I hope the Lorcana team is actively aware of stale metagames in local and regional game stores when designing their cards
Action cards are played as a one-time use effect and often are more powerful than Items, but also often cost quite a bit more ink
These promo cards also come with a fancy first edition logo, letting collectors know that even if they Mickey Mouse for another event, theres only one printing that came first
Starter decks are a great way to pick up and play Lorcana, but they're also the beginning of a collection, and some decks have incredibly useful, meta-defining cards in them that will save you from having to buy a lot of singles
A deck built around a crew of pirates is simply cool, and the Amber/Ruby combo fit more in line with my playstyle
Hades Infernal Schemer is the gold standard for non-destructive removal because he doesnt banish a character, he places them facedown into the opponents inkwell
