickey is a simple yet helpful support for your Amber folks! The +2 Willpower will come in handy and he might be able to sing 8 cost song all by himself!

Shift Goofy is not bad but for 8 drop or Shift 8, the 1 Strength reduction needs to be prominent enough for your characters and him to safely quest. You still need a cheap Goofy to shift into him. Might be a bit too much effort for too little.

Gazelle is nice for a Singer 7 and her play effect helps to put a song that is in your discard on top of your deck so you can use it again! Pretty much a decent move so you can reuse a song over and again. The stats are not bad and definitely usable in a singer deck.

4 drop to make an opponent discard 2 cards only if they have more cards than you is a bit redundant, I mean why not use the 4 drop on something more powerful and impactful. The discarding is nice, but as an Amber player, I am not sure if we should be disturbing the opponent’s hand, for all you know, you are the one with more cards in hand.

3 drop song to retrieve a character is fine, but I think Amber decks doesn’t need to use a song to get someone back, just replace this card with a character.

2 drop song for the card draw is all that matters, the reduction in Strength will come in handy too since it last till your next turn.

This is such a good removal for Amber decks! The anti-Evasive will help you combat Evasive folks! Can draw a card as well, you can even find ways to see if you can make someone Evasive for this action to trigger!

I think 2 drop item to get a character is not bad, the effect is mainly for Boost characters so might come in handy.

A draw effect for your Boost characters, not a bad effect, once you are out of cards to play, your ink can be use for boosting and for this to draw some cards. Can consider 2 copies to aid your boost cards.

Before you start judging this item, let me say that the Black Cauldron can be a game changer. You can have 1 or 2 copies in your deck for the late game, where you are top decking for a rush deck, and using him, you can spend 1 ink to pick something up from your discard pile first, and next turn 1 ink to play that character!

2 drop for healing is decent but not needed for Amber at this stage. You probably won’t play Gurgi too to trigger the second effect so I won’t bother with this item.

The economy of the card don’t make sense, I mean you can use it to reduce a character’s cost but you also need to put a character into the location. I just don’t like the Willpower of the location being so low so once you play it out, your opponent will try to take it down

Minnie aids your Amethyst characters, probably meant for a rush to Midrange deck so after the Amethyst character is banished in challenges, you get to draw a card. She is also an easy target to pick if your draw power is too good.

A cheap Shift if you manage to pull it off, you can potentially bounce back a character to your hand after they are banished in a challenge, just need to discard a card, you can even just discard them away if you have no use of them.

5 drop for the stats and only Evasive feels risky. The effect is nice to exert a character when he quest, but the fact that he only has 3 Willpower and so many Alert and Evasive characters can banish him. I think not terrible, just that I expected more.

1 drop for the stats is fine, it’s also the cheapest Horned King for a shift target.

Great stats but Amethyst doesn’t really need the beefy stats, they just need 5 drops that does good stuff, so this will be passable for most decks.

A sleeper piece and with potentially 6 Strength she can take down anyone and almost survive! 4 drop so not too bad, can keep characters in check.

I don’t need you need to put cards back to your discard nor spend 3 cost to mess around your opponent’s discard, at least not this meta.

A simple way to gain free lore but with the stats and at 4 drop, I think there are better things to do, and not like you are rushing with Amethyst as well.

2 drop for a Challenger 5 is nice, can take down a lot of nonsense. Do understand he has no retaliation when challenged, so that’s why he is not top tier for his cost.

2 drop Evasive for the stats is just alright given that so many other Evasive characters have better stats or abilities.

3 drop just to draw a card feels underwhelm, plus she is a 3 drop and the Strength isn’t that much better.

4 drop for the stats and 2 lore is fine, maybe one day Dragons become a thing he will stand out.

3 drop for only Rush is not bad but mainly a support piece for Boost characters. Can potentially support a character but at the same time boost someone.

4 drop and can potentially bounce back to hand is nice, but with 3 Willpower, he feels like he might get banish via non-challenge so the ability won’t work in your favour.

A great card for a rush deck, you can combo with Zombie Lilo from set 6 and he gets 3 lore that turn. Potentially workable.

A reprint from Set 4. Tick Tock has Evasive and is super beefy and hard to get taken out, a great addition for Evasive deck and your opponent will have issue getting rid of him and also he can take down most Evasive characters for you. 1 or 2 copies wouldn’t hurt since he is inkable.

5 drop to gain lore only if you have 2 Gargoyles is very limited and uninkable too, easily skippable as you have better 5 drops to choose from.

Moving Damage is nice when you boost someone during your turn, but I think 5 drop is too expensive for what she does, you want the damage transfer to be instant!

I think 3 cost to get back another 2 drop or less character from your discard is fine, you can use it to cycle back some key cards. Can come in handy.

In no world will you keep a 7 cost uninkable just to shift 7 to a Magica De spell just to draw 4 cards, in no world should you do so much.

A great card to allow you to exert all opposing character, so this bypasses Ward! She can also replenish your cards in hand to 3! Solid mid to late game card and definitely a great addition to your Amethyst deck!

Hades has so much value! You can either 2 draw cards or banish a character! Simply pick someone your opponent treasures and you most likely can just draw 2 cards! Inkable too and a great support and disruptive character altogether!

A great card to bounce back another character of yours, just need him to leave the play. 2 Strength as well, so can take down some folks in the early game and let you reuse someone else!

A great support and rush card in the early game! Provides 2 lore and the boost allows you to draw a card when he is banished in a challenge! 3 Willpower as well, so not too bad, mainly for an aggro mid range Amethyst build.

A great card that can catch your opponent off guard. 5 drop but just need a little boost to gain Evasive and quest for 3 lore! Sturdy as well so be patient and boost her first.

A great card to transfer damage consistently! All you need to do is just play him and boost and start transferring damage!

I don’t think you need to spend 3 ink to bounce stuff and limited to only 3 drop and below. You can bounce back your own stuff but I rather Madam Mim from set 5 to do the job instead.

4 drop song to sort of move all damage to one character and it should banish them! Also an indirect heal and banish card.

Underrated action, can be used to force your opponent to choose a character to exert, which can catch them off guard, it bypasses Ward as well.

I think 2 drop to draw cards is not bad, but most of the time you are going to use it on 2 or even 1 lore characters so might as well pack some better draw mechanic.

3 drop for a draw effect is fine, you can also exert a 2 or 1 drop character. Feels limited for the effect and can’t really affect higher cost folks.

Perfect item! For only 2 drop you can play it and only when you need it, spend the 1 drop to draw 2 cards! Inkable and can be your draw engine for the deck!

You might not want to rely on a book to gain lore when exerting an opposing character, but the second effect can come in handy to give both 4 and 6 drop Demona Rush which can be scary.

2 drop and can let some character have draw effect while here. Best to use when you have the resources to play this and send multiple characters into the location, because 3 Willpower can be taken down with ease.

A 2 drop with the Stats is not bad, but it’s neither controlling or rush, so might not see to much in play.

Similarly, as much as I like the vanilla stats, no reason to play him with so much better 1 drop.

In this meta where Alert is everywhere, you might not get to use Flotsam well with that 2 Willpower.

Same effect and stats as Prince Philip from set 6, and that card is way more useful so this is outclassed.

A great card to boost the Strength of one character, you can also use her as Shift Target for the big Webby!

Don’t overlook this 1 drop, he can potentially bounce all the 2 Strength and below characters, just need to pay 2 ink after he is played!

6 drop for Item destroyer is not very efficient, since 1 drop Clarabelle exist. But if you need someone to consistently destroy items, then you can consider him.

4 drop for 3 lore is fine, but it’s going to give you 3 lore and get challenged next turn, for 4 drop I think 3 lore is not that much if he is not consistent.

Too expensive for the effect and you don’t even have Evasive. What’s worst is the 3 damage only applies to damaged character…

5 drop for the stats and 2 lore is fine, but Emerald will benefit if you have some game breaking nonsense, which he lacks.

7 drop Evasive feels awfully hard to farm and doesn’t provide much threat apart from the 3 lore. Might not be worth your time to farm.

A good boost support character. You can use her to boost someone instantly, try to ensure the boost is 2 or higher so you gain more value.

Flint can be very powerful in the early game, he can provide 2 lore and 3 Strength which is fantastic for 1 drop. His boost may seem heavy but in grant scheme of things, he is going to give you value, especially for a mid range deck.

I think with Mean Malicious Scary around, you don’t need a character to deal AOE damage and she triggers only when she is banished via challenge.

4 drop for Location counter might not see play due to Locations not being common and you don’t need a 4 drop to get rid of it anyway.

Great stats but uninkable so might not see much in play.

Shift Baloo is not bad the effect can boost you both with a card or force a discard, just ensure you have nothing good to discard if choosing the latter. Decent card, might see some play in some decks.

A great control card, just boost her once and start questing for 2 lore and then each time she is challenged, your opponent would need to discard a card! Your opponent has to plan out well to not lose cards unnecessarily.

For the sole fact that Locations are not common, she might not trigger her effect. Location decks are nice, but feels like all this to gain 1 lore feels very slow.

A great character that can potentially banish someone but need a turn to do so. Evasive as well so not too bad. Just pray your opponent has no response to him after the turn you played him.

A great early game card for rush and also filter cards in hand. You can also bounce him back whenever challenged so he is not easy to banish. Do note the draw and discard effect is mandatory.

3 drop and only boosting the stats is decent at best, you can spend the 3 cost for so much more stuff.

Goofy is like an Emerald Chromicon. He can start banishing characters each time your Emerald characters is banished via challenges. They also gain Ward so most removal should be via challenges! Definitely can see some play.

Little John is scary, you can potentially one turn kill with him! Just play him and then quest and use all sorts of method to boost him and he keeps questing! Hard to set up but can be pulled off!

A perfect ramp card for Emerald! This is so controlling such that your opponent will be wary of their ink, she can catch up the ink to them so to you it’s like a free ramp! Try to shift her at turn 2 for the value. Also, she has WARD, seriously… not easy to take her down.

2 drop for item counter can come in handy, 1 or 2 copies won’t hurt. The extra Strength can come in handy too.

6 drop song that cannot be sung together might be hard to trigger. The effect is nice, discarding and reducing lore can be a thing but just hard to sing and uninkable.

What I hate about the card is the 2 damage but only to damaged character, feels like it might not have legal target most of the time.

A perfect AOE damage card. Simply give everyone damage and this bypass Resist and Ward! You can combo with Prince Philip Super Rare from Set 9 to do a board wipe!

A decent item to deal some damage, you can also banish it to make all opponent damaged character reckless so they are unable to close the game!

A control card to block rush or even someone from closing the game but feels a bit slow and might not see value especially if your opponent is rushing.

2 drop item and if you can keep playing characters, you can make full use of the extra lore.

A great item to support Boost and can also gain lore when your Boosted characters are challenged!

If you manage to squeeze in a lot of characters, then you can use this as a lore gainer or a bait for challenges.

A great Diablo that not only has great stats but 2 lore as well.

2 drop for the stats is alright, he is more of a boost support, allowing your Boost characters to ready after someone is boosted. Can combo with some boost folks.

3 drop for Evasive is not bad, moreover provides 2 lore, can be considered in a Ruby Amethyst Evasive heavy deck.

1 drop 3 Strength is crazy, can take down a lot of stuff and also the cheapest Tinker Bell for Shift target.

3 drop just to move to a location for 1 less feels very expensive for what she does and the card is uninkable too. 5 Strength is great but not much use for Locations.

The cheapest shere Khan for your troubles, he also has great stats.

6 drop to ready and potentially avoid being challenge after playing a 5 Strength or greater character, that being said, too expensive to set up just for this.

1 drop and potentially can get 4 Strength, I prefer Tinkle Bell for the direct 3 Strength, but Mother Gothel is also the cheapest for her shift target.

3 drop for the stats is great, just that 4 drop I think can we use it for more prominent stuff.

3 drop for Rush is not bad, but 3 Strength is a bit low for a turn 3 move.

Beast can help you to negate some lore, however you need to boost him first. I think the effect is decent but he has low Willpower which is a concern.

3 drop and can pack a punch, Bronx has a crazy 6 Strength, so can take down most character, just that it is Reckless, but fret not, you can use it solely for challenging.

More ways to exert a character, you can use Tinker Bell shift to exert 2 Strength or below character!

A great way to boost your characters in late game by allowing you to draw a card when they are banished on your turn! You can also let someone gain Rush!

The anti quest effect might come in handy, but mainly is for your opponent not to have 2 ready characters. I think he is fine but at 6 drop, he doesn’t provide much and even the ability is so restrictive.

Hercules is a beast, he can’t be dealt damage so your opponent need indirect effects on him. He can also do the same for Heroes.

Goliath is great in a Gargoyle team, however, I think too specific to make him work, might as well play something else or Shere Khan from set 9 to gain the lore instead. The stats is good though.

2 drop Evasive for the stats is good, can strike down a Dumbo!

I think Lumiere from set 9 exist, so the +1 to Ruby folks isn’t that appealing from donald. Your ruby folks only gain 1 more lore if they have 7 or more strength, feels too much to set him up just to get the boost.

3 drop to provide up to 3 lore is nice, the set up isn’t hard but feels like you really need to build around her to get the 3 lore. Stats wise is fine, just too much set up for 3 lore.

Aladdin allows Reckless to quest, but if you are playing Reckless, they probably don’t need Aladdin to boost them since they are not meant to quest anyway.

A way to recycle your actions in discard, I think a lot of set up needs to be done but she can quest and play a discard pile action for free so not too bad.

Headless Horseman can help you banish character with 2 Strength or less. The second effect can come in handy. A good game changer in mid game.

3 drop Mulan can take no damage from Challenges as long as you boost someone. I think can find some combo with her.

Brom can be anti Rush as long as he challenges 2 Strength or below characters, I think can set him up to slow down your opponent. The stats is great too.

8 drop but can shift at 5 and can keep readying as long as he has the resistant and ink to do so.

A great action to play for free and start hitting someone over and again.

1 drop to play a location from discard for free is not too bad, you can keep cycling banished locations and can be considered for Racer Rush deck!

If your character ever got useless for you, simply use this to banish them and draw cards!

Ruby alone has no exerted effect, so this action is great, it allows you to Exert all opposing character of Strength 2 or lower so you can start challenging them!

A banishing action is never a bad thing, simply banish anyone with this card.

A great 1 drop item to provide Rush and then later can spend 2 ink to provide Rush again! I think this can catch people off guard!

Movement of 2 ink to move someone here and they must have 5 strength or higher for the draw effect.

The location is essentially a way to gain 2 lore and Evasive, I think 3 ink can be spend better without so much effort.

3 drop to be able to banish an item so nothing bad, but 3 drop for item counter isn’t that worth since you need to have another Detective first, might as well use Judy from set 9 to banish directly.

Hen Wen allows you to do some filtering of cards, but 2 drop Sapphire is very awkward, since you will be ramping, might as well spend on Vision of the Future from set 5 that can get you at least 1 card instead of just rearranging.

4 drop for the stats and support is nice, can come in handy, can combo with Queen and Princess.

7 drop for 3 lore is decent but feels like you want to ramp up to 7 to do something more prominent.

2 drop for only support is decent at best, since we have Basil from set 5 at 1 drop.

2 drop for Alert and 3 Strength can be considered to take down some Evasive stuff.

5 drop and Princess seems fair, however, the -3 reduction might not combo with the Amber Sapphire combo, she can fit in with Emerald for more Strength reduction effects, that being said, I do feel like I expect more for her cost.

3 drop and 2 lore to provide Ward is nice. Can even give Ward to himself.

3 drop for the stats is decent, but feels like you might want to invest in more game breaking effects.

Similarly, vanilla cards are nice, but 5 drop I kind of expect more effects than just pure stats. You could consider in Sapphire Steel for an extra Ally.

5 drop for Ward and 2 lore is decent, but feels like nothing much Scuttle can do, might want someone more impactful.

A decent ramp card but you first need to play a 5 drop, might as well play a Kida from set 7 to get a guaranteed ramp.

Whisper Jasmine can aid to heal, you can use her in a Princess deck for the heal so nothing too bad.

A great way to provide Detective Alert and Resist 2. You can shift into her at turn 4 and she can also support your Alert folks!

1 drop 2 lore is never bad, can be considered if you want to rush using him.

A potential Ramp but feels like he needs to be banished for you to take advantage of the ramp, which you might missed your turn 3 play, he can give you 2 lore but the 2 lore might be a trap to bait you to get 2 lore but sacrificing your late game play.

Scar is decent, the boost effect can reduce someone’s strength drastically so they become very weak, you still need to do something with that effect so hope you can capitalised with it. Might be able to combo well.

Shift Daisy has Support and can also make your opponent’s ramp slowed down. I think not too bad, but you need to play her very fast to do some effect, it forces your opponent to always be one ink behind. You could potentially screw their turn 3 play if she is your turn 3 play. Hopefully during the disruption you can do a lot of things. I am not grading him 5 star because she is most effective only when you go first.

The broken card for the set. She is not overpowered, she is just efficient. As long as you can keep playing characters, you can ramp and filter your hand cards! It’s just very efficient and can be a turn 3 ramp and play a 6 drop during turn 4!

4 drop to be able to find more Detective, might work in some Detective deck, can keep trigger the effect as well.

2 drop Pluto can help you to get back an Item, I think not too bad to recycle items back to your deck, but needs Detective in order to get it back to hand.

The Sapphire support champion. She allows you to filter cards after your Sapphire characters quest, not too bad, maybe 1 copy for some filtering.

Another way to ramp, you can boost Kristoff and then each time you quest, he can ramp for you.

A reprint from set 2, a drop in Rarity. This former Legendary Alice is great for a deck with high Strength so they can either use support to boost others, or to boost herself to provide the 5 lore!

1 drop to do some filter but I think Develop your brain from set 9 would be better since you also get a card along with it.

2 drop to only provide 1 lore and Support for a turn feels expensive, unless you can think of someone who can truly benefit from this.

This is a great song for you to get 1 character and 1 item! Can be sung too so good for an item deck, even for 1 character is also not too bad.

A way to get rid of a character if you really need to do so. You also give them 1 ramp so be careful of who you target. It’s an inkable card in the least.

A perfect anti rush card! Simply put 3 drop or lower characters to their inkwell! Can even counter a mid range deck.

1 drop and can consistently give Resist and Detective to someone so not too bad if you can set this up. Can come in handy for certain decks.

I prefer a more consistent way of ramping, not everyone will play draw mechanic per turn, you also cannot play anything to trigger the effect, so must be purely your opponent’s decision.

An item to potentially gain Ward for your Princess, I think might be viable in a Princess deck.

A great item not only to draw a card but also gives your character Alert to fight Evasive folks!
