I hope locations slow down aggro a bit. Right now I feel like I’m playing aggro or ramping so I can play be prepared.

I think this is probably a combination of aggro/ramp being very strong right now but also the entry point to good aggro or ramp decks being cheap/easy to get. Pawsicle decks are very good and easily to build and upgrade. Comparatively good Steelsong or other decks require many more rare cards to come online. Even before locations are out I think we’ll see some of this calm down with more product availability. Speaking of, there is lots more product out there now. WM/Target/B&N are getting stocked weekly and I’ve seen plenty of first chapter every time I’ve been. Booster box prices on TCGplayer for tfc have crashed to close to MSRP. Floodborne is still hard to find but that should resolve itself in a few weeks.

I think it’s awesome that both Floodborn precons have half of a meta worthy deck and are decent stand alone. On Pixelborn, where everyone can is on the same playing field, I see a ton of aggro. Purple bounce, with a side of steel, red, or amber are all strong. I play hot Pawsickle because it feels good when it pops off (I like drawing cards) it’s pretty consistent, and it usually can blunt aggro momentum if it can find a be prepared and ramp to 7. I’d like to see some weird green tech get some love, like the witch cheating out big lore characters, or somehow using King Richard to draw 14 off of whole new world.

Amazon is shipping the Floodborne preorders that accidentally went up a few weeks early. I thought for sure they’d end up cancelling all of them. Based on what Amazon is showing on the PDP they sold 8k booster boxes of Floodborne. Was out this morning doing some Christmas shopping and every store in the area had starters from both sets and TFC boosters. MSRP product everywhere is great. Secondary sealed product is barely above MSRP now. Singles are down across the board except for some of the super high demand ones like Maleficent Monstrous Dragon and Be Prepared. We’ll probably be at readily available in stores for both sets in the next few weeks.

I saw enormous stacks of TFC boosters at my Walmart Supercenter yesterday. They hard limit 3 of any TCG at mine so probably why. Target had tons of Floodborn starters and some accessories left over but no boosters. I did get those Mulan sleeves and the deck box though.

FLGS had full boxes of chapter 1 for sale. Best Buy had stock, but I had to ask at the register. GameStop same, except I got a D100 box. It’s too bad none of those cards are good, because they look sick

Just got my Amazon invite to order the Floodborn Amber and Sapphire starter deck. It took a few tries at checkout as it said the seller (Amazon itself) didn't have any more available a few times, then it went through. No invite for the boosters yet.

Ive seen some LGS and even some resellers listing TFC booster boxes under MSRP because product is so plentiful now. Ravensburger hosed up a lot of things about the launch but they made good on their statement that there would be product everywhere for the holidays. I still see lots of scalpers trying because Facebook is flooded with listings for boosters and troves and boxes but it doesn’t look like any of them are actually selling. There are a lot of listings on auction sites for boxes at 10-20% over MSRP even for the D100 set. We’ll hopefully see the remaining scalping dry up soon and it will just be that initial rush when a new set drops.

Previews for the new set are starting to come out The Tinkerbell translates into “when one of your items is banished, put it facedown in your inkwell. The Stitch has elusive and gains ward when at a location  Looks like the starters are red blue and amber green Tinkerbell may slot into paw paw, but I think you want to recur your pawsickles so maybe not. Also 5 is expensive and it’s looks like she’s only 1 lore (or maybe 0!) Then again, going from 5 to 7 ink is what that deck wants to do. Stitch seems ok, seems expensive but hard to kill. Have to see how good locations are.

what does stitch quest for? because 5 for a 3/3 evasive with sometimes ward seems bad. lots of 5 costs immediately impact the board or protect themselves.

So pretty bad. This is the gift set, which had the Mulan that added to lore value of other characters for a turn when she banished a character, and the Hades that got additional lore for each villain. Don’t think either saw play.

At least both Mulan and Hades have potential (I've used the red Mulan in my FLGS's constructed league and with a few weenies out and a way to ready her, she can easily get you an extra 4-6 lore a turn, the yellow Hades just needs some more villains to get going).

Went to a game store yesterday and they had plenty of packs for $10 and a full case of starters (not one had been bought) sitting there for $20 which isn't even that bad. I have to think even the lgs are going to have to break and start selling for MSRP soon since it feels like the product isn't moving as fast at the scalper prices anymore.

Local Best Buy and Barnes and nobles had some in stock, was refreshing to find msrp packs in the wild and I can definitely deck build some low powered jank now. Our area only had chapter one, but seeing that Best Buy was a little better stocked, I took a chance and checked out a Best Buy about forty miles away that was allotted chapter 2 based off Best Buy’s website and they had some in stock. Unless they had another unopened box they didn’t have much but they had enough for me to get their limit. Hoping chapter three release is easy to find from the jump and that they’ve ironed out their logistics kinks.

Some Inkland spoilers      Peter Pan seems to be the best of them, but depends on how good locations are. Piglet also had some potential, but unless there’s a reason people would stop playing grab your sword, or be prepared, suffers from the meta not liking wide decks. Purple getting healing that is just transfer is some interesting flavor on a probably mid card.

I think they’re worse than Yzma, which doesn’t get a full x4 generally in a purple/x aggro. Having to wait a whole turn to make an impact is a huge downside. Also most of the things you’d want to remove have at least three toughness, so it’s rough to get this to 2 for 1. Might pair nicely in purple/steel if steel gets some buff.

New spoiler Seems like a good upgrade of Phil, 1 more ink for ward and 1 more lore. Doesn’t slot into any existing decks but might later.

The LGS I usually shop at now has dozens of TFC boxes at MSRP with no limit. Ravensburger has indeed delivered of fixing the supply issues. Hopefully set three will have a shitload of product on day one and the supply issues can be a thing of the past.

https://www.boardgamebliss.com/collections/lorcana-sealed-products Boardgamebliss has a lot of Lorcana sealed product in stock right now at MSRP (canadabux). Site is good, I used it in the early days of Star Wars Destiny scarcity to buy product at MSRP, and shipping to the US is reasonable. I just ordered all 5 starter sets shipped for $87 USD, so after shipping and exchange rate its right on target for $17/ea MSRP.

So I finally got a hold of a bunch of cards for this, plus my GF got me a whole box of boosters. So I've been experimenting with deckbuilding and I wanna make a Peter Pan Deck, with the linchpin of it being Peter's Shadow, which gives all characters rush, elusive. Obviously, a lot of rush characters but what else should I take? It would be a Ruby/Amathyst deck so any advice on what else should be in it?

Obviously, a lot of rush characters but what else should I take? Something like this? https://lorcana.gg/builder/bcvy9jbngx This deck contains the ambitious Minnie package for cleanup. Since rush decks want to be wiping the board with challenges as much as possible, Queen of Hearts 5 is a good utility piece and can shift up from Queen of Hearts 2. Note that the effect of Pocket Watch is unfortunately limited to your turn so it doesn't provide the extra protection desired that Shadow would normally grant. One issue with a rush focused deck like this is so many of the desirable cards are uninkable and low lore, so I had to round the deck out with some high lore evasives since presumably you can keep evasive challengers at bay. Hmm, as you can see, Peter Pan Red didn't actually make it into the deck. I don't think he's very good, even in this deck, but I guess if I had to I'd trim 2 copies of Shere Khan and Pongo for him?

Depends if you want any other Peter Pan cards in there or not. Shadow is good in a evasive/rush but most of the other Peter Pan cards aren’t very good. If you were trying to build a Ruby/Amethyst Evasive Control around Shadow you’d probably go some mix of: 2 Maui Hero to All 2-4 Rafiki 2-4 Be Prepared 2-4 Go the Distance 4 Friends on the Other Side 2 Perplexing Singposts 2-3 Lady Tremaine Overbearing Matriarch 2-3 Lady Tremaine Imperious Queen 4 Olaf or pascal 4 Queen of Hearts Impulsive 2-3 Queen of Hearts Sensing Weakness 4 Shere Khan 1-2 Scar Vicious Cheater You can add Mulan, Lefou, Peter Pan, or Maleficent to round things out, Your goal would be to aggressively challenge and just clear the board constantly. With so much evasive, ideally the opponent can’t punish you for challenging. You could also use shadow with a bounce deck with Merlin/madam mim but that’s not really a Peter Pan deck, it’s a Merlin/Mim bounce deck using Shadow to buff Mim.
